Liquid transfer: key facts
PENPET Logistics transfers and fills liquids on behalf of customers. All common routes between tanker, IBC, drum and canister or small container are possible – in both directions. We handle non-flammable liquids only. Water-hazardous liquids are handled in Bobzin within the site's WGK approval.
From which container to which
| From | To | Typical reason |
|---|---|---|
| Tanker | IBC | Splitting bulk loads for customers without a tank |
| Tanker | Drums | Smaller delivery units, export in packages |
| IBC | Drums | Receiver needs smaller containers |
| Drums | IBC | Consolidating residues, saving space |
| IBC or drum | Canisters and small containers | Samples, small customers, trade goods |
| IBCs or drums | Tanker | Combining packages for a bulk delivery |
How a transfer job works
- Check: you send the safety data sheet, quantity and source and target containers. We check whether and at which site the substance may be handled.
- Delivery: tankers Mon–Fri 07:00–12:00, packaged goods during goods receipt hours.
- Transfer: into the agreed containers; whether you supply them or we source them is agreed in the quote.
- Weighing: tankers and loads on the truck scale in Bobzin.
- Labelling and palletising: to your specification, packaging material on site.
- Next step: storage with us or dispatch.
Which liquids we do not handle
We do not transfer combustible or flammable liquids. The safety data sheet is decisive; if in doubt, we check the substance before you place the order and give you a binding answer.
Water-hazardous liquids
For water-hazardous substances the WGK approval of the Bobzin site applies, see hazardous materials & WGK storage. Such transfers take place there, not in Wittenburg.
Why transfer in the warehouse
Storage, transfer, weighing and dispatch stay in one hand. That saves the trip to a separate toll filler and another interface in the supply chain.
What we need for a quote
- Substance and safety data sheet
- Source and target container with fill quantity
- Total quantity and time window
- Special requirements for containers or labelling
We also repack solids: big bag repacking and bagging.
