ILLIG introduces new dry fiber packaging system

ILLIG’s patent-pending process enables the economical and sustainable production of fiber-based packaging with a high drawing ratio, including round cups and trays.

 

ILLIG packaging solutions GmbH is introducing its new modular production system for dry natural fiber (dry fiber) packaging. This innovation will be showcased at Fachpack 2024 in Nuremberg and aims to meet the rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions.

 

The new ILLIG Dry Fiber Molding Machine (DFM) allows for the production of a variety of packaging types, including trays, lids, and cups, with customizable barrier properties. The machine’s modular design offers high output and flexibility, enabling the production of deeper and more varied shapes compared to existing technologies.

 

Jürgen Lochner, CSO/CTO of ILLIG, describes the dry fiber technology as “game-changing,” highlighting its cost-efficiency and sustainability. The technology avoids the use of process water, contributing to its reduced CO2 footprint and better energy efficiency.

 

Frédéric Engel, Product Manager Dry Fiber, notes that the system addresses market needs for high-output fiber packaging and provides advantages in production costs and efficiency.

 

Visitors to the Fachpack trade fair from September 24 to 26 can explore the new system at Hall 1, Booth 258, and learn more about ILLIG’s comprehensive range of packaging solutions.
