Self supporting closed flexible tank

Also known as a bladder tank, pillow tank or flexi-bag, the self-supporting closed flexible tank is a flexible storage solution with lots of functionalities and advantages, both practical and economical.

Labaronne-Citaf self-supporting closed flexible tanks

Closed, self-supporting flexible tanks are liquid storage tanks, which, when filled, look like large pillows. This is also why they are sometimes referred to as “pillow tanks”.

Labaronne-Citaf:
manufacturer and inventor of high-resistance flexible storage

The manufacturing process for our tanks consists of assembling strips of technical fabrics using high frequency welding. These fabrics are composed of a polyester weft (a frame guaranteeing their strength), coated with PVC or PU and protected with an anti-UV treatment on both sides.

Inventor of the flexible tank, our manufacturing methods and choices have evolved with the sole aim of offering the best storage for your liquids. We offer you suitable fabrics, which we select and develop with French and European companies, according to the technical characteristics of each liquid. These fabrics are also certified to comply with the regulations in force in the sectors with which we work, and guarantee the longevity of your flexible storage.

Raw water storage

The water tanks are designed and equipped to collect and store raw, non-potable water, such as rainwater. This resource can then be used in many ways: for watering livestock, irrigating soils, watering plantations, washing agricultural equipment, but it may also be necessary on drilling or mining sites, on construction sites or industrial sites.

Drinking water storage

Our drinking water tanks ensure the storage of spring water, temporary storage during the maintenance of a water tower, the supply of drinking water to isolated sites, military bases, camps, etc. They are mainly intended for humanitarian organisations for their emergency and development missions. A long-standing player in the field, Labaronne-Citaf has been supporting the main NGOs for over 30 years by providing them with a range of robust, transportable and easily projectable products.

Storage of agricultural, viticultural and industrial effluents

Our flexible tanks designed for the storage of effluents, whether they are used to store agricultural and viticultural effluents or to store industrial effluents, mean that agricultural and industrial waste are not discharged into a natural environment, thereby preventing runoff and infiltration of this waste in the soil. Our storage tanks can be connected to a brewing system or equipped with a gas collector, allowing the capture of biogas from anaerobic fermentation of methanogenic effluents.
