Biopharmaceutical companies are experiencing a sudden explosion in demand for medicine and other medical resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic; but, their ability to supply on demand is simply lacking. This new increase in dependency has forced biopharmaceutical professionals to address a few more concerns that normally occur in the background before they can land in a position to help their customers. One of the main problems revolves around storing and transporting liquids effectively. Unfortunately, even prior to the pandemic, the challenge of effectuating an immaculate system of liquid storage and shipment has been rampant throughout the pharmaceutical industry. Noticing this undesirable circumstance, the founders of Schulte bagtainer systems established their company to design, develop, and distribute a range of storage equipment for biopharmaceutical companies on an international scale.

Schulte bagtainer systems offers its flagship product—bagtainers—to store, ship, and protect liquids in bulk. The bagtainer was developed by marrying the concepts of single-use technology with the resources of biotechnological research. These bagtainers are handmade and fully customisable, with the added benefits of reducing a client’s carbon footprint; a bagtainer is 95 per cent recyclable.

The company offers a series of highly durable, stainless steel bagtainers that are pharma-compliant and contain single-use plastic bags that can hold up to 5000 litres of liquid. The design of each bagtainer allows for a superior surface quality that remains unfazed by external forces, which may otherwise cause scratches and tears. “If a truck transporting our bagtainers was to meet with an accident in transit, all the contents within the bags would be completely safe with no loss of inventory,” adds Florian Mielke, sales account manager of Schulte bagtainer systems.

Furthermore, the company incorporated temperature control equipment in their jacketed wall bagtainers to protect the liquid. Depending on the unique specifications of a client, Schulte bagtainer systems can also fit stirring and circulation devices, weight monitoring sensors, and hoist systems to simplify transportation activities with an easy-to-use interface that connects to monitoring systems.

Schulte bagtainer systems’ dedication toward perfecting the art of liquid storage and transport is further showcased through its additional process equipment services. “We design and manufacture stainless steel bagtainers for bioprocess components, cooling and heating plates, as well as dollies, trolleys, and laboratory benches,” states Mielke. With the rental bagtainer-pool offering, the company eliminates the monetary stress a client may undergo during bulk liquid storage and transport. A client can simply rent the required types of bagtainers for the duration of a project and pay accordingly. Due to the sturdy and recyclable nature of the product, users can reuse a bagtainer, with confidence that no amount of liquid will be wasted.

Schulte bagtainers systems has been continually designing and producing products for biopharmaceutical companies all over the world to help simplify their bioprocessing activities for over 15 years now. And the stainless-steel manufacturer always delivers; if a client in California wished to use a bagtainer, Schulte bagtainer systems has developed a shipping solution that ensures the safe transport of bulk liquid from one corner of the world to another. “Our products also work with single-use bags of all types and brands in the market,” adds Mielke. Moving forward, the company intends to set up a few manufacturing sites while focusing heavily on engineering new bagtainer systems for the future. The current agenda for the company is serving its biopharmaceutical clients with the tools and equipment required to develop a vaccine that will soon fend off the COVID-19 virus.
