¿What is Flexitank BBL?
 Flexitank BBL is a flexible packaging made
of polyethylene, that is used for storing and
transporting a wide variety of liquid food,
industrial products and liquid non-
hazardous chemicals; each flexitank can be
placed in a dry container 20' or any
transport with the same characteristics; to
be transported by air, sea, rail or road.
The flexitank BBL standard consists of inner
layers made with lining of food grade
Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE),and an
outer layer of tissue Polypropylene (PP)
highly resistant to wear.
Flexitank BBL has a capacity of 14-24 cubic
meters, with a maximum capacity of 24,000
liters of liquid, which are the best way to
transport in a container for liquid.
Maximum product allowable in the BBL-3 shall be the greater of:
 24 000kg if the specific gravity >1, or
 24 000 liters (6340 US Gallons) if the specific gravity <1
Technical developments of flexitank BBL
The flexitank BBL of PE (Polyethylene) has
been developed, in large measure, to
optimize the quality and cost.

These developments have been applied equally
to the accessories, such as the installation of
inorganic material and the valves for bottom
loading, which have been converted into
standards of various sectors and products, such
as oil or wine.

Some distributors have preferred the single-ply for
its resistance and ease of downloading.
All our distributors are conducive to the multi-ply
by its combination of strength, lightness and ease
of handling.
Both products have ensured its success.
But certainly, with our materials and designs, we
always offering the best combination, endurance,
flexibility and hygiene, at the best price.
In BBL we offer to our customers flexitanks single-use only. Thus, we give the total guarantee
 that there will be no type of contamination by any residue from a previous product.
 Depending on the number of layers with which this manufactured, there are three
 types of flexitank:
  Flexitank multilayer: Flexitank BBL are manufactured between 4 - 5 layers of
 polyethylene. The main advantage of these flexitank is that each layer is very thin and
 flexible, which makes it very easy finished downloading and bend the flexitank semi empty
 to not leave losses .
  Flexitank monolayer: The flexitank BBL is manufactured from a single layer of
 polyethylene thicker than the multilayer and , therefore, is less flexible. Its main
 advantage is that there is no traces of product between the layers. Not being
 marketed by their low demand. (Consult to ordering)

 Flexitank bilayer 1+2 : is the most common structure for the degree of power Low-
 density Polyethylene (LDPE); including all the advantages of other Flexitank BBL.

 Flexitank BBL is manufactured with a layer of polyethylene, hard as the monolayer, but
 thin and flexible, coated by a second layer of polyethylene that protects the inner layer of
 the irregularities that may possess the container .
 The structure of flexitank BBL for the most common food grade, it is called, " 1 +2"
        “ Inner layer (1 x 0.25mm + 2 x 0.125mm) + outer layer PP ”
        “ Inner layer (1 x 0.35mm + 2 x 0.125mm) + outer layer PP ”
The material of the body of Flexitank BBL
The flexitank BBL is composed of internal layers + PE outer layer PP (Polypropylene)
                                            Outer layer PP , elaborated with tissue blue - white .

                                            the longitudinal seams to not actually as well the risks
                                            of defects or faults. The reinforcement enhancing
                                            physical strength, durability and safety, resulting with
                                            the enhanced containment. (that is to say, sewed by
                                            only 2 sides, guaranteeing their quality)

Valve PP FLEXITANK BBL

• The Flexitank BBL is being made
with a ball valve for loading and
unloading of the content with
quick coupler standard of 3 inches.
 In the common position between
 the valve and the internal
 flexitank , a device is added
 security protection, which will
 prevent the inner layer of the film
 may be blocked with effectiveness.
• FlexitankBBL also has a blow-off
valve (air-vent) of 1.5” in diameter,
and 100mm long, to drive out the
content of the air at the time of
loading, unloading and during the
transport.

• Flexitank BBL offers to types,
load/unload valve top or load/unload
bottom.
Valve protector PE of FLEXITANK BBL


• This valve protector in the
ball valve from flexitank
BBL, is made with
Styrofoam to protect the
fix the valve and has been
created to protect the
valve of sudden
movements during its
transport, ensuring
maximum protection in the
service.

• Availability of valve for
sampling of the loaded
product.
Automatic air-vent
1. Applicable to the products
   that are easy to ferment .

2. Load cargo from valve directly
   after flexitank installed. The
   unique design of airvent makes
   it available to exhaust air when
   air pressure in flexitank reached
   to 0.0065Mpa during loading
   and transportation. This
   provided a normal pressure in
   flexitank. Airvent is 100mm
   height which could effectively
   prevent liquid run out.

Depending on the type of product being transport, depending on the
atmospheric conditions, you can install the flexitank BBL with Heating
Pad; maintaining the desired temperature since the beginning of the
load, until his discharge in the final destination.

                Heating Pad
 There are a lines of rubber and steel in the form of zig-
 zag is placed at the time of installation of the Flexitank;
 enabling us to provide heat to the product until
 melting,so as to stimulate their download.
   1. It is used for liquids easy to crystallize, being faster
 download.
   2. It can be reused.
