Pöppelmann: Hygienic packaging in universal design

Modern packaging must meet many requirements and fulfil certain functions depending on the intended use and industry, such as simple dosing. At Fakuma 2017, Pöppelmann FAMAC® will be presenting series and customised solutions in the area of shrink-wrapped spouts, among other things.

Modern packaging must meet many requirements and fulfil certain functions depending on the intended use and industry, such as easy dosing, child safety or senior-friendliness. At Fakuma 2017, Pöppelmann FAMAC® will be presenting innovative series and customised solutions in the field of shrink-wrapped spouts, among other things.

Pöppelmann FAMAC® develops and produces technical functional parts and modern packaging for a wide range of industries. The experienced packaging developers work according to the Universal design conceptThis means that products should be designed with the characteristics and needs of the user in mind, so that they can be used by as many people as possible without further adaptation or specialisation. Products with a universal design such as the PouchBooster® with weld-in spout are characterised by a sensible and intelligent design, are intuitive to use and error-tolerant.

In order to meet customers' high expectations of ergonomic packaging design, the plastics specialists from Lohne are constantly optimising the development and production of shrink-wrapped spouts. The PouchBooster® has developed over the past few years into a comprehensive solution that fulfils all requirements. The Weld-in pourer has become a central element of the bag and an indispensable component for consumers.

Innovative dosing system for air-free, hygienic dispensing systems

Pöppelmann FAMAC offers weld-in spouts® also available as a customised solution for different areas of application - e.g. for air-free multiple dispensing of demanding hygiene products. Together with Schülke + Mayr GmbH from Norderstedt, Pöppelmann developed FAMAC® an uncomplicated one, Hygienic packaging concept. The solution prevents air from entering the packaging during product removal or residue from forming on the lid, as is often the case with existing solutions. „We wanted a simple and safe dispensing system with good residual emptying, which is suitable for sterilisation and can be operated with one hand without contaminating the product,“ explains Lars Teutenberg from Schülke. The experts from Pöppelmann FAMAC® The company then designed a weld-in spout that is closed by a valve and only opens when pressure is applied to the actuating element. This allows the product to be removed without air and retains its hygienic status for the duration of use. The solution is also Can be used across all industries, for example as a portioner for sauces or ketchup in the catering trade.

Rapid prototyping for fast development

Especially for the development of customised special solutions, the use of Rapid prototyping particularly important. Modern in-house additive manufacturing enables Pöppelmann FAMAC®, to create prototypes in the shortest possible time. „Modern, marketable and future-proof packaging in line with universal design criteria requires a long development phase. With our prototypes in the 3D printing process, we accelerate the coordination with our customers and thus save time and costs,“ explains Engelbert Rechtien from Pöppelmann FAMAC®.

The FAMAC®-Working method: efficient and safe

In the development and production of technically sophisticated functional parts and assemblies, Pöppelmann FAMAC® We attach particular importance to the highest quality and economically optimised solutions. A Certified quality management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 and 13485:2010 as well as the certified hygiene management system HACCP offer customers additional security. At the same time, the FAMAC®-project managers know what else is important: short development times, targeted product optimisation and reliable process planning ensure a decisive competitive advantage. For maximum cleanliness, Pöppelmann FAMAC® The new production line also makes it possible to produce particularly sensitive injection moulded parts under clean room conditions.
