2. BAG-IN-BOX SYSTEMS FLEXITANK DRUMS

3.  Intermodal tank containers are designed for transport on road, rail, and sea
 Built to 20 ft ISO dimensions, it is the same size as a traditional box container
 Barrel contained within ISO frame is constructed of stainless steel and has an
insulation blanket that is covered by a cladding of GRP or aluminum alloy
 Food-grade tank containers started as standard tankers (similar to chemical
tanks) that have been dedicated to the transportation of food-grade liquids
 Hawaii Intermodal has designed tanks to improve efficiencies for product
specific needs, i.e., changed valving for shipping milk from California to
Hawaii, applied aseptic technology for shipping NFC OJ in Florida, etc.

10. Tank Cleaning
CIP Wash System
 JPA approved wash completed before sterilization
• Prior load history provided for each tank (3 loads)
 ATP & allergen tests conducted to ensure proper
sanitization of equipment

11. Sterilization
ClO2 Sterilization
 Chlorine dioxide kills microorganisms by disrupting transport of
nutrients across the cell wall (Strong Oxidizer)
 First registered by EPA in aqueous form in 1967 as
disinfectant/sanitizer
 Registered as gas sterilant in 1988 for mfg equipment, environmental
surfaces, tools, and clean rooms
 Enerfab/Purdue University developed the use of ClO2 for various
sterilization purposes including:
 Sterilization of processing equipment surfaces (vessels, pipelines, etc.)
 Sterilization of food surfaces
 Sterilization of food processing facilities
 Benefits of using Enerfab ClO2 process includes:
 Lower utility costs
 Shortened sterilization time
 Reduction in waste water
 Reduced sterilization time (from 6 days to 1 day)

12. Loading & Pressurization
Valves & Equipment
 Designed to integrate with systems set up at processing facilities
 Quick, convenient loading/unloading of product
 Optional level control probes available for precise loading
Pressurized Vessel
 After sterilization, tanks are pressurized with sterile nitrogen and sealed
 Process ensures sterility when tanks arrive at facility

13. • Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) log product temperature
from the time the temperature is loaded, until the time of discharge
• Sanitary Pressure Sensors continually monitor and transmit internal
tank pressure to ensure that positive pressure is maintained
throughout shipping
• PLC Displays log data and provide easy access to logged information
 Each tank fitted with a PLC that logs data from each sensor
 Displays are uploaded to a database upon departure and arrival
 Client log-in on our website allows for customers to access updated
information on their shipments

14. Why tanks over other methods?
 Ease of use
 Reduced capital investment
 Reduced labor and product handling costs
 Ship larger volumes
 Elimination of product loss from bags/bins
 Safer/more stable than large bags in containers

15. Why tanks over other methods?
 Reduced loading/unloading time
 Re-use – no need to purchase a bag every time
 Eco-Friendly Footprint
 Potential to eliminate re-pasteurization
Added supply chain value
