Smurfit Kappa Bag-In-Box has launched a new type of seal on its wine application bags
02/11/2014
In addition to the usual seals, eight supplementary radial seals (two in each of the four corners), help to protect the wine inside.
This new triple protection system is called “Safe Curve” and is possible thanks to new tools that have been installed on production lines for wine bags in the plants of Ibi (Spain) and Epernay (France).
Cendrine Lallement, R&D Manager at Smurfit Kappa, explains: “We have developed these new seals in order to improve the filling process with severe constraints”.
Indeed, the “Safe Curve” design brings an additional protection during the drop of the bag in the box after filling and also reduces the risk of abrasion. |
