Until now, coffee beans have been packed in classic PET/aluminium composite packaging materials due to their high barrier requirements. The tested polypropylene packaging material offers excellent aroma protection in combination with a fat, oil and oxygen barrier and can be fully recycled as a mono packaging material. Additional light protection through metallization is available as an option.
During an application test, 500 g coffee beans were packed sustainably with a continuously operating BVC 260 Vertical Form, Fill and Seal machine with an output of up to 60 bags/minute. The repeat length was 280 mm.
With additional valve application, up to 55 cycles can be achieved for the same application
