The system consisted of 4 processing lines for cherries, of the 4 Engler de-stalking machines, however, only one is still for sale. But all four FERRUM pitting machines.

After pitting, the cherries were placed in the tinplate cans using a special belt weigher. The infusion was dosed using a six-digit vacuum filling machine, make Engler.

The pitting machines are all equipped with pitting plates for cherries 24/12 mm.

Europe has a leg up on the U.S. in a couple of regards when it comes to recycling, namely facilities capable of recycling more types of materials and a cumulative population that, in general, recycles more. But the global effort from companies to reduce waste and encourage recycling is making a worldwide difference, and they’re doing it, in part, by making recycling more convenient.

Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, has announced the expansion of its AmFiber™ Performance Paper packaging range in Europe to include heat seal sachets for dry culinary and beverage applications, such as instant coffee, drink powders, spices, seasonings, and dried soups.

ADVANTAGES ASSOCIATED WITH ADHESIVE-CONSUMPTION MONITORING
Finding out the accumulated or total adhesive consumption of each of the products manufactured, enables you to analyse, assess and take decisions to optimise production. There are three essential production advantages:

Logistical control of the adhesive stock, enabling the calculation of weekly, monthly etc., consumption
Improved quality of processes, being able to detect and correct adhesive dispensing deviations
Adhesive saving thanks to real-time adhesive adjustments applied to the product.

All rotary feeders in this series already comply with the new Machinery Directive 2000/42 / EC that has been in force since December 29, 2009. In the risk assessment required therein, the microbiological, physical and chemical requirements were also taken into account. The GMP / FDA requirements and DIN EN 1672-2 are met with measures such as product-contact (inside) ground, surface quality according to the desired Ra value, all welds free of gaps, optionally electropolished, free of dead spaces.

What are the challenges with secondary packaging for cartons?

Shelf space is increasingly limited to the manufacturers.  Their carton sizes are required to stay to a minimum in order to fit in their allotted space, so product fit is generally tight.  Bag fills now have a higher volume in each bag making for a tighter fit in the cartons they are then to be packed into.  Product placement and proper pack pattern is more critical than ever as the cartons are often used in the product shelf display.

German oral hygiene brand Paperdent has partnered with Elopak to launch its range of vegan, alcohol-free mouthwash in cartons made from sustainably sourced paperboard.

Paperdent is the first mouthwash brand to package its product in Elopak's D-PAK™ cartons, reducing the plastic content of its packaging by over 80% compared to conventional packaging for mouthwash.

The 500 ml D-PAK™ carton is made with paperboard from responsibly managed forests and is fully recyclable, as well as carbon neutral.
