Case Study: Seafood Shrinkwrap Packaging Solution
This project presented one of the more unusual applications for Kempner’s shrink wrap machinery and material services. A large seafood processor approached us with two specific packaging requirements: wrapping seafood where meat had been removed from the shell and repacked, and shrink wrapping meat on its own in a tray. Our expertise in packaging machinery and shrink plastic allowed us to provide an ideal solution.
Client Needs and Challenges
The seafood processor faced distinct challenges:
- Shell-Free Seafood Packaging: Efficiently and securely wrapping seafood after the meat had been removed from the shell.
- Tray Packaging: Shrink wrapping meat placed in trays to ensure product integrity and shelf appeal.
- Durability: Ensuring the packaging could withstand the rigours of transport and handling while maintaining product quality.
- Contamination Prevention: Sealing the products to prevent contamination and degradation caused by exposure to air.
The client required a cost-effective, durable, and visually appealing packaging solution that could handle different types of seafood products.
Solution: Seafood shrink wrap Packaging Machinery
After evaluating the client’s needs, Kempner recommended the use of a semi-automatic combined L-sealer and shrink tunnel along with Ultra JC shrink film. This combination provided a comprehensive and cost-effective solution to meet all their packaging requirements.
Key Features of the Semi-Automatic Combined L-Sealer and Shrink Tunnel
- Adaptability: Suitable for various seafood products, ensuring flexibility in packaging operations.
- Efficiency: Streamlined packaging process that maintains high output and consistent quality.
- Contamination Prevention: Creates a sealed package to protect products from contamination and degradation.
Implementation Process
The integration of the semi-automatic combined L-sealer and shrink tunnel with Ultra JC shrink film involved several key steps:
- Initial Assessment: Detailed analysis of the seafood processor’s specific requirements and operational constraints.
- Custom Solution Design: Recommending the appropriate machinery and shrink film to meet these needs.
- Installation: Seamless setup of the packaging equipment with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
- Training: Comprehensive training for the processor’s staff to ensure efficient operation and maintenance of the new packaging system.
- Testing and Optimisation: Conducting thorough testing to ensure optimal performance, followed by adjustments to fine-tune the packaging process.
Results and Benefits
The implementation of Kempner’s packaging solution delivered significant benefits for the seafood processor.
Enhanced Packaging Quality
The combination of the L-sealer and shrink tunnel ensured that all packages met the required standards before mass production, reducing waste and maintaining a consistent quality. The Ultra JC shrink film’s toughness and puncture resistance provided robust protection for the seafood products, ensuring they remained intact and appealing.
