6 Ausg.Nr._06/2017 packaging solutions P rimoreels A/S has be- come an established partner for manufactur- ers in the dairy sector and the water/juice industry. With the constant introduction of new products and battle for shelf space at retail, our solutions help our customers stand out with high-quality graphics and long shelf-life performance, that is able to compete with the tra- ditional thicker Alu die cut lids. Our plastic solutions have ena- bled customers to forego expen- sive and wasteful over capping, and in this way bring the dairy packaging to next level in terms of efficiency and lower total cost. Primoreels ® flexible packaging solutions have fastly gained a reputation for timely, high-qual- ity, innovative lidding solutions that satisfy our customers. Primoreels A/S was founded in year 2008, but has its roots from a filling machine company with more than 60 years of experience within the dairy industry. The first product introduced to the market was a membrane for the produc- tion of UF feta cheese, which enabled the further development of a lidding system which offers unparalleled advantages to dairy product manufacturers whom tra- ditionally are using ALU/PET die cut lids or roll-stock solutions. Primoreels ® system The unique Primoreels ® system is already installed in numerous high capacity machines through- out the world, and further devel- opment has allowed Primoreels to retro-fit our stand-alone units to existing Inline machines as well as Round table machines, to sig- nificantly enhance their efficiency and hygienic security level in the production. This comes with a small investment to the existing filling machine, which runs with preformed cups and die-cut/roll- stock solution. Switching lidding system to a Primoreels solution will be done in max. 4 days - on site - and the existing machine can be of any brand and size. Each machine unit is tailor-made and has its own dedicated touch- screen panel and controls, thus making them truly independent units without interfering with the current PLC or other on the filling machine. The simple instalment creates the perfect interaction be- tween machine and foil material. Compared to regular die-cut PET and Aluminium lids, Primoreels ® PET lids are the new great alter- native – cost efficient and with a minimum of carbon footprint. Primoreels lids comes in thinner materials than regular die-cut lids, and therefore it’s expected to create savings for our customers all around the world. Materials can be run as thin as in 23 microns, and the reels con- tains as much as 60,000 lids per reel. Furthermore, it possible to obtain exceptionally high print quality on the ultra-smooth lid surface. Other obvious benefits include UV-C sterilised lids, which eliminate contamination and in- crease shelf life. Membrane for UF feta production For the production of Ultra filtrat- ed (UF) Feta cheese also known as “Suzme Peynir” in Turkey or “Shabnam” in Iran, Primoreels has developed a membrane made of a white voided OPP film with opacity and whiteness. By replacing the traditional per- meable membrane with a special- ly developed impermeable mem- brane Primoreels has radically simplified the production process of UF white cheese. Salting of UF cast cheese using permeable membranes is a cum- bersome process that requires turning the containers twice. Primoreels has conceived a two- part solution comprising: • a special impermeable mem- brane whose properties ensure that containers with cheese no longer need to be turned in the middle of the manufac- turing process. The imperme- able membrane is placed on the coagulated cheese, salt is dosed on the membrane, and the containers may then be sealed and placed into the fermentation room in an up- right position. • a new type of dispenser for the membranes that eliminates the significant cross-contamination risks during handling of the membranes. The membranes are produced and dispensed in reels with- out the endless strips of foil ever being touched by human hands. Moreover, they pass a UV treatment device before being dispensed on the cheese curd. The reels with membranes will typically have enough units to keep the production running for up to 8 hours. The need for constant refilling of membranes of the machine is thus removed. The inline approach to the pro- cess of filling, coagulation, cut- ting and packaging performed in a flow, under ultra-clean condi- tions, is the safest and most effi- cient method on the market. Primoreels enables to cut the cheese in the containers be- fore placing the impermeable Primoreels ® membranes in the containers. The process also makes it possible to add herbs, oils and the like to the cheese.
