BAG-IN-BOX SYSTEMS FLEXITANK DRUMS

Page 3: ASEPTIC BULK TANKERS

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.

Improved cold chain management

Refrigerated units maintain product temperature from -20°C to 10°C

RTD logging provides real-time updates of product temperature

Low-cost cold static storage

Standard electrical plug ensures operation while on road, rail, or sea

Ensured product integrity

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

Page 11: ASEPTIC BULK TANKERS

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)

Page 12: ASEPTIC BULK TANKERS

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

Page 13: ASEPTIC BULK TANKERS

• 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

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

Page 15: ASEPTIC BULK TANKERS

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 from shipping your aseptic

product in bulk!!!
