Packaging liquid and pasty products represents a real challenge for manufacturers. They need to pack large quantities of items quickly to prevent them from spoiling, as in the case of oils and fats, which can spoil if not packed to standard.
What is conditioning
The packaging corresponds to the stage of the packaging of the products. A good packaging suitable for the products facilitates their transport, as well as their storage. Moreover, the packaging must protect the characteristics of the product so that it is "fair and marketable". Fats, as well as industrial oils, are no exception to this rule. Indeed, fats are products that can deteriorate and lose their properties if the packaging is not done properly.
Process of fat conditioning
The first step is to consider the product's original container, which may be an IBC, a drum or a keg. Next, we'll look at the final packaging in which the grease or oil will be used, such as a jar, plastic tube or doypack. These elements will enable us to adapt the means of production for pouring the product into the containers. Finally, we make sure that the packaging is properly sealed, labeled and boxed. The packaged products are placed on pallets ready for shipment.
The advantages of fat conditioning
Grease packaging finds its main use in the industrial world. Industries need to improve packaging quality, while reducing packaging costs. In addition, to protect the environment, they need to minimize waste.
Automated grease packaging offers numerous advantages and helps to optimize the production line. The machines used carry out precise dosing according to customer requirements.
