Tank transport of sweeteners
Glucose, fructose and other sweeteners are indispensable ingredients in many of the sweet products we eat and drink, such as biscuits, confectionery and (sports) drinks. Special foods for babies and hospital patients also contain sweeteners, and The pharmaceutical industry also uses sweeteners such as glucose and dextrose. Sweeteners must be transported safely and competently. Wemmers specialises in the tank transport of liquid sweeteners to customers throughout Europe.

Liquid bulk transport is carried out using our modern trucks and tank trailers. Our employees are certified in compliance with the highest safety and quality standards and drive an up-to-date fleet. So we can guarantee food safe transport, each and every load.
Thanks to our extensive transport network, we can serve every destination in Europe. Intermodal transport is also possible. Our strength is our expertise and experience. We have been a pioneer in the transport of liquid foodstuffs since 1948. We deliver accurately, on time and for a competitive rate.
Meet Chris Dehaeck, our sweeteners specialist
“As a foodstuffs driver, I am fully aware of the significance of my responsibilities. I transport products that are ultimately ingredients for food and drinks. Every driver fully intends to deliver a load safely to its destination, but when transporting sweeteners, it is extra important that this is done correctly. My colleagues and I are dedicated to ensuring this happens, day in, day out.
To safeguard their quality, sweeteners must be transported at a specific temperature.
Our tank trailers and tank containers can be heated to ensure that glucose or dextrose, for example, are transported at precisely the right temperature.
We continually monitor the temperature during loading, transport and unloading. This gives our clients the guarantee that glucose is transported in our insulated tank trailers and containers under the best possible conditions.
As a customer, you need to depend on the timely delivery of your shipment of glucose or fructose. As a producer, you need the assurance that we will load and deliver at the agreed times. To provide those guarantees, we monitor our trailers in real time.
This enables us to inform you about the precise arrival time of a trailer and notify you proactively if there are any unexpected changes. Other options include Track and Trace via your Transport Management System (TMS) and GPS data.
Food safe transport is vital. Wemmers Tanktransport operates according to the highest HACCP, SQAS and ATCN standards and is ISO 22000 certified. The various certification we hold demonstrates our commitment to quality.
Tank containers are cleaned at our modern cleaning stations in Zaandam and Bleskensgraaf.
We have been awarded EFTCO Food Assessment: a European certificate that approves our tank cleaning station in compliance with the standards for food products. Wemmers Tanktransport is also part of a network of certified cleaning installations in the Netherlands: the Association of Tank Cleaning Companies Netherlands (ATCN).
As a producer, you want to be able to focus on the production process. Wemmers can provide a full service experience with On Site Operations.

The benefits of On Site Operations:
- You can fully focus on the production process.

That we can also operate kosher, halal and sterile cleaning programmes, among others, at our cleaning stations? This enables each tank trailer to be cleaned according to customer specifications.
