Sealed in freshness at 600 bottles a minute!
When the world‘s largest food company moved away from foil glue seals they had high aspirations for improvements for both their product and packaging efficienices. They chose Enercon to help them achieve both goals and much more with hermetic foil induction sealing.
Goals and Results:
Reduce production line down-time and maintenance:
As soon as the company moved away from glue foil seals on the coffee jars–a ”big‘ saving in maintenance cost and line down time became apparent.
Increase product shelf-life:
Because the induction seal is hermetic, it reduces oxidation and bacterial contamation, thereby eliminating any deterioration during transit and storage– a reduction in wastage costs as well as giving the purchaser a seal that peels beautifully when opened and no risk of small pieces of gold foil or dried glue falling into the coffee jar before use.
Increase product output:
The biggest move forward is an increase in production output from an average of 400 jars per min which led to a reduction in unit cost per jar of coffee.
Retain product quality, storage and transport capability:
The increased seal cap- ability achieved a pressure test level of over -600mlb. This assisted storage at high alttitude i.e. aircraft transit and cities such as Mexico.
Reduce packaging volume and weight:
Weight reduction in both plastic cap and glass bottle
Conclusion
Induction foil sealing has become the preferred method of closure within the coffee industry, delivering:
- a better quality seal with a longer shelf-life.
- significant savings in production down-time.
- reduced packaging
- transport and storage wastage costs reduced
- a production increase of over of 12.5%
