Multisorb To Present Sustainability Message At PACK EXPO 2012

Reduce Food and Packaging Waste Through Use of Active Packaging Technology

Multisorb Technologies has announced it will be exhibiting at PACK EXPO International 2012, October 28-31, 2012, in Chicago, Illinois. In addition to showcasing its sorbent systems and solutions, Multisorb will use this processing and packaging show as a forum to present an on-booth symposium, “Sustainability & Increased Profits through Active Packaging” on October 29 at 10:00 am.

The presentation will focus on the benefits of using active packaging solutions to extend shelf life and reduce waste. It will demonstrate how a shift to active packaging can increase profitability while allowing manufacturers, processors, and retailers to be more eco-conscious.

Multisorb will also be showcasing its Drop-In, Fit-In, and Built-In active packaging solutions.  No matter what the sorbent need, Multisorb has a solution.

A Drop-In solution consists of an optimized spooled sorbent in the form of a packet. FreshPax®Oxygen Absorbers can be easily placed directly into the product packaging. For automated or semi-automated placement of the sorbent into packaging or for extending handling time, Multisorb offers sorbent systems. FreshPax® and StripPax®Systems include the respective sorbent packets and a sorbent dispenser that has been engineered specifically for that sorbent, providing unmatched reliability. Multisorb also offers a Continuous Reliability Program that provides a variety of preventative maintenance plans to ensure continuity of your packaging line.

Multisorb will be displaying the APA-500 and APA-300; both of which are components of the MAPLOX® Program. The semi-automated APA-500 low-speed dispenser drops packets on demand from an operator’s signal. Sorbent capacity is protected through use of a fully enclosed cabinet and is available with dry air or gas purge.  The manual APA-300 is ideal for hand placement of FreshPax® CR packets into master bags of fresh meat. The sorbent packets are moved through the dispenser using an innovative magnetic system. A nitrogen purge system optimizes packet capacity during storage. 

Multisorb’s Fit-In solutions eliminate loose sachets as the sorbent virtually becomes part of the packaging. Fit-In solutions include:FreshCard™ Oxygen Absorbing Cards, FreshMax® Self-Adhesive Oxygen Absorbers, and DesiMax® Self-Adhesive Sorbents.

Multisorb’s Built-In solutions incorporate the sorbent formulation directly into packaging material for containers and films. Talk to a Multisorb representative about the benefits.
