Zonghai Plastics is proud to share a remarkable milestone in bulk liquid transportation — our flexitank solutions are now powering China-Europe Railway Express shipments of Russian rapeseed oil.
The first train carrying Russian rapeseed oil from Krasnoyarsk has successfully arrived in Xi’an, marking a significant achievement for rail-based bulk liquid logistics. The shipment, carried entirely in flexitanks within standard containers, demonstrates the growing role of flexible liquid packaging in international rail transport.
Key advantages of rail flexitank solutions:
- Cost-effective — significantly lower than traditional drum or ISO tank shipping
- High capacity — up to 24,000 liters per 20ft container
- Food-grade safety — suitable for edible oils and other food-grade liquids
- Door-to-door convenience — no transloading required
- Eco-friendly — single-use packaging reduces carbon footprint
Our railway flexitanks are specially designed and tested for long-haul rail transport, featuring:
- Reinforced structure to withstand rail vibration and impact
- Food-grade polyethylene inner layers
- Leak-proof valve systems
- Complete installation accessories including bulkheads and support frames
“The China-Europe Railway Express route is opening new opportunities for bulk liquid trade between Asia and Europe,” said a spokesperson for Zonghai Plastics. “Our flexitank solutions make it possible for food and chemical producers to ship liquids efficiently and safely by rail, at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.”
