Grain exports from Ukraine - innovative way found
Grain exports from Ukraine - agrarians have started using a new method of grain transportation.
Ukraine has experienced significant problems with grain exports since the war began. Ports are blocked and most land hubs are not ready for the flow of so much product. To be honest, modernizing the system will take too long, and a solution is needed now.
Already, large agricultural companies have found a new way to export grain by rail, which is not only cost-effective, but also opens up the possibility of using new, non-specialized terminals that are designed for general cargo.
The possibility to use almost any terminals for transshipment and export of grain became available due to the use by agrarians of a new type of container with load capacity of 14 tons "MAXI BAG", which is specially designed for grain crops with increased usable volume of one Maxi Bag up to 18 m3.
Thus, with the use of Maxi Bag and gondola car, farmers manage to increase the useful volume of the gondola car and transport up to 70 tons of wheat, instead of 56 tons - if a gondola car without Maxi Bag was used.
What's interesting about the Maxi Bag?
It is an innovative flexible container for grain of Ukrainian manufacturer "ARIVAPAK" patented in Ukraine, Europe and USA. Reusable begs are fully airtight and can be successfully used for more than 100 cycles.
To create such an innovative product, it took months to analyze the current problems of the market, economics and logistics, as well as testing of many prototypes. But the endeavor was definitely a success!
What opportunities opened up with the use of the 14 ton Maxi Bag?
- Due to its durability and airtightness, it is ideal for storing and transporting any food bulk products, including wheat, oats, barley, corn, etc;
- A wide variety of transportation modes can be used for this purpose, including railroads, automobiles, and sea vessels;
- Completely prevents product loss due to spillage during transportation;
- It is possible to compactly store containers in 5 tiers even in the open air and reload up to 100 tons in 10 minutes;
- It makes it possible to increase the usable volume of a open wagon - when loaded in a open wagon of 2.1 meters, the height of "Maxi Bag" of 3.1 meters will allow to use additional 15m3 on one open wagon.
Production of containers - in Ukraine, in the city of Dnipro. In "Maxi Bag" you can conveniently and safely transport any bulk goods as a regular dimensional cargo, transporting it through any crossings. This approach opens up many new logistic routes for export companies, as well as saves the budget for storage and each transshipment of grain.
