Jandi’s Industrial Co., Ltd.
Jandi’s Industrial Co., Ltd. will showcase their
manufacturing line for biodegradable T-shirt bags, where
the steps of processing raw materials, film blowing,
printing, bag manufacturing, recycling of residual
materials and automatic packing all take place in a
single production line, reducing workspace, managing
costs, and human errors. As hot films are immediately
processed, the sealing quality is satisfactory. The
residual materials are recycled right away as well. Green
materials are an excellent option because they are clean,
simple, economical and energy-saving, resulting in lower
carbon emission and carbon footprint. The solution can
be used for single-layer blown films, high/low-density
polyethylene, biodegradable raw materials or ABA threelayer
blown films.

HEXPOL TPE
Epseal thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) of Hexpol TPE
are custom-made liner sealing compounds for the food
and beverage industry. They are PVC free and conform
to FDA and EU regulations. They offer consistent short,
medium and long term opening torques, which provides
consumer-friendly functionality, making it easier for
children and senior citizens to open the bottles. Each
individual sealing packaging system has extraordinary
sealing property, great elasticity, and necessary flexibility
and is shown in an organoleptic evaluation with the
capability to preserve the original taste. The solution can
be used for carbonated soft drinks, beer, wine, juice and
milk-based beverages, and still performs satisfactorily
after cold fill, hot fill, pasteurization or sterilization
processes.
Dryflex Green is a family of biobased thermoplastic
elastomer (TPE) compounds. A range of options has
been developed containing raw materials from renewable
resources that have been responsibly grown. Raw
materials can be produced from various renewable
sources, these include products and by-products from
agricultural that are rich in carbohydrates, especially
saccharides such as grain, sugar beet, sugar cane,
etc. The biobased content could derive from different
raw materials such as polymers, fillers, plasticizers or
additives. The Dryflex Green family includes compounds
with amounts of renewable content up to 90 % (ASTM D
6866-12) and hardness from 30 Shore A to 50 Shore D.
Amut Group spa
Italian Amut Group will present equipment from
its Packaging Film Division, its Extrusion Division, its
Recycling Division and its Thermoforming Division.
“Go Green” is the motto adopted by Amut to enforce
the recent circular economy trend to support the use
of materials in extrusion and thermoforming process
with low environmental impact. The ACF 820-PLUS
thermoforming machine will be in operation at the booth
using r-PET foil made with Amut-Erema extrusion line
and Ingeo foil. Ingeo is the PLA provided by NatureWorks
company. NatureWorks and Amut have recently started a
collaboration to propose PLA for food contact packaging.
