Plastic-replacement packaging uses hybrid paper-bioplastic mix


I


talian tissue converting equipment manufacturer Fabio Perini has developed an eco-friendly, combined


paper and bio-plastic material for use on its Casmatic machines as a means of replacing plastic packaging. The move is in response to


proposals to restrict the use of some plastics for disposable products by the European Commission. The Lucca-based firm has


developed ‘green’ primary and secondary packaging that can easily adapt to current systems and existing equipment. With a partner company, Fabio


Perini conducted tests of a range of materials on its latest packaging machines such as the CMW1000 and Carbon T, and developed an innovative, ecological material that combines paper and bioplastic with properties that can be


interchanged with conventional polyethylene. PPS is a paper coupled with


Mater-Bi, an ecological bioplastic having the same properties as plastic polymers, but with the added benefits of being recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable. Two types of PPS products are


available: a low-weight paper, 25gsm, and a thicker 40gsm paper. Both are FSC-certified and are laminated or extruded


with bioplastics with thicknesses ranging from 7 to 9 microns to ensure high pack weldability and an excellent product hygroscopic barrier. PPS products are available in either virgin paper or recycled paper. The 100 per cent biodegradable virgin paper is certified ‘Vinicotte OK compost’, which has the fibres closely joined to accommodate the higher heat needed for bioplastic fusion and


good packaging seals, as well as being more resistant. PPS products are compatible with Casmatic’s latest generation packaging machines – such as Casmatic A6T, CMW1000 and the new Carbon T – by using a ‘bio- pack kit’. This makes it is possible to select the desired packaging material from the control panel and the Casmatic packaging machine automatically sets appropriate parameters.


Making life easier when handling paper rolls


A new paper roll pusher that is easier for operators to handle has been launched by CFE Nordic. The EasyRoller features a handle


that can be turned through 200 degrees, making it possible to tilt the machine and push the unit sideways. The operator can move the


EasyRoller in between rolls or to use it in areas where there is little space, for example at the unwinding stand where sometimes there is little space between the roll and the machine. Another advantage with the swiveling handle is that now it is possible for the operator to


to require little maintenance and parts, with drives protected inside the chassis. CFE Nordic says the EasyRoller is more economic to run because it doesn’t consume batteries and brushes. EasyRoller can also be equipped with a new feature, the CleanRoll. This feature avoids the drive roll of the roll pusher to mark the paper roll and thus improves the customer impression of your rolls. More information from CFE

friendly handle of the type as found on pallet trucks along with a ‘belly button’ emergency stop. The high-quality motor is said
