At Fachpack, Kiefel GmbH from Freilassing will be focusing on possible applications and new developments in thermoforming with natural fibres. The company will be using machine demonstrations to show how sustainable packaging can be designed and produced from fibre material.
As a complementary option to plastic packaging, the company offers two complementary systems on: The Natureprep-KFP series for high-quality stock preparation of natural fibre pulp and the Natureformer-KFT series machines, which are used to produce a wide variety of fibre products, e.g. trays, cups, technological outer packaging, coffee capsules or flower pots.
Thermoforming with natural fibres as an alternative to plastic
The starting material for fibre products is pulp or paper dissolved in water. This is moulded, pressed, dried and converted into dimensionally stable packaging that can be recycled in the paper cycle or even composted. This means that, depending on the application, they can be an alternative to plastic packaging be.
In its own material and technology centres, the company researches, tests and optimises Boots both conventional and innovative natural fibre materials (including annual plants) as well as coating concepts with the help of test facilities. This results in solutions that from material to machine to the respective customer requirements are customised.
The plastics thermoforming and joining technology company has added the additional business area of Fibre thermoforming internationally last year.
„We are delighted to be able to demonstrate the manufacturing process to our visitors on a demonstration system. We will also be providing an insight into our research and development processes and our machine solutions.“ Uwe Heer, Area Sales Manager Packaging
