Interpack 2023 I Amcor & IMA Ilapak showcase variable geometry flow wrapper

Amcor and automatic packaging machines specialist IMA Ilapak are showcasing

Amcor and automatic packaging machines specialist IMA Ilapak are showcasing their range of sustainable dairy packaging solutions at this year's Interpack.

IMA Ilapak is displaying what it says is the world's first variable geometry flow wrapper machine – the Delta OF-360 X.

Amcor's AmPrima film; a recycle-ready packaging solution for dairy products, will be one of the first innovations to run on this new machinery.

IMA Ilapak said this ‘breakthrough’ kit that can run any packaging material, from paper-based to complex laminates and recyclable mono-polymer films.

The horizontal form fill seal (HFFS) machine addresses allows manufacturers and packers to switch easily between different substrates at a time when the future of more sustainable packaging is fluid and uncertain.

One of the first innovations to run on the Delta OF-360 X is Amcor's AmPrima film; a recycle-ready packaging solution for dairy products.

AmPrima mono-material PE or PP films are lightweight, flexible, and ideal for dairy products, with elevated barrier properties designed to increase freshness and quality.

The solution is certified by cyclos-HTP institute for recyclability in most European countries where the PE or PP recycling stream is in place.

Compared to standard, non-recyclable dairy packaging, AmPrima can achieve reductions in non-renewable energy use, lower packaging's carbon footprint and reduce water consumption.

Amcor said that by switching to AmPrima, one Amcor dairy customer was able to lower their packaging's carbon footprint by 41% and water consumption by 11%.

Yi Jiang, marketing director dairy, Amcor EMEA, said: "We are excited to showcase our innovation alongside IMA Ilapak at Interpack 2023, and we’re confident that our combined efforts will help manufacturers and packers meet their production efficiency goals while meeting consumer desire for improved sustainability."
