Maximum protection for demanding filling products
Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and drums from this company’s Foodcert and Cleancert lines ensure comprehensive material, product and process safety. The company is now offering these IBCs with a liner system (photo) with U.N. approval, thus ensuring maximum quality protection with minimum effort. The Ecobulk Foodcert + Aseptic fully meets the specific requirements in the food, pharmaceuticals and toiletries industries; it effectively excludes contamination risks along the entire supply chain, extends the shelf-life of the filling products and ensures consistent quality from filling to emptying, says the company. The liner is made of top-grade LDPE (low-density polyethylene) film; a special folding technique minimizes air and allows it to unfold and align itself automatically in the inner bottle during filling. The gradual unfolding of the liner also means that contact between the filling product and the ambient atmosphere is kept to a minimum. The result is 99% less exposure to oxygen than in a standard IBC, says the company. — Schütz GmbH & Co. KGaA, Selters, Germany
