Wine travelling in bulk rather than in bottles is less likely to be affected by temperature shifts on its journey, because it has a greater thermal inertia. But this is only one risk that could deteriorate the quality of your wines in transit. Taint compounds an oxygen ingress are also hazards you need to safeguard your bulk wines from.
Hillebrand Gori flexitanks were designed in collaboration with wine experts and include a unique protective barrier to protect the quality in every drop. The barriers comprise separate tri-laminate layers to prevent water vapour transmission, protecting wine against oxidation and taint compounds. Flexitanks are available in single and multi-layer sizes ranging from 10k to 24k litres. Hillebrand Gori flexitanks are easy to fit with a proprietary valve and elbow designs for minimal product residue.
Hillebrand manufacture bulk shipping flexitanks in their own facilities and place high importance on compliance. That’s why their bulk wine flexitanks have international accreditations and certifications.
