The Bielefeld-based speciality paper manufacturer Mitsubishi HiTec Paper and the Wipperfürth-based expert for pouch packaging machines SN Maschinenbau are joining forces to offer safe and at the same time environmentally friendly, flexible paper packaging solutions.
With Barricote offers Mitsubishi HiTec Paper already for several years a Range of recyclable barrier papers for flexible food and non-food packaging. SN Maschinenbau is known worldwide for its horizontal moulding, filling and sealing machines (HFFS) for a wide variety of products, especially foodstuffs. Both companies have now demonstrated this in close cooperation and numerous test runs, that the water-coated Barricote papers can be processed just as reliably as films on the pouch packaging machines from SN Maschinenbau. This eliminates the need for costly retrofitting of the machine technology.
„At SN Maschinenbau, we were able to successfully test our Barricote grades Liner MG, Liner MGO, BAG WG and BAG WGOM in use as stand-up pouches. All barrier papers delivered a similar performance in the process flow as established plastic materials. Our papers not only provide barriers against water vapour, grease, oil, oxygen and aroma, but also against mineral oil migration. They can also be recycled in the waste paper cycle, are made from renewable raw materials, can be heat-sealed and are FSC and PEFC certified.“

„As one of the world's leading manufacturers of horizontal pouch packaging machines, we are delighted with the excellent cooperation with Mitsubishi HiTec Paper and the positive test results. This proves once again that the majority of today's sustainable mono packaging materials can be processed reliably without complex adaptation of the machine technology. Furthermore, together with Mitsubishi HiTec Paper, we offer a solution for the increasing demand for paper packaging on the market,“ says Reiner Müller, Director Business Development & Global Accounts at SN Maschinenbau.
