Frequently Asked Questions
The Multitank is a next-generation reusable bulk container designed for hygienic storage and transport of liquid and semi-liquid food products such as olive oil, juice, brine, vinegar, and sauces. Unlike conventional single-use drums or standard IBCs, the Multitank is built for long-term use and sustainability, offering up to 100 reuse cycles and a design life of around 10 years.
Constructed from recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it ensures superior durability, food safety, and chemical resistance. The smooth internal walls and sloped base allow complete drainage and easy cleaning, reducing product loss and preventing residue buildup. Its sealed system includes a pin-secured lid with a pressure-relief valve and a 2-inch outlet valve for fast, clean discharge.
By replacing disposable packaging with this reusable system, producers can significantly reduce waste, cut logistics costs, and maintain product quality across the entire supply chain — from processing to distribution.
Sustainability is central to the Multitank’s design. Each container can be stacked up to three units high when filled and nested with a 6:1 return ratio when empty, reducing return transport volume by up to 80%. This not only saves valuable storage space but also lowers CO₂ emissions and freight costs.
Made from 100% recyclable food-grade HDPE, the Multitank meets the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR 2025) requirements, helping producers transition to circular, low-waste operations. It can be reused over multiple production cycles without compromising hygiene or performance, and when it eventually reaches the end of its service life, it can be fully recycled.
This combination of structural strength, reusability, and compliance makes the Multitank a proven solution for companies aiming to achieve long-term sustainability goals while maintaining operational efficiency.
Cleaning and maintaining the Multitank is straightforward thanks to its smooth internal surface and sloped floor, which allow complete drainage of liquids and quick rinsing. After each use, rinse with warm water, followed by a wash using a mild food-safe detergent or a CIP (Clean-In-Place) system. Avoid abrasive tools or harsh chemicals that could damage the HDPE surface.
Ensure all valves, seals, and the lid gasket are checked regularly for wear to maintain airtight performance. The container can be safely handled using a 4-way forklift entry, which allows easy movement between processing, storage, and shipping areas. For long-term storage, keep the tanks in a shaded, dry area to prevent UV exposure.
With proper care, each Multitank can deliver years of consistent, food-safe performance — maintaining the quality of your products while reducing packaging waste and operating costs.
