FMCG Packaging

In particular, Proseal will highlight how its machines are able to ensure seal quality and maintain product freshness while using the minimum amount of plastic necessary.

In the UK, Europe and North America, Proseal has been the driving force behind the replacement of traditional clam-shell punnets with top film tray sealed varieties, which reduces plastic consumption by up to 45%. With the introduction of non-plastic materials for trays, such as cardboard and the latest recyclable or home compostable materials, plastic usage can be further reduced by as much as 96%.

Jim Orford, K600i Product Manager from Domino Digital Printing Solutions, says: “Covid-19 has really accelerated the growth in e-commerce, a trend which is likely to remain after lockdown restrictions are lifted. Brand owners are also placing more emphasis on personalisation to engage with consumers through loyalty and promotional programmes, and to track their products through the supply chain. This has resulted in some of our label and packaging converter customers reporting a 40-50% increase in the demand for variable data printed labels during the pandemic.”

Three heating zones ensure that the water-soluble film is placed close to the tabs at high speed. After leaving the machine, the tabs are cooled down again by the fan. Thanks to the positioned transfer of the product after shrinking, easy loading into the final packaging is guaranteed. 

Engel Used Machinery is headquartered in Prague, Czech Republic, in what Leopold Praher (pictured), the business’ general manager, calls the largest and fastest growing market (Eastern Europe) for pre-owned injection moulding machines.

Praher has been with Engel for more than 30 years, most recently as sales manager Elast/LIM with responsibility for the company’s global elastomer and thermoset business. He will initially continue in that role also, until a successor is appointed.

It combines fast, high-quality operation with maximum flexibility and uptime. Apart from producing premium quality D-ZIP bags, this easy-to-use machine can produce more than 10 different bag styles for a wide variety of applications such as candy, nuts, frozen fruits and grated cheese.

The GEA SmartPacker CX400 D-Zip design reduces the amount of plastic required for the zipper by approximately 15 percent by eliminating the zipper-material in the cross seal. Additional plastic waste is avoided given no punching is required in making the zipper.

Before, production line used sleeve-type machine with PE film, and gradually changed to L-type sealing machine with POF film material for adjustment. With the increasing market demand, an increase in production capacity is required. Thus, customer needs to purchase more L-type sealing machine. In consequence, It will lead to higher cost of space and labor. Therefore, Benison Consultant team is ready to introduce our Horizontal Flow Wrapper Machine!

Loop commissioned Kemitek (formerly Oleotek), a not-for-profit College Centre for Technology Transfer specialised in the fields of green chemistry and chemical process scale-up, to validate the technology.

The Kemitek team was on site at Loop’s Terrebonne, Quebec facilities for 16 days to verify each step of the technology at Mini-Pilot (25 L reactor) and Pilot scales (6000 L reactor) from feedstock (post-consumer waste PET) to final purified monomers dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) and monoethylene glycol (MEG).

REDUCING GREENHOUSE GASES BY 90 %

Greenhouse gases from industrial applications can be slashed by almost 90% when green technology is implemented in machine and system engineering. A study from the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) carried out on behalf of the VDMA e. V. (Mechanical Engineering Industry Association) produced this conclusion.

Hygienic and safe protective packaging

Our ConsumerBox is perfectly suited for this. How do we know that? It's simple. From our own experience. Because our company gives away self-sewn face masks to every employee worldwide. And so the question also arose for us as to which of our packaging would be the best way to present and hand over the face masks. Our choice quickly fell on our ConsumerBox. After all, as a manufacturer we know the advantages and properties of our products best.
