The yoghurt pot that Netstal<\/a> on the Fakuma<\/a> is light as a feather, has a filling volume of 200 g, a part weight of 5.4 g and a wall thickness of 0.3 mm. As the cup and label are 100 per cent polypropylene (PP), the packaging is easy to recycle<\/strong>. In contrast to a conventional in-mould label, the label detaches during the mechanical recycling process. The PP stream is not affected because printing ink particles are reliably separated from the pure PP.<\/p>

With the injection compression moulding process (ICM for short) reduces the weight of the cup by 34 per cent<\/strong>. The combination of the ICM process and product optimisation also results in a 27 percent reduction in packaging volume.<\/p>

The sustainable thin-wall packaging for dairy products is produced in 4 cavities with a cycle time of 2.7 seconds in an Elion 1750 with hybrid injection unit. The Netstal machine operates with reliable performance and leading energy efficiency. With the The optional adaptive system pressure reduction has enabled the company to further optimise the efficiency of its hybrid machines<\/strong>. In automatic mode, the control system determines the optimum point at all times and adjusts the pressure in the hydraulic system accordingly. Depending on the application, the energy consumption for providing the required system pressure is minimised.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The packaging application optimised for recycling was developed in Collaboration with high-end system partners Glaroform, Beck Automation, SABIC, IPB Printing, motan, Regloplas and Uniform Colour<\/strong>. The development partner from the food industry is Emmi AG, the largest bottler of dairy products. The packaging specifications were optimised with and under the guidance of Emmi's requirements. The aim was to optimise the the previous appearance of the cup can be retained<\/strong>.<\/p>
