Production Minimum plastic consumption (example for 21 600 cups/h)

• plastic consumption for preformed 125gr cup : 5.8 g• plastic consumption for FFS 125gr PS cup with label : 3,5 g• Difference : 2,3 g per cup

Labelling + lid differentiation • Same plastic reel

Hygiene• No using of ink solvent for labelling while cups are open• Heating treatment for plastic (up to 160°C)• IR or UV possible for decontamination of lid foil• No using of H2O2 or other chemical solutions for pre-cleaning• No dust of carton avoiding moisture and bacteria hasard

Logistics needs Optimized Pallet pattern for plastic supply

• 1 Plastic reel 1200mm x 398mm (430kg) 86 000 cups

Reel storage• Minimum storing surface• Easy stacking in hygienic condition

Less CO2

• Minimum truck required for transport• Easy handling with trolley in the factory

One pallet with 1 plastic reel allows

86 000 cups

One pallet withcups piles allows 10 000 cups

Application of packaging materials in FFS technology

All in One machine Concept Minimum space consumption Reels arrive with plastic overwrapping (No carton

to manage avoiding moisture and bacteria hazard)

Flexibility with multi-flavors Saving of water and cleaning solutions

Multipack capabilities Carton savings No secondary packaging machine Less handling to pack (less machine) Tight packing in case

Jumbo 2000mm reel

Application of packaging materials in FFS technology

Reducing the number of packaging machine i.e. 4 in 1 packing machine (overwrapping + stacking + tray erector + case packing) Synerlink robotized solution

Reduction of wastes and material consumption (plastic, carton...)

Stacking and unstacking management with optimized arrangement on Rollistrolleys

6Application of packaging materials in FFS technology

PLA (+ 5/8% additive) using PLA = Polylactic acid Biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch More expansive (price x2,5) Limited suppliers (1 reactor in USA using OGM corn starch)
