Dry as dust, RKW devewlops plastic cement bag films

摘要

For decades, the only solution for dusty goods such as cement or flour was robust paper sacks. These certainly cut down on dust but how did they perform against moisture? Such organic materials are very sensitive to moisture and some dust still escaped through seams, etc. Two specialists have now developed a new way of packaging cement in weldable, polymer sacks. The market leader in cement packaging equipment, Haver & Boecker, Germany and RKW AG in Worms, Germany, an experienced manufacturer of high-quality packaging and film solutions, have succeeded in developing an FFS system (FFS = Form, Fill & Seal) for dusty goods. The principal application areas for this packaging system will be building materials and chemicals.
