Benefits of the
Acrosoma® panels
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Excellent insulation
- Uniform quality due to consistent, continuous production
- High impact resistance
- Durability and reparability
- No delamination
This composite container has undeniable advantages. The empty weight is
2,200 kg (4850 lbs), compared to 3,800
kg (8,377.5 lbs) for a steel container.
The food-grade panels are insulating
and food-grade, meaning that there
is no need for an interior liner: the
sugar can be in direct contact with the
panel made of vinylester resin. There
is a useful carrying capacity of 33,800
kg (76,720.9 lbs), for a total weight of
only 36,000 kg (79,366.4 lbs). The new
container has obtained the approval of
the International Union of Railways
(UIC), which is indispensable for rail
transport.
Strong potential
Because the panels are made using a
continuous production process and
the construction of the container itself
is relatively simple, the company can
produce at a rate of one container per
day.
Consequently, the container can be
sold at a competitive price that is ac-
VDL Fibertech Industries composite containers reduce weight by more than 1000 kg.ROI within 3 ½ years.

cepted by the market. Last November,
the first 40 containers were delivered,
and VDL Fibertech Industries is
counting on some 250+ deliveries
per year. The theoretical production
capacity is 500 containers per year.
This new solution from VDL constitutes a veritable break-through for the
rail freight market.
