Addressing the challenges of die-cuts waste management in packaging processes
In the fast-paced world of packaging, efficiency and accuracy are critical. Among the many challenges faced in packaging lines, managing excess material trimmed from products (e.g., perforation waste) often remains a critical but underestimated problem. If not addressed effectively, waste management problems can lead to operational inefficiencies as well as product quality issues due to contamination.
What is perforation waste in the packaging process?
Perforation waste refers to the residual material generated during the cutting or punching of packaging products. In the case of macro mechanical punching using punches and dies, this is referred to as die-cutting waste. Although the material itself may seem insignificant, its accumulation and improper handling can have far-reaching implications.
In particular, improper handling of confetti can lead to contamination of the processed material, which, especially when food packaging is involved, can be reflected in contamination of the final packaged product.
Spark Machinery's solution to the problem of excess perforation waste
Spark Machinery is proud to introduce our innovative double-valve system for industrial macro perforators. With a second valve that "blows" die-cut waste from perforation directly into the air manifold, waste conveyance is optimized, reducing buildup and improving workflow.
Key advantages of this technology:
Optimized removal of residual material, contributing to better management of processing waste recycling.
Capability to process even the most challenging materials
Twice the speed of standard models
Increased frequency of perforation: 40-45 holes per second
Increased stability and twice as many air tanks
Can also be integrated into machines with standard perforation heads
