As is so often the case, the idea for the development of a new sterile reusable bulk packaging resulted from the specific requirements of an interested party: in this case for the transport of chocolate chips. The project was realised in collaboration between Intermediate Bulk Alliance GmbH (IBA) and IBC specialist Werit.
Liquid Concept GmbH & Co. KG is the second largest lessor of reusable stainless steel IBCs in Europe and has a very strong presence in the food market. The subsidiary Intermediate Bulk Alliance GmbH (IBA) focusses on the food industry. Development of aseptic disposable packaging for the transport of liquid foodstuffs. So far, 250 to 1,000 litre inliners have been developed primarily for various collapsible containers. The forces generated by the filler on the disposable film are absorbed by the container and the outer packaging.
When a suitable packaging solution was sought for the transport of chocolate chips, the challenge was accepted and a new packaging solution was developed. Innovative, sterile large reusable packaging designed.
Working together
First of all, IBA developed an innovative, aseptic flexbag with a woven outer bag and an inliner with an outer opaque metallised PET film and a thermolaminated inner layer made of PE and PA. Werit contributes its specific expertise to the optimally fitting tubular steel frame.
This close collaboration has resulted in the NUTRiline aseptic, a Sterile reusable packaging, that convinces. It can be used for both low and high viscosity liquids.
Detailed information about the Development stages and the special features of the new reusable IBC for foodstuffs says Sascha Siebel, an expert in bulk food packaging and minority shareholder of IBA since 2020.
