Describing it as an ideal alternative to breakbulk for the transportation of liquids and optimally preserving the product’s properties, France’s CMA CGM has launched Reeflex, which is essentially a bag in a box.
Developed in partnership with Teconja, a German expert in juices, and Liqua, an expert in packaging solutions for the transportation of liquids, Reeflex allows for the transportation of liquids (juices, milk, compotes, syrup and all kind of oils) in a single bag with a capacity ranging from 12,000 to 24,000 litres. Available on reefer 40 ft containers, Reeflex can be installed in just three minutes. Thanks to its external pumping system, the bag is filled and emptied in 35 minutes.
“REEFLEX represents an ideal alternative to break bulk and it will allow exporters and importers to carry their goods by containers, thus improving the conditions of transportation and delivery,” CMA CGM said in a release.
Whats a difference with ubiquitous flexi-tanks? Thats its for 40R instead of 20D?
Would be more “efficient” in 20ft reefers, which can hold 28,000+ litres of bagged liquid.
Not a new idea at all, flexi-bags been around for 25 years!
