Siegwerk launches ink that also acts as oxygen barrier
Siegwerk has launched a new white printing ink that also provides an oxygen barrier – an innovation that aims to combine two layers into one.
According to research of the MacArthur Foundation (EMF), merely 14 percent of the plastic packaging used globally makes its way to recycling plants, while 40 percent ends up in landfill and only 1/3 in fragile ecosystems.
With the concluded acquisition of the Italian Pavan Group end of November 2017 the Düsseldorf engineering group GEA purchased a leading supplier of extrusion and milling technology.
At Anuga FoodTec in Cologne, the technology group GEA will present the future of food processing with innovative machines and integrated solutions from March 20 to 23, 2018.
The machines presented by the international technology group GEA at ProSweets in Cologne (Hall 10.1, Stand G-07) are characterized by very high production speeds.
GEA was awarded a complete milk powder processing plant to Open Country Dairy in New Zealand including Modified Atmosphere Packing (MAP) that consistently provides a Residual Oxygen (RO) level in the sealed 25 kilograms bags of just two percent.
It goes without saying that any efficient packaging system needs to include a labeller that can keep pace with even the highest demands.
GEA develops world’s first non-invasive oxygen measurement system for MAP – 100% quality control – GEA’s contribution to the fight against food waste.
