After lengthy technical research conducted in conjunction with strategic industry partners, Fawema from Germany is delighted to report that the they have successfully installed and commissioned their first flour packing machinery for one kg retail flour packs, which now delivers Dust-Tight Paper Bag Packaging.
For many years, one of the main challenges for millers has been in trying to eliminate occasional flour dust spillage from conventional paper bags.
With this challenge in mind, Fawema began the process to “fight …… and bite” into the problem of dust emission with the objective of being able to offer new technology which was both simple to implement and cost-effective for the flour miller.
Retailers in particular have been demanding improvements in the way that food products, and especially powdery food products such as flour and associated products are packed and delivered to them. Flour dust residue on supermarket shelves is a problem which they are naturally keen to avoid. Not only was the hygiene question of dust an issue but also the vitally important aspect of food security and the requirement to have tamper-proof products.
Cost-effectiveness was the key element in the project: if the initiative was to be of interest from the millers´ point of view, then it had to be a cost-effective solution for them.
The message coming from the market was loud and clear; the industry needed innovation both on the packing machinery, but also on the packaging materials i.e. the ready-made paper bags which the vast majority of mills utilise for packing retail flour destined for supermarkets, grocery stores etc.
In order to achieve a workable solution, Fawema appreciated the need to talk in technical detail with leading paper converters (individual companies around the world who purchase paper in bulk and then convert it into the finished, printed paper bags), which are then filled and closed automatically on the Fawema equipment.
It was clear that the expertise of the bag makers, in their particular geographical areas of the world, would need to be “married” with the expertise of Fawema as manufacturers of the packing machinery, in order to achieve a system that had perfect functionality and compatibility, while at the same time ensuring that the new type of dust-tight sealable paper bags were locally available from regular bag suppliers thus guaranteeing rapid delivery, easy replenishment and avoiding costly long-distance shipments and high importation levies. Furthermore, the new sealable paper bags had to be able to work on either new or existing Fawema flour packing machinery with a system that was economically viable, and which ensured that the production output speed of the packing line was not unduly affected.
