Catering to a range of needs, from dairy effluent and horticultural water storage to industrial waste management, Flexi Tanks NZ is proving its versatility and reliability, setting the stage for a cleaner, more productive agricultural sector in New Zealand. For dairy farmers, Flexi Tanks offers a transformative approach with a fully enclosed design that blocks rainwater infiltration, significantly reducing the storage space required. “it’s an efficient fix for a rainy location,” says Flexi Tanks NZ general manager Andre Meier. “With Flexi Tanks, you’re not collecting rain, so your storage remains efficient and manageable. “ This adaptability is a standout feature. “Our tanks fit seamlessly into different farm layouts and needs,” Andre says. Some farmers rely on them as their primary effluent storage, while others pair them with existing ponds to manage excess rainwater and prevent overflows. In resourceful setups, excess water is stored in the tanks through wet seasons and later redirected to ponds for irrigation during summer, enhancing both effluent management and nutrient recycling. Flexi Tanks delivers substantial financial advantages. With low upfront costs, minimal site preparation, and straightforward installation, it’s a hassle-free option for farmers. A 25% depreciation rate further sweetens the deal. “When tax time rolls around, farmers can keep more money in their pockets.” Beyond the bottom line, Flexi Tanks champions sustainable farming. By securely containing effluent, the system prevents waterway contamination and enables precise nutrient application during dry spells. “Come summer when it’s dry, having stored effluent for irrigation is a huge positive,” Andre says. “It’s good for the environment, good for irrigation, and good for pasture growth.” Quality is at the core of Flexi Tanks NZ’s offerings. Backed by a full 10-year warranty, the tanks are UV-stabilised, corrosion-resistant, and engineered to handle effluent’s varying pH levels. Manufactured to ISO 9001 standards with high-frequency welding technology, these tanks promise durability and top-tier performance, even in harsh conditions. As New Zealand’s premier supplier of dairy effluent, leachate, and water storage bladder tanks, Flexi Tanks is committed to driving industry-wide change. “We want to lead the industry, offering better installations and consistent advice so farmers don’t run into regulatory issues down the line,” Andre says. By combining innovation with practicality, Flexi Tanks is not just meeting today’s challenges, it’s shaping a more sustainable tomorrow for agriculture. Paranui Organics.
