METTLER TOLEDO Product Inspection Group

X3 Series X-Ray Inspection Systems

METTLER TOLEDO Product Inspection Group introduces the X3 Series of bulk flow x-ray inspection systems, designed to deliver physical contamination detection, precision waste reduction and simplified operation. Consisting of the X13 and X53 models, the X3 Series for bulk inspection is developed with common parts of the X2 family. It offers hygienic design, streamlined usability and the performance required by agriculture, confectionery and dried food producers worldwide. The X3 Series has been developed for unpackaged, loose-flow bulk products on conveyors. Both systems in the series can detect contaminants as small as 0.3-0.4 mm, depending on application and contaminant material.

Amcor

Retort Bottle for Nutritional Shots

Amcor has partnered with Insymmetry to develop a 2-oz. retort bottle. Designed to meet the needs of brands seeking high-performance packaging for low-acid, shelf-stable products like coffee and dairy-based beverages, this packaging solution is the first to leverage Amcor Rigid Packaging’s (ARP) proprietary StormPanel technology. Designed to withstand high-pressure retort sterilization processes while maintaining product integrity and market-ready aesthetics, the bottle provides manufacturers with a reliable and scalable alternative to aseptic processing.

Hartmann

FiberWise Fiber-Based Trays

Designed to address growing environmental concerns, the new tray offers a sustainable alternative to conventional rigid plastic trays. FiberWise uses sustainable materials and upcycling to create packaging from renewable resources. FiberWise reduces plastic use by at least 70% as compared to traditional rigid PET or PP plastic trays.

SIG

Terra Alu-free + Full Barrier Multiserve Aseptic Cartons

The packaging structure for multi-serve cartons with no aluminum layer cuts the carbon footprint of SIG’s standard aseptic cartons by up to 61% when combined with forest-based polymers. Made of more than 80% paper, the material simplifies the packaging structure to only two main raw materials, that can all be linked to renewable sources. The packaging material offers the same full barrier protection as standard aseptic cartons and a shelf life of up to 12 months. It can run up to 24,000 packs per hour on SIG filling lines for small-size cartons and up to 15,000 packs per hour on filling lines for multi-serve cartons with only minor, low-cost adaptations.

Volkmann USA

VFD 100 Vibratory Feeder Dosing System

Integrating weighing, feeding and dosing in a single, compact unit, the VFD 100 gently and continuously feeds powders, pellets, granules and other free-flowing bulk materials into mixers, extruders and other equipment in volumetric feeding. It may be quickly adjusted to automatically weigh and dose the materials in precise amounts via loss-in-weight (LIW) feeding. Batch-to-batch variations due to human error are eliminated and a consistent, uniform product is achieved every time. FE
