Ceepackaging

Liver sausage is not excepted from the trend towards convenience. More and more manufacturers of spreadable sausage now offer their products in handy containers with easy-peel lids, thus ensuring that the product can be spread without the consumer dirtying his or her fingers, and that the packaging retains its attractive appearance throughout its useful life. Packaging film specialist Kobusch-Sengewald has responded to this development and designed its special FlexoLid HB film.

DSM Engineering Plastics has introduced Akulon XP, a high productivity grade of PA6 for film applications. Akulon XP offers a broader processing window leading to more flexibility and more uniform thickness distribution in cast film, more melt strength and better parison stability leading to optimized LDPE/LLDPE ratio in multi-layer films without sacrificing the mechanical properties, more shear thinning than with standard PA6 enabling thus higher coating velocities possible and still absolutely gel free.

RPC Bebo Plastik has created a bespoke multi-layer tub for a range of sausage meats from leading German meat processor Stockmeyer.
