at interpack 2020
IDM presents important new developments despite
the postponement of the trade fair
The interpack trade fair – the
most important international
event for the packaging industry
and related process
industries – originally scheduled
to take place in Düsseldorf from 7
to 13 May 2020 has been postponed until
next year. The new date is 25 February
to 3 March 2021.
In itself, this would have meant that
our pre-show reporting could have been
omitted. However, companies in the
packaging industry had prepared numerous
new developments for the trade
fair that are so interesting and important
that we decided to draw attention
to these innovations in this special, so
that interested readers are not deprived
of important impulses for their business.
ALPMA
Fresh, fresher, Fresh Pack
"Fresh Pack" is a new patented solution
for butter packaging by ALPMA. In contrast
to classic butter packaging, "Fresh
Pack" offers full product protection. The
all-round seal guarantees protection
against manipulation and creates consumer
confidence. In addition, the seal
protects the butter from oxygen, which
makes it much easier to retain the flavour
in the product. When the packaging
is opened, a fragrant experience is
created. Convenient tabs make it possible
to tear open the butter quickly and
easily.

ALPMA has also developed a system
that automatically inspects blocks
of cheese and detects every flaw and
every piece of foil. Thanks to modern
camera technology and a self-developed
algorithm, the system achieves
amazing results. During tests in a production
plant, the ALPMA inspection
device examined numerous cheese surfaces
and achieved a hit rate of almost
100 percent. There were no false detections.
The inspection is carried out
on all six sides.
Further innovations in cheese making
and process technology include the
ALPMA FORMATIC cheese portioning
system, the ALPMA Sulbana Pasta Filata
technology and the CreamoProt "Bar".
