To meet increased demand for special transports and in order to do justice to the requirements of the new contract, Liquid CONcept is investing a quarter million euro in its fleet of small containers. More than 100 heatable IBC (intermediate bulk containers) will be modified to accommodate the client’s production processes and quality specifications.
Rather than using the 200 liter drums initially foreseen for transport of liquid petrolatum, Liquid CONcept is using heatable containers for the first time. The advantage is that, unlike transport in unheated drums, the crude mixture retains its fluidity during transport and does not set, so there is no need for a melting phase of production in heating chambers. Deploying heatable containers not only shortens the manufacturer’s production cycles for ointments and creams, it is also more efficient and cost-effective.
The client is currently working on the basis of a monthly transport volume of around 25 tonnes of crude material. If, as expected, demand should increase, the volume can be adapted flexibly to production requirements. Heated tank containers are also under consideration. Thanks to Liquid CONcept’s just-in-time logistics concepts, the pharmaceuticals client will be able to react quickly to the demands of the market.
The initial contract is fixed for two years.
