Loliware’s compostable, ocean-safe seaweed resins now available to Montachem’s global customer base

Leave a comment

MILAN, 4-Sep-2023 — /EPR FOOD AND BEVERAGE NEWS/ — Montachem International, the global thermoplastics resin corporation, will announce tomorrow its move into biomaterials with U.S.-based Loliware, an award-winning materials science company. The debut marks the first time Montachem has adopted biomaterials into its European portfolio of plastic resins. The companies are debuting their seaweed-based resins at the Plast conference (Hall 9-Booth 141/142 A/B) in Milan tomorrow, an event that also marks Loliware’s entrance into Europe’s $3.5 billion bio-resin market.

The launch introduces Loliware’s compostable, ocean-safe seaweed resins to Montachem’s global customer base, expanding their product assortment beyond Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polystyrene, PVC, and PET. The company expects to sign a full commercial agreement by the end of 2023, with a multi-year program to distribute Loliware’s seaweed resins for extrusion and injection molding to their manufacturing customers. Notably, Loliware’s SEA Technologyresins are engineered to be processed on existing plastics machinery.

Loliware’s entry into the EU market comes at a time when most currently available biomaterials have not met the strict regulatory requirements for home compostability, an issue Loliware solved early into its seven-year journey to design a better plastic alternative.

“We aim to be fully engaged with environmentally friendly materials that contribute to our ESG mission, and Loliware was the clear standout. Because these new resins fit into existing manufacturing equipment, it is an easy switch for our customers who want to diversify their product selection,” said Montachem President and CEO Jerry Murcia. “Expanding our resins with these revolutionary, versatile, modern materials is the right thing at the right time.”

“With Montachem, we can offer global plastic converters a cost-effective alternative that complies with new legislation, new customer demands, and new waste requirements,” said Loliware CEO Sea Briganti. “We look forward to the many innovative products produced with our compostable seaweed materials, beyond the straws and utensils already in hotels and restaurants across the United States.”

According to recent estimates by KPMG, the global plastics market is projected to reach $753 billion by 2026, with increasing demand for plastic products. At the same time, there are significant concerns over their environmental impacts, particularly the accumulation of plastic waste in the oceans. Governments and consumers alike are focusing on reducing plastic waste, the company said, and upstream companies are increasingly offering plastic alternatives to meet rising demands from customers and consumers.

AFPAK K Cup Filling Sealing Machines Uses the Nitrogen Flushing System

Leave a comment

Wenzhou, China, 2019-Jan-30 — /EPR FOOD & BEVERAGE NEWS/ — Nitrogen is well-known to be an important element in the proper storage of coffee. Since AFPAK, one of the leading K Cup filling machine manufacturers, always makes sure that they are ahead in the industry, they have applied the nitrogen flushing system to their K Cup Filling Sealing Machines and their other coffee capsule packaging machines. This means that clients no longer have to worry about nitrogen issues as each machine will have 5-6 nitrogen flushing stations to keep more than 90% of nitrogen inside the coffee capsules and filled and sealed K cups.

“We always think of ways on how we can improve our machines so we can cater to our clients better. The nitrogen flushing system is another feature we offer our customers so they can be guaranteed that their coffee capsules are stored properly. We try to stand out among our competitors by realizing what our clients need even before asking them. This additional feature shows how we carefully think about what a coffee capsule packaging machine should be.” AFPAK Sales Manager, Monica, shares about their machines.

The company has developed a K Cup Filling Sealing Machine that is capable of flushing more than 95% of nitrogen inside the K Cups. The machine was designed automatically, which only requires one person to operate the machine properly. This promotes faster production that saves time and labor costs for the clients. AFPAK is so pleased with this development as it makes the production process efficient. Aside from the nitrogen flushing system, the K Cup Filling Sealing Machine is easy to use and maintain. It is also servo motor-driven, which ensures high accuracy and stability.

AFPAK offers four different types of K Cup packaging machines to meet different requirements of their customers:

AF-HK1 K Cup Coffee Capsule Filling Sealing Machine: This is the most basic machine that only operates one lane and can produce 30 K cups per minute. It comes with carrier plates that are pneumatically driven, a small footprint layout, and can handle various styles of capsules with easy size changeover.

AF-HK2 K Cup Coffee Capsule Filling Sealing Machine: This machine operates two lanes and can produce 100 K cups each minute. It is servo-driven and can easily be operated and maintained. One machine can use both separated and welded K Cups. It guarantees stability and high accuracy manufacturing process.

AF-HK4 K Cup Coffee Capsule Filling Sealing Machine: This is a four-lane machine that can produce 200 K cups per minute. Other features can be added depending on the client’s needs and the recommendations made by AFPAK engineers.

AF-RK1S K Cup Coffee Capsule Filling Sealing Machine: This machine only has 1 lane working and can produce 50 K cups per minute. However, it comes with fast speed, which makes the production process time-saving and cost-effective.

Thames Valley Catering Are Looking After The Dishes

Leave a comment

Thames Valley Catering Equipment is able to supply a vast range of catering equipment to all parts of the trade from the restaurant to the large hospital and company kitchen but they also try to seriously look after the smaller user as well. With this in mind Thames Valley Catering is pleased to promote the smaller range of Sammic commercial dishwashers aimed at the smaller cafes and restaurants and other smaller catering establishments. The smaller units sometimes feel a little left out as the large companies seem to have all the best equipment but Thames Valley Catering is able to offer some excellent Sammic dishwashers to satisfy even the smallest requirement.

The company realises that any dishwasher is fairly costly and for the smaller unit that can be very important but the Sammic range is very good in quality and excellent in price. The Sammic SL-23 front loading dishwasher is a very good example of the type of equipment available having a 400 mm x 400 mm square basket, which will turn round a complete load in 180 seconds. This speed of operation will bring savings on crockery purchased and will give an excellent finished product. There are other savings to be made in water usage as the Sammic front loading dishwasher uses an optimal water flow system to reduce usage to a minimum. Sammic have fitted a detergent dosing system for speed of usage and there is an automatic rinse aid built into the dishwasher to ensure a high class finish.

Thames Valley Catering Equipment has a great deal of faith in these units, as they will bring serious savings to the business. The first saving is obviously in operator costs, as the speed of this unit will reduce the dishwashing time to around 20% of the hand washing systems. Secondly there are savings in crockery stocks and also in water and detergent usages. The dishwasher from Sammic will fit in well in a small kitchen as it requires little working space that is often at a premium in the smaller establishments and yet it has a high workload potential for such an establishment.

The Sammic SL-23 front loading machines are also ideal for larger concerns that need an extra machine either as a spare for the disaster day that the larger machines are broken or out of action for major cleaning of the present unit or as a separate unit for certain goods for example glasses or other special delicate products. The units are flexible and the space requirements are small and are ideal as a “Get of jail” card.

Thames Valley Catering Equipment would be delighted to answer any queries or give advice on the best and most appropriate Sammic dishwashers, there are years of experience available in the company and any question posed will almost certainly have been posed before. Sammic dishwashers have been around for some time and the quality and technology is excellent for the conditions they have to work in and the work they have to do and Thames Valley Catering Equipment is pleased to recommend their usage.
