“Vegetable oils and fats are essential ingredients in the food industry. It is very important that these products are transported correctly. At Wemmers, I take care of this with my co-workers. We are committed to food-safe transport, day in, day out.”
Do you want to have specialty blends transported? Organic (certified) oil? Or conventional vegetable oils or fats?
Wemmers Tanktransport is a logistics service provider with a specialism in liquid foodstuff transport. You can use our services for certified transport including:
- Rapeseed oil
- Coconut oil
- Sunflower oil
- Palm oil
- Stearin
Using the right vehicles and material is essential when transporting liquid foodstuffs. Liquid bulk transport of vegetable oils and fats is carried out using our modern trucks and tank trailers.
Our drivers specialise in compliance with the highest safety and quality standards and drive an up-to-date fleet designed to transport liquid foodstuffs. So we can guarantee food safe transport, each and every load. Intermodal transport is also possible.
Strict regulations apply to the transport of vegetable oils and fats. Logically, as these products are used as raw materials in the food industry.
So for us, only the best is good enough. The various certification we hold demonstrates our commitment to quality.
As a producer, you need the assurance that we will load at the agreed times. As a customer, you need to depend on the timely delivery of your shipment of vegetable oils and fats. 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. If you wish, you can also follow the load real-time (track and trace) via your Transport Management System (TMS) and the GPS data of our trucks.
To safeguard their quality, every product must be transported below a specific temperature. Our tank trailers are comprehensively equipped to transport liquid foodstuffs under the best conditions. Tank trailers can be heated to ensure that vegetable oils and fats are transported at precisely the right temperature.
Our tank trailers have multiple compartments which enables us to transport small batches of product individually. A large number of tank trailers are equipped with a pump so even viscous liquid products can be unloaded without any problems. We also have special tippers to minimise any residues of these high viscosity liquids.
As a producer, you want to focus on the production process. We're happy to support you with On Site Operations.
