🌍 In the Export of Bulk Products, Like Barbecue Charcoal, Container Liners Make All the Difference
In the export of bulk products such as barbecue charcoal, ensuring its quality during transportation is essential. One of the best solutions is the use of container liners, an efficient and secure system that optimizes logistics and protects the merchandise. Their implementation has revolutionized the international transportation of charcoal, ensuring it arrives in the best conditions at its final destination.
To understand how we care for each stage, you can explore the journey of charcoal at Carbo-Ar: from forest to client.
🔎 What is a Container Liner?
A container liner is a large flexible bag made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or other resistant materials that lines the interior of a maritime export container. This protective barrier prevents direct contact between the goods and the container walls, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and protecting the cargo from external factors such as moisture, dirt, and residues from previous loads.
It is widely used in the export of bulk products, including:
-
Grains and seeds
-
Fertilizers
-
Sugar and flours
-
Minerals and industrial powders
🚢 Benefits of Using Liners in Charcoal Exportation
The use of liners in charcoal exportation to Europe offers key advantages for both exporters and importers, as it optimizes logistics and reduces costs associated with cargo handling. Some of the main benefits include:
✅ Cargo Protection
Prevents barbecue charcoal from coming into contact with container walls, avoiding contamination and reducing moisture absorption.
✅ Quality Preservation
Maintains the structure of premium Argentine charcoal, preventing crumbling or fine material loss during transport. This is essential to guarantee the high quality required by international markets.
✅ Logistics Optimization
Facilitates the loading and unloading of grill charcoal, minimizing handling time and reducing operational exportation costs.
✅ Compliance with International Regulations
By reducing contamination risk and improving transport safety, the use of liners supports compliance with EU market regulations.
✅ Waste Reduction
Prevents material loss during transportation, increasing profitability and product efficiency.
🛠 How is a Liner Installed in a Container?
The installation of a liner for bulk cargo is a relatively simple process but requires precision to ensure its effectiveness. The steps are as follows:
-
Fixation: Secured to the interior walls with hooks, straps, or adhesive Velcro to prevent movement.
-
Extension: The liner is deployed, covering the floor, walls, and ceiling of the container.
-
Opening: A designated area is left open to allow for uniform and efficient loading of the Argentine charcoal.
-
Sealing: Once loaded, the liner is hermetically sealed to protect the cargo throughout the journey.
Some liners include ventilation valves to prevent moisture buildup and ensure the charcoal remains dry and spark-free — ideal for those seeking clean-burning and sustainable barbecue solutions.
