Laser printer unit

The laser printer units are suitable for applying permanent codes to packaging within sectors such as the pharmaceutical and medical industries. This solution is suitable for serialisation applications where permanent laser coding is required. The system applies codes directly to the packaging using laser technology, without the use of ink or labels. This produces a wear-resistant and permanent result that is suitable for further verification and inspection within track-and-trace processes. The unit can be used on a variety of packaging materials and is adjustable to different product formats and line speeds. The laser printer unit is designed for integration into existing or new packaging lines and can be used as a stand-alone unit or as part of a complete serialisation solution. Thanks to its compact design and robust construction, the unit is suitable for use in GMP environments.

On-the-fly printing

Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering develops and manufactures the Printer on the Fly, a patented serialisation solution for applying codes directly to cardboard packaging without the use of labels. This solution has been developed for high-speed packaging lines within the pharmaceutical and medical industries and eliminates the need for unnecessary handling. The Printer on the Fly stands out because packaging can be printed whilst it moves continuously through the packaging line. Thanks to the patented design, printing is applied not only in the direction of travel but also at right angles to the product’s direction of movement. This is achieved without the product having to stop or be repositioned! The solution utilises inkjet technology and is designed for high print speeds. The patented principle, featuring a linear servo drive, ensures a stable and reliable printing process, even at high line speeds. The Printer on the Fly is ergonomically designed, easy to operate and suitable for integration with camera systems and reject solutions.

Aggregation machines

Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering develops and manufactures aggregation machines that play a key role in track-and-trace processes for the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Aggregation is the process by which unique serial numbers from individual packages are linked to higher-level packaging – such as bundle packs, outer cartons or pallets – thereby creating the hierarchical traceability structure required for compliance and secure supply chains. Our aggregation machines are designed to automatically fold, label and seal boxes – with high precision and ease of use. The machines can be integrated into existing packaging lines or used as stand-alone units. Furthermore, they can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of box sizes and product types. The systems are ergonomically designed, easy for a single operator to use, and comply with GMP requirements for pharmaceutical environments.

Sample rolls

In many cases, we cut the film to size ourselves. Van den Broek Packaging operates a number of in-house cutting machines. This enables us to deliver quickly in urgent cases. Furthermore, cutting sample rolls is much quicker than ordering them from a manufacturer. In many cases, carrying out a test is the starting point for the launch of a new product and therefore your first introduction to Van den Broek Packaging as your potential film supplier.

Interleavers

Interleavers are used as separators for products such as cheese or cold meats. They are supplied on rolls, to be used as a fully integrated part of the process in, for example, the Weber slicing system; so, whilst the cheese is being sliced, the paper sheets are cut at the same time and placed between the slices. The material is made of paper suitable for use in the food industry, for well-known retailers as well as suppliers in the healthcare sector.

Hibassk thermoformed film & vacuum bags

This unique film was developed and patented by Van den Broek Packaging itself. The film is particularly effective when vacuum-packing beef, for example, whether cut into technical cuts or portioned. The starting point for this development was the beef industry, which was facing significant discolouration issues, initially in the export market. Nowadays, more and more off-cuts are being portioned for the catering sector. In particular, the more expensive cuts, sourced from South American off-cuts, are highly susceptible to colour changes. This film minimises complaints about discolouration. In addition to colour retention, this film has a high oxygen barrier, which significantly extends the best-before date. Another major advantage is the reduction in moisture loss; this keeps the packaging looking better and means the moisture is less likely to cause bacterial growth. This therefore also offers opportunities for fresh or semi-fresh meat products such as roast beef. In practice, it has also been found that, after opening the packaging, the smell of the meat is immediately noticeably fresher than when opening packaging made with standard films, where a musty odour is often noticeable immediately upon opening. Hibassk® can also be used for cooking processes. Hibassk® is mainly formed on a thermoforming machine, but can also be used as pouches. In summary, Hibassk® offers the following advantages: colour retention longer best-before date less musty odour when opening the packaging less moisture around the product inside the packaging Hibassk® is also suitable for the increasingly popular skin packaging.

Flowpack film

Van den Broek Packaging supplies film for both horizontal and vertical flow-packers. As is often the case, several types and thicknesses of film are available. Clear OPP film or PP film with various oxygen barriers, with or without an anti-fog coating. Flow-pack film with PE as the sealing medium, which may also feature a quick-seal layer (sometimes necessary when packaging heavy products using a vertical flow-packer). Film is also available for filling hot liquid products.

Topseal film

Van den Broek Packaging supplies film for all types of trays using the following sealing materials: PP (for so-called PP trays), PE (usually for rigid trays but also for foam trays), trays without a sealing medium (APET or C-PET trays) and, finally, aluminium trays. All of these are available as bulk packaging or consumer packaging. The film available comes in a number of key variations: – anti-condensation film– peelable film– various oxygen barriers– microwave-safe “microwaveable” – oven-safe– printed film, both flexographic and rotogravure

Rigid thermoformed film

In almost all cases, rigid film is used as the bottom layer. Rigid film is only suitable for gas-flushed packaging. Examples include packaging for diced bacon and sliced cheese. Examples of rigid thermoformed film include APET, with PE as the sealing medium. APET can be produced with a high EVOH oxygen barrier or with a peelable layer. In these cases, the top film is not rigid, but flexible and clear. Several variations are possible in this configuration. A rigid top film is also possible in some cases.
