Dry Bulk Liner for PTA Transport

PTA (Purified Terephthalic Acid), a white powdery crystal at room temperature, is one of the important bulk organic raw materials, mainly used to produce polyester fiber (polyester), polyester bottle chips and polyester film, which are widely used in various aspects of the national economy such as chemical fibers, light industry, electronics, and construction.

 

Due to the flexibility of jumbo bags on transportation loading and unloading, the mode of "jumbo bag + bulk carrier" is widely used in the world for chemical transport especially for PTA.

However, this kind of logistics mode has the following problems in the actual operation of transportation.

● Time-consuming 

The crane equipment at the terminal can only operate 4-5 pcs of jumbo bags at a time when loading and unloading.

● Expensive Packaging Cost

The price of a single jumbo bag is up to RMB70 (about 10.8 US dollars);

● Unsuitable for Small-volume Shipment

● The product might be contaminated.

 

The new transportation mode of "dry bulk liner + container" becomes a more popular trend because of its simple operation and low logistics cost.

It has the following advantages:

● Maximize the container space: A 20ft dry bulk liner can load up to 28 cubic meters;

● Single container transportation: It can load with small quantities of commodities;

● Commodities arrive at their destination in good quality in a dry and closed container;

● Easy to operate: A 20ft dry bulk liner can be installed in 5 minutes by only one person, and be full filled within 30 minutes only.
