Meat packer curbs packaging material costs
Meat packer curbs packaging material costs
2012-07-13 Posted by Lisa McTigue Pierce, Editor -- Packaging Digest
With the price of polymer resin skyrocketing, food suppliers are driving packaging costs down wherever they can. This drive can result in tremendous savings but can also have disastrous results if not done correctly.
OptiGauges are currently installed on five production lines in three different production facilities with this customer. Because of the tremendous savings, this food producer is finalizing plans to install additional systems on nine more production lines during the remainder of 2012. Lumetrics worked with systems integrator FACTS to provide scanners and process control software as part of the custom solution. The system measures a three-layer top film and three-layer bottom film, making up the package.
"With the data obtained from the OptiGauge our customer saves millions of dollars per year, per factory," says Lumetrics' president John Hart. " Additionally by working with partners such as FACTS we are able to provide automated die control of the film, and control the multiple operations that contribute to the package construction."
