Enplater has extended its range of ready to recycle products con materiales ready to recycle: FullPE, FullPP, FullPET, FullPaper, compostables y biobased. In order to offer solutions to the new European guidelines the Enplater managing board has stablish as main target increasing the Green line range to achieve the 100% of its products to encourage the circular economy and compostability. Enplater is working beside its customers to reduce the environmental impact of the flexible packaging used in the food industry. The properties of this kind of packaging are the key elements to improve shelf life and the preservation of the organoleptic characteristics. These products avoid wastes that would suppose a very high ecological impact. The main Enplater guideline is to personalize all the products. The process is based on the requirements stablished by the customers, in order to change from conventional flexible packaging to the Enplater green line gradually. Both Enplater production plants are part of the environment care project. The plants have stablished a protocol to recover wastes and energy generates during the manufacturing process.

Sustainability and making it easy for recyclers is one of the main goals for Enplater Group. As pioneers in flexible packaging, Enplater Group, invest in continuous innovation. Enplater Group have launched monomaterial flexible packaging PE with ultra-high barrier properties to O2, H2O and light flexible packaging made with just polyethylene. It’s a perfect solution to products sensible to these elements, as coffee, cheese, and chocolates between others. Enplater Group certifications and experience in rotogravure and digital printing offers to its customers a wide range of products and excellence service.

Enplater Full PP retortpack is a mono-material flexible packaging resistant to retort processes. It replaces current multilayer structures, giving the chance to use ready-to-recycle films for food products that needs high thermal resistance for processes like sterilization and retort.

Enplater Group is driving the circularity of rigid film with its APET made from 100% recycled material. The production process is certified by EFSA, making the plastic material produced suitable for food contact. Enplater Group continues to invest in offering a range of products based on its commitment to sustainability. Following its recent investment in the construction of a new rigid packaging extrusion center in the province of Barcelona, it has the most innovative technology at an international level to offer the highest quality standards with food certification, EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) and BRC IoP (British Retail Consumption) for 100% recycled content APET rigid material and thicknesses ranging from 150 to 1200 microns suitable for thermoforming, with different properties on demand, such as barrier, sealing and peelability.

The CHIP packaging machine is a packaging machine similar to the Basic model to which a bucket elevator has been attached. The CHIP packaging machine has identical features to the basic packaging machine, but it is designed to work with products that do not come out well from the hopper when it is full, for example potato chips, certain types of pasta or some types of frozen products of size big. Functioning: It has a lower hopper in which the product is released by the movement of the buckets, which lift it to another smaller upper hopper equipped with a level detector, which favors the maintenance of a uniform layer of product to achieve a series of heavy uniforms. Finally, a scale with a double outlet gate has been installed as standard, which discharges the product in two stages to prevent it from accumulating when it is released into the container. Although it is designed to work with products that are difficult to pack in the Basic packer model, it can also work with all those used in it, providing work comfort by not having to lift the product to the upper hopper by hand.

Designed to work with pre-formed bags, multiple stations and in confined spaces

The Basic packaging machine is a semi-automatic machine that works preparing doses by weighing indirectly. The doses are prepared in a hopper attached to the scale and are deposited in the container at once after pressing a pedal ready for unloading. The Basic semi-automatic packaging machine is designed in such a way that it is impossible to unload before the desired weight is reached. It never unloads less than the programmed weights Functioning: An operator sitting or standing in front of the machine places the container (bag, can or box) in the discharge mouth and fills it with the required dose when you press the discharge pedal. By releasing the pedal, the machine automatically begins the production of a new dose, at which time we take the opportunity to seal the bag and place another in the discharge mouth. The Basic packaging machine has an upper hopper to house the product to be packaged. It has a capacity of 125 liters and can prepare doses from about 10 grams to 10 kilos (depending on the specific weight of the product). Average production is around 8 or 16 doses per minute (depending on the characteristics of the product, the required weight and the skill of the operator). The Basic packaging machine is perfect for working with small or medium-sized granulated products such as: legumes, cereals, nuts, pills, capsules, chocolates, candies, coffee, chopped vegetables, frozen, small bakery pieces, slices, etc. At Envasadoras Panimec we have a bucket or pallet elevator adaptable to this machine.

The ECO packaging machine is a semi-automatic packaging machine that works preparing doses directly by weighing. The product is gradually deposited in the container until the desired dose is completed. This machine pats directly what is inside the container . Functioning: An operator in front of the machine places the container (bag, can or box) and presses a pedal. The machine starts unloading the product until reaching the desired dose, at which point it stops. The ECO packaging machine does not stop unloading the product until the weight of the desired dose is reached. It has a hopper to house the product to be packaged with a capacity of 110 liters , and can prepare doses from about 15 grams to 10 Kilos (depending on the characteristics of the product). The average production is around 8 or 16 doses per minute when cans or boxes are packaged, and between 3 and 6 doses per minute when bags are packaged (depending on the characteristics of the product, the required weight, and the skill of the operator. ). The ECO packaging machine is specially designed to work with powdered, granulated and leafy products , such as spices, fertilizers, fertilizers, plant protection products, food additives, among others. At Envasadoras Panimec we have simple adaptable aspiration equipment when working with products that produce dust when entering the container.

Designed for pre-formed bags, with a multi-station carousel system and in confined spaces.
