Many supermarkets are now dispensing with flowpacks or plastic trays for packing fruit and vegetables. Banding is a modern alternative. Kranenburg-based supplier project S&P even offers banding material made of paper. At FachPack 2019, it presented a new banding machine for this purpose. The innovation: the system has an interchangeable frame.<\/p>\n

Nearly all retail chains are pursuing the goal of reducing the proportion of plastic in their packaging and minimising the use of plastic. Recyclability<\/strong> of packaging. The discounter Aldi with its \u201epackaging mission\u201c, for example, aims to reduce the amount of packaging it uses by 30 per cent by 2025. Rewe, on the other hand, is pursuing a packaging strategy under the motto \u201eAvoid, reduce, improve\u201c. The aim is to use up to 20 per cent less plastic by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

In the fruit and vegetable department in particular, it is relatively easy to Plastic trays<\/strong> or Flowpacks<\/strong> can be saved. Banding is a resource-saving alternative. Pointed peppers, bananas, celery, rhubarb and many other products can be presented in this way.
\n\u201eBanderoles have a dual function,\u201c explains Andr\u00e9 Vois, Product Key Account Manager at Banding machine manufacturer<\/strong> \u201eproject Service & Produktion GmbH\u201c (project S&P<\/strong>). The Kranenburg-based company therefore equips almost all major supermarket chains with banding materials and banding machines. The latest product development hit the bull's eye. According to Vois, the \u201eProband V 1000\u201c model is the first banding machine with an interchangeable frame that can process all band widths from 25 to 60 millimetres and in different band thicknesses from 35 to 210 micrometres. The innovation was presented at the FachPack 2019<\/strong> and has been delivered to customers since October 2019. \u201eThe interest in the new Proband V 1000<\/strong> was greater than we had expected,\u201c summarises Vois.<\/p>

Plastic straps are also processed<\/h2>\n

The Proband V 1000 processes conventional plastic tapes, but is particularly optimised for processing paper tapes, among other things. These form another highlight in the product portfolio of project S&P: for some time now, the company, which was founded in 2001, has been offering its customers Banderoles suitable for foodstuffs<\/strong> made of paper with integrated sealing capability. This paper can be added to the Paper recycling cycle<\/strong> because its plastic content is less than five per cent. This is exceptional, says Andr\u00e9 Vois. At project S&P, the banding material is also custom-printed with supplier codes, packaging data, product weight and other information according to customer requirements.<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9 Vois emphasises that the compact, cost-effective system was developed with ease of use in mind. Because Banding<\/strong> is with the Supplier companies<\/strong> often still manual labour. Employees place the products to be processed into the machine, start the process and remove the finished packaged bundle. This calls for an easy-to-understand operating concept and the ability to quickly convert the systems for processing other products.<\/p>
