CMTS with Eco-Cut

 

Most cup, tub and tray sealing machinery currently available generate an inordinate amount of excess film that needs to be handled, discarded and ultimately recycled at a significant cost in terms of money, labor and energy.

The unique design of the S-30 and CMTS Eco-Cut® systems by ORICS eliminate this film waste and have proven to be a perfect fit for leading processors in the food packaging industry. ORICS’ Eco-Cut® film feeder technology cuts the film in between each container, leaving no wasted film and potentially saving the facility $35,000, or more, per year in material costs alone. Further savings include reduced labor costs and downtime by eliminating the need to handle and discard excess film.

What’s more, Eco-Cut® also lessens a producer’s carbon footprint and environmental impact by virtually eliminating discarded material. By reducing the material cost for the ongoing purchase of lidding material (film), an Eco-Cut® system practically pays for itself; turning environmentally-conscious eco-friendly design into verifiable savings.

ORICS Helps Nestlé Beneful to receive 2007 Pack Expo Selects Award

ORICS Capper helps Nestlé Beneful receive Pack Expo Selects award

The dog food package for Nestlé Beneful Prepared Meals was selected the winner in the inaugural Pack Expo Selects™ program by packaging professionals attending last November’s Pack Expo Intl., which is sponsored by the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (www.pmmi.org).

The package incorporates barriers for extended shelf stability, withstands the high temperature and pressure of the retort process, and appeals to pet owners. Thermoformed of a proprietary, clear, seven-layer polypropylene/ethylene vinyl alcohol coextrusion, the package has an inner seal to lock out air and other elements to protect nutrients. A full-body, heat-shrink sleeve label includes windows so consumers can view the product inside. A snap-on lid makes it easy for consumers to reseal and refrigerate any leftovers for future use.

The package is used for eight 10-oz varieties that sell for $1.59 each in about 50% of the U.S., primarily in the East, South, and Southwest. Shelf life is one year from the date of production. Once opened, product should be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.

A PMMI press release noted that supplier/exhibitors contributing to the Beneful package include … ORICS Industries, Inc. (www.orics.com). Nestlé did not comment on suppliers for proprietary reasons.
