In addition, there is the option of Combine carton packs with signature packaging material, in which the polymers used to coat the cardboard are also linked to forest-based materials. A wafer-thin layer of ASI-certified aluminium ensures good barrier properties for products that are sensitive to light and oxygen.
The Combivita carton packs are the first to be produced on the new SIG-filling technology of the next generation. The centrepiece is the SIG Neo filling machine, which is equipped with a Speed of up to 18,000 packs per hour works.
„Food and beverage manufacturers have strict delivery deadlines to meet, production, profitability and sustainability targets to achieve and countless KPIs to fulfil. To meet all these requirements, we have developed a system that is far more flexible and efficient than any other on the market, with the best sterility rates in the industry. Our new filling technology lowers costs and reduces the carbon footprint at the same time.“ Stefan Mergel, Senior Product Manager Equipment at SIG
