Did you pack your beer lightly?

Editor's Note: In addition to its physical properties of transparency, aesthetics, moisture resistance, and dust resistance, heat-shrinkable packaging can achieve significant cost savings over corrugated paper cartons, plastic turnover boxes, and other packaging formats. As a beer packaging, the “lightly packaged” heat shrinkable film packaging form will become an important trend for development. The purpose of this article is to allow many beer manufacturers to have a deeper understanding of this packaging technology, and then to help the application of heat shrink film packaging technology in the future. In addition, Beijing Super Thinking Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd., Xiamen Yangxing Xingye Conveying Machinery Co., Ltd., and Quanzhou Kesheng Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. and other post-packaging machinery manufacturers can provide the entire post-stage soft plastic packaging equipment for the beer industry in the future. In the packing technology dynamics, we will continue to report relevant information for you.

Since the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) expressly stipulates that the packaging of bottled beer must not use strapping, the cost-effective, safe and reliable soft plastic whole packaging (also known as heat-shrinkable film packaging) is safe, transparent, sealed, dust-proof, moisture-proof, and material-saving. The advantages of low cost and other advantages have become one of the best packaging forms for alternative strapping packages.

Soft plastic has the characteristics of high tensile strength, high elongation at break, low right-angle tear, recyclability, etc., and its cost is only one-third of the carton (box) within a relatively short sales radius. And heat-shrinking packaging breaks away from the traditional forms of baling, cartons, and plastic turnover boxes, giving consumers a fresh look.

In the heat shrinkable film packaging machine suitable for the beer industry, Ke Shi Min (China) Co., Ltd. introduced the E-STAR series shrink film packaging machine. The single-channel production speed of this equipment can reach up to 60 packs/minute. It can fully cooperate with the beer production line, and it can realize various packaging forms, and it can be adjusted quickly and easily when replacing packaging products. The equipment has a long-distance communication and self-diagnosis system and is driven by a servo motor to ensure stable operation of the equipment at high speed. The shrinkage temperature of this series of heat shrink machine is between 180°C and 210°C (temperature can be adjusted freely with soft plastic material). Oven hot air flow tunnel design, so that the packaging effect of good appearance and high strength. If the customer chooses color plastic film as the packaging material, the device is also equipped with a color printing film positioning cutting system device, which can ensure that the color film pattern packaging shear is accurate.

At present, the soft plastic overall packaging (shrink film packaging) has been favored by more and more beer companies, Budweiser, Yanjing, Suntory, China Resources, Pearl River, Huiquan and other companies have used this on many of its products The packaging form has been widely recognized by consumers and the sales performance is gratifying.
