New Sterile Composite Tons of Bags

Sterile large-capacity composite material tonnage bagging for food was recently successfully developed by Gansu Longxi Plastics Co., Ltd. It is alleged that the advent of this new type of product has filled China's production technology gap.

It is understood that China is the largest producer and exporter of concentrated apple juice and tomato sauce. In 2004, the output of concentrated apple juice was 570,000 tons, and the export volume was 487,000 tons; the output of tomato ketchup was 700,000 tons and the export volume was 540,000 tons. The export volume and output of these two products are increasing at a rate of 12.3% and 9.7% respectively. In addition, there are other types of concentrated fruit juice production exceeding 240,000 tons and export volume reaching 130,000 tons. With the increase in the export volume of concentrated fruit and vegetable juices in China, the demand for tons of bagged and packaged products on the international market has become increasingly strong. In China, the packaging of concentrated juices currently uses 220 L bags, and all tons of bagging required are imported. Imports exceeded 520,000.

Hengli Plastic Products Company is aiming at the blank in China, and the aseptic composite material tonnage bags developed and produced are made from a variety of composite membranes and have excellent toughness and barrier properties. Compared with other large-capacity packaging such as iron drum (lined aseptic packaging), it has the advantages of large packaging capacity, low transportation cost, convenient use, and small storage space. In addition, the product was not filled with containers prior to packaging, and there was no contamination during the packaging process. At the same time, it can also extend the shelf life and freshness of the packaged goods stored at room temperature. And it has light weight, high compressive strength, good shock resistance, corrosion resistance, good airtightness, simple structure, safe and hygienic. Waste packaging bags can be recycled without environmental pollution. In terms of technology, it has the required shading, strong mechanical properties, barrier properties and heat sealability.

According to estimates by industry insiders, the annual demand for bagging food-grade aseptic high-capacity tonnage in China's fruit and vegetable industry alone will reach 5.49 million.
