Multivac Announces The R550-Soluform: A Next Generation Water Soluble Packaging System
New Thermoform-Fill-Seal Rollstock System Boosts Brands for Unit Dose Household & Industrial Applications
Kansas City, MO - (August 5, 2002) - Multivac, Inc., announces the R550-Soluform, a new horizontal thermoform-fill-seal system configured specifically for water-soluble packaging applications. The new system produces Soluforms(tm), which is the next generation of high-integrity water-soluble packages. They are ideal for liquid and powder products such as laundry detergent, concentrated cleaning products, fertilizers,
and pesticide. Pharmaceutical and over-the-counter medical applications are also potential candidates for Soluforming(tm). End users simply place Soluforms in water, dissolving the package while safely and accurately activating the product with no measuring or spills.
The new R550-Soluform system, based on Multivac's proven technology, has specially configured film transport technology, control systems, and film heating and sealing components. These features offer packagers the benefits of the highest seal integrity available in the industry, efficient automated production, and the flexibility to produce a variety of shapes and sizes. Cost reductions can also be achieved because forming the water-soluble film generates considerable film savings compared to other methods. For samples of Multivac Soluforms call 800-800-8552 or email molly@multivac.com.
"Soluforming differentiates brands by providing a clean, accurate, and safe means of unit dose delivery of concentrated liquid and powder products to consumer and industrial markets," says Patrick Ditchfield, market development manager, Multivac. "We first delivered a system for formed water-soluble packages of detergents in 1988, but this generation of machinery takes advantage of the latest developments in both machine systems and film technology. For these applications, it is vital that a packaging system provide a strong seal to avoid leaks, easy automation for high capacity production, and flexibility. Multivac systems provide these benefits as well as the services to design and effectively implement a water-soluble brand in medical, consumer, and industrial markets."
