A wringing device for expelling materials from a flexible container. In at least one embodiment, the wringing device may be used to expel fluids from a flexible container contained within an intermediate bulk container (IBC). The wringing device may be formed from a support frame and a carriage movably coupled to the support frame for supporting components of the wringing device, The wringing device may include a nip shaft coupled to the carriage and a movable nip shaft movably coupled to the carriage proximate to the nip shaft. The movable nip shaft may be biased toward the nip shaft with a biasing device. The wringing device may include one or more drive devices for driving a take-up shaft, a wringing device transport system, or the carriage, or any combination thereof. The wringing device may also include a transport vehicle for transporting the wringing device between different intermediate bulk containers.
