Exporting RBD Coconut Oil in bulk is most efficient using flexitank containers. This method, known as RBD Coconut Oil Flexitank Shipping, provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for international buyers. In this complete guide, Heaven Coconut Global explains the benefits, processes, and best practices for shipping RBD CNO using flexitanks.
What is a Flexitank?
A flexitank is a flexible, multilayered bladder made of polyethylene and polypropylene, designed to transport non-hazardous liquids in bulk. It is inserted into a standard 20-foot shipping container and can hold up to 24,000 liters of liquid.
Why Use Flexitank for RBD Coconut Oil Shipping?
Here are several reasons why flexitank shipping is ideal for RBD Coconut Oil exporters:
-
✅ High Capacity: It holds more volume than drums or IBC totes.
-
✅ Cost-Efficient: Lower freight and packaging costs per metric ton.
-
✅ Reduced Contamination Risk: Single-use design ensures hygiene and purity.
-
✅ Quick Loading & Unloading: Minimizes handling time.
-
✅ Lower Carbon Footprint: it produces less waste than traditional packaging.
Shipping Process: Step-by-Step
1. Product Preparation
-
RBD CNO is filtered and tested to meet international quality standards (e.g. FFA, color, moisture).
-
Heated gently to maintain liquidity if solidified due to cold weather.
2. Flexitank Installation
-
Next, a trained technician installs the flexitank inside a 20-foot container.
3. Loading the Oil
-
RBD CNO is pumped into the flexitank using food-grade hoses.
-
Air vents and pressure monitoring ensure safe filling.
4. Sealing and Documentation
-
The flexitank is sealed, container is closed and secured.
-
Export documents like B/L, COA, MSDS, and invoice are prepared.
5. Transport and Delivery
-
The container is transported by sea to the destination port.
-
At destination, the buyer pumps out the oil using compatible equipment.
