Double and triple bagging bulk meat containers results in high levels of packaging waste. CHEP Pallecon Solutions’ new liner ensures food safety with a single bag.
The bags are produced with multiple, ultra-thin layers within a film that is capable of exceeding the performance characteristics of much thicker mono films; in strength, puncture and flex crack resistance. The new film’s co-extruded technology uses multiple extruders to melt and deliver different high quality resin materials in a single extrusion head.
This new process creates food safety with reduced costs and waste reduction compared to multiple bagging with the commonly-used monolayer films in Australia & New Zealand.
CHEP Pallecon Solutions business manager Peter Gaddes stated, “We are delighted to be the first company to offer customers the benefits of a liner bag with blue tint on all layers. Our choice to also use co-extruded films in Australia & New Zealand is based on the frequent requests we receive from our bulk meat customers around the world.”
“The liners use 3-layer, co-extruded film and will help us provide not only a new tinted liner, but one that is far superior to existing liners in the market place. The blue tint has been tested independently to ensure it does not migrate into the customers’ product,” Gaddes confirmed.
The process uses 100% virgin food grade resins and the open top liner bags are FDA, IMS, Kosher & Halal food compliant.
The new liner range complements CHEP’s range of integrated solutions available for food applications and may be used in conjunction with its existing range of Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) rental solutions.
