Flexitank transport for bulk wine
Hillebrand Gori combines in-house flexitank design and manufacture with fitting, transport management and technical support. Producers and importers can work with one partner from origin through to discharge at destination. Standard and XL options help match the equipment to the wine, volume and route.
Hillebrand Gori develops and manufactures its flexitanks in-house, working with wine experts to understand what matters during transport. A protective barrier layer is designed to limit oxygen ingress and protect wine from taint compounds. This combines specialist equipment with support from a team that understands bulk wine.
Standard flexitanks carry up to 24,000 litres. For suitable journeys, our XL options can carry up to 27,000 litres in one container. Linked dual compartments support one wine, while two separate compartments can carry two different wines. The team can help select a configuration based on the wine, route and weight limits.
An XL flexitank carrying 27,000 litres holds 12.5% more wine than a standard 24,000-litre flexitank. For producers and importers managing larger volumes, this can create more flexibility around transport and bottling plans. The suitable fill level depends on the route, container and applicable weight limits.
We bring container selection, fitting, loading, transport coordination and discharge support together with its own flexitank design and manufacture. Technical specialists can help at each stage. Customs, insurance options and equipment recovery can also be coordinated where available. This integrated setup makes the journey easier to manage from origin to destination.
With myHillebrandGori, customers can follow their bulk wine shipment, access transport documents and receive updates in one place. This gives producers and importers a clearer view of the journey, from collection through to delivery, and helps them plan the next steps at destination.
Some wines and routes call for closer temperature control. Hillebrand Gori offers flexitank configurations designed for refrigerated containers, including XL options. Its bulk specialists can assess the wine, season and journey to help select a suitable transport solution.
Where local services are available, Hillebrand Gori can coordinate the recovery of used flexitanks and bulkheads. Bulkheads can be inspected for reuse, while flexitank material can enter suitable recycling routes. Selected multilayer designs also include recycled material in their outer layer.
