Description

Arrangement of flexible tanks for transport of independent materials.

Object of the invention

More specifically, the invention relates to a deposit system linked together but independent as far as to its content, of the so-called flexible, used for the transport of liquids in containers, specifically designed said provision for transporting various materials independent in the same set.

State of the art

They exist in the market, and therefore can considered as the state of the art of the invention, various systems for transporting products, mainly liquids, in containers

Due to the growing security demands, quality and adaptability to the demands of transport, these systems have evolved so that in recent years begins to use the deposit system in an extended way flexible inside container tanks.

So far flexible deposits existing, they consist of two or more layers of material, which allow to give the whole the flexible structure, at the same time as It has sufficient strength to ensure transport. This concept is overcome with flexible monolayer tanks described in patent application ES 200900918.

Container transport systems have had to adapt to the demands of the markets, and by consequently, to the adaptability and requirements of the Products transported and their quantities. These requirements of flexibility they have tried to solve with deposits that have of an interior partition that allows such independence (EP1657186), and with the inclusion of two flexible deposits in a structure rigid (FR2815021).

These transport systems, to achieve integrate two independent products in the same container, show obvious problems as they are, in the first case (EP1657186), the possible leaks by the partition wall by the welding, since as we have indicated, the welding of Different layers of wrapping materials.

In the second system (FR2815021) there is the problem associated with simple flexible tanks and also the inconvenience of being associated with a rigid structure that must be specific for each space in which you want
include.

Purpose of the invention

Avoid the lack of adaptability of containerized transport through flexible tanks, using a provision that guarantees maximum safety and adjustment necessary to the needs of transporting quantities less than transport container standards and with diversity of subjects with the requirements that make them independent.

Description of the invention

The recommended invention is embodied in a containerized transport system, consisting of several tanks flexible independent monolayer, under the same unit of transport, containers.

Said transport system, have as aim to house as many deposits as products independent want to transport, until reaching the volume maximum, which is limited by the container capacity of transport. In the most common case and the relationship is maximized independent volumes-products, is two flexible tanks with an approximate volume of 12,000 liters, per transport unit

The flexible deposits used will be preferably known as monolayer, of polyethylene of high density and with material thicknesses around 400 to 800 microns, as specified in the Spanish patent application  ES200900918.

These deposits will have the corresponding loading and unloading valves, as well as  aeration or other special analog systems, which are necessary for product quality issues transported, such as wine or other food product that Need specific attention.

The transport unit, formed by flexible deposits, grouped by means of an envelope, formed by a sheet, preferably of raffia or of a material that meets the design conditions, bound perimeter, to form the wrapper, which has the openings corresponding to loading and unloading systems, as well as extra valves, of each of the deposits it contains. This it makes the deposits solidarity with each other, without have to join each other, and that they are delimited to the raffia that contains them, designed to be located in the container of destination transport

Other details and features will go away showing in the course of the description that to given below, in which reference is made to the drawings that to this memory they are accompanied, in which it is shown by title illustrative but not limiting a practical realization of the invention.

Follow below a list of different parts that form the invention and that are in the figures that are attached to this report and that are written and identified by the corresponding numbers; (10) system transport, (11) flexible tanks, (12) envelope, (13) valve loading and unloading, (14) auxiliary valves, (15) lateral joint of the flexible tank (11), (16) perimeter connection of the raffia envelope (12), (17) openings in the envelope raffia (12).

Description of a preferred embodiment of the invention

The transport system (10) is formed, according to one of the preferred embodiments, for two deposits flexible (11) grouped by an envelope (12).

The flexible tanks (11) that are used they are, preferably and for this preferred embodiment, of the type High density polyethylene monolayer, reaching thicknesses of walls of up to 800 microns, and with only unions of the funds (15), being deposits made with polyethylene supplied in tube, to avoid more welds and their corresponding risks of leaks.

Said flexible deposits (11) have in their body of the loading and unloading valve (13), as well as the corresponding auxiliary valves (14) that are necessary (relief, aeration, etc.), integrated into them and completely sealed.

The envelope (12) is formed by a sheet, usually raffia, which is shaped like an envelope, by means of a junction (16) throughout the longitudinal perimeter. Obviously said union (16) is not performed until deposits have been introduced (11) inside. The space capable of containing the raffia Envelope (12) is the right one to house the two deposits (11) at its maximum filling level, without suffering forces of crushing on each other or on the envelope itself (12).

The envelope (12) has openings (17) that fit the loading and unloading valves (13) as well as with the auxiliary valves (14), so that they are accessible and easily manipulated.

Suitably described the present invention in correspondence with the attached figures, it is easy to understand that any modifications of detail deemed convenient as long as it is not introduce modifications of details that alter the essence of the  invention that is summarized in the following claims.
