Tea with Compostable Pods
Genecis Bioindustries' Mad Tea tea pods are engineered to be industrially compostable. The tea pods are made from a proprietary strain of bacteria that creates bioplastics, including polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), which are natural and non-toxic to humans and wildlife. Able to be broken down completely, without leaving microplastics behind, Mad Tea pods also offer durability during the brewing process, resulting in less waste compared to traditional plastic or aluminum coffee and tea pods.
Hapman
Tubular Drag Conveyor
Hapman's CablePro Tubular Drag Conveyor is designed specifically for gentle, clean and efficient transport of products, such as cereals, grains, nuts, frozen foods, pet food and other delicate items. The CablePro system features FDA-approved components, including food-grade coatings and polished stainless-steel tubing. It is equipped with self-lubricating UHMW disks, which are injection-molded directly onto a pre-stretched, food-grade oil-lubricated stainless-steel braided cable with a nylon coating.
Paboco
Market-Ready Paper Bottle and Cap
Paboco announced the launch of a new product line, including what the company says is the first-ever available combination of paper bottles and fiber-based caps. The company partnered with Blue Ocean Closures, which launched a standard closure for solids and pills, to be immediately ready for market use. This entire package, including cap, has a reported total weight of less than 16g, with an HDPE barrier weighing less than 2g. With the bottle’s thin barrier, the combined package is recyclable as paper packaging.
Multi-Conveyor
Adjustable Carton Pusher
Multi-Conveyor has designed and manufactured a series of independently-powered plastic chain conveyors to transport single-lane product to a customer’s existing shrink wrapper or to its case packer. At one juncture, the operator allows single cartons to travel straight to the case packer. Alternatively, they may engage a vertical urethane belt transfer (UBT) with eagle belting, and extend/retract sensors can be lowered into position to right angle transfer cartons, redirecting them to a pusher device fed multi-pack shrink wrapper.
