From Thomas Fischer - Over the last years the stand-up-pouch (SUP) could gain significant market share in flexible packaging.
For many liquid, pasty and fibrous filling goods, but also for dry, powdery products the SUP is the ideal package style.
Increasing demands for higher output of SUP filling lines and thus reduced cycle times for dosing the product and sealing the top seam, required new strategies and technologies for safe production of tightly sealed top seams at the end of the packaging process.
It is recognized that ultrasonic sealing technology made a huge contribution to solving this challenge over the last 2 decades.
Out of the niche this sealing method became a standard solution for multiple applications within the packaging industry – the required heat to melt down the sealing layer is generated directly within the sealing layer by high frequent mechanical vibrations.
From SUP for beverages, sauerkraut to ready-to-eat-meals and wet pet food – the demand for robust and safe sealing despite of product residues being present in the seam area can be realized with ultrasonic.
For years hundreds of SUP filling and closing lines with thousands of ultrasonic sealing stations in multi-shift operations produce continuously the highest quality at low operation and maintenance costs.
Future film materials with no aluminum, partially based only on one type of polymer, will introduce challenges to the sealing technologies which can already be solved by ultrasonics as of today.
Robust sealing processes and lowest leaker ratios are the result of an intelligent digital ultrasonic generator in combination with durable sealing tools that grant repeatable sealing quality also under varying production conditions.

From Arno Melchior - If FMCGs change a packaging format they have many things to take into consideration. On one hand they need to fulfil the requirements and desires of consumers and they have to assess whether there will be a return on investment. On the other hand it is important to consider all cost factors. It star...

The presentation looks into all these details and tries to find the optimized packaging format

From Ir. Alexander van Puijenbroek - Since a long time, it is the wish of all food and pharma packing companies as well as packaging manufacturers, to get 100% control over the seal quality and to avoid leaking packs. Especially the process of spout inserting during the pouch manufacturing needs special care and attention. Micro-channe... [Show more]ls need to be wiped out! So far an in-line 100% non-destructive inspection existed only at low speed, batch-wise or with low resolution. A brand new inspection technology based on infrared, offers the expected high speed, high sensitive solution. To protect yourself against claims and your customer against inferior products, the QipCam can be the most suitable inspection system. This presentation will show a brief overview of the major different existing pack integrety inspection technologies and explain in detail the capabilities of the new infrared inspection equipment. Customer examples and a live demonstration will show the functionality

[Show more]ith solvent based adhesive but the landscape is beginning to change, latest developments in printing ink technology now opens the door for flexo printing – meaning cost competitive smaller print runs are now possible. Going forward developments in adhesive technology will also open the door for the possible use of solvent free or even water based adhesive technology which will in turn increase the options and improve the competitive situation for the printer convertor. A little further away but most definitely on the horizon is digital printing for high performance pouches, with the appropriate support products – Primers & Adhesives – it will soon be possible to think about ultra small run sizes and even personalization of this fast growing, but technically demanding area of the packaging market.�
