CHEMISTRY IN BAG IN BOX

THE FUTURE FOR THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

 

 

Sulfuric acid, used as an electrolyte for industrial batteries, was one of the first products packed in bag-in-box that we know well today. In the era of the packaging revolution, in the 80’s, bag in box packaging was used mainly in the food industry, and since then, its increasing share in the packaging process has been observed. In the era of another packaging revolution dictated by environmental considerations, the dynamic development of modern and safe raw materials and the growing pro-ecological awareness of consumers, a dynamic increase in the share of flexible bag-in-box packaging for packaging chemicals in a broad sense is observed.

 

Why bag in box? Safety, Economy and Environment!

Safety.

The list of chemicals is extensive. Currently, it is possible to pack substances such as adhesives, oils, chemicals, detergents, lubricants, paints or goods from the cosmetics industry, such as conditioners, lotions, shampoos and creams, into bag in box. All these products are demanding and often dangerous. The list is not exhaustive and there is an ever-growing interest in flexible packaging by chemical manufacturers from various industries.

Research and Development Centre BIBP Sp. z o.o. and its multidisciplinary, experienced team ensures that the process of selecting bag in box packaging is carried out in accordance with the standards that guarantee safety at every stage of the process: filling, storage, transport and distribution, use and disposal of empty packaging. Working in accordance with the PMI standard and Product Part Approval Process (PPAP) guarantees that the highest quality and safety standards will be met at every stage of the selection of packaging for chemicals, and that the entire creation process will be transparent and understandable to each of the parties.

The ability to access modern raw materials, quality control methods and analytical tools allows you to select components that meet the requirements of the market. The selection of materials takes into account the preservation of strength parameters measured by tests: flex cracking, drop test, burst test, etc. Great attention is paid to the stability of raw materials during the entire life cycle of the product (also when filled), through the use of aging tests, mechanical degradation, and microscopic analysis. It is important whether the packaging is subject to the ADR convention and if so, the design process takes into account the stringent requirements for this type of packaging. It is also worth mentioning a number of valves and taps compatible with the bag in box, thanks to which the dosing of the product is accurate, fast and safe, which is a key feature when dealing with products presenting a potential risk. Access to a wide base of suppliers gives extensive possibilities in the selection of taps and closures, depending on the density, viscosity and properties of a given product and the method of its dosing desired by the customer.

Economy.

Bag in box closures allow for easy and problem-free dosing of the product, thus there is no excessive draining or sticking of the medium. It is also related to the fact that during use there is no risk of air or any contaminants getting inside the packaging, therefore the product does not foam and does not splash. Another factor influencing performance is the fact that the bag’s flexible material allows its contents to be almost completely emptied. This is not possible when using standard containers, often of fancy shape, where a large amount of product is wasted and thrown away by being left inside. From a broader perspective, also the transport and storage in a bag in box are much more efficient. The shape of the cuboid as represented by the bag in box minimizes the so-called dead space, whether in a warehouse or on a pallet, and at the same time maximizes the transport capacity. On the other hand, empty, used packages are folded practically flat, so even after using the product, they do not take up unnecessary space.

Environment.

Another argument in favor of choosing a bag in box is that these bags have a significant impact on the waste management process.

BIB contains a much smaller amount of plastic compared to standard packaging (at least 60% less) while maintaining similar strength parameters. The individual components of bag in box packaging are recyclable even in 100%.

It is estimated that a HDPE canister with a volume of 5 dm³ (228 pieces on a EUR pallet) takes up a volume of 1.5 m³ before and after use, with the generated waste mass of approx. 35 kg (HDPE – 32.3, PP – 2.7 kg) . The same amount of empty 5 dm³ bag in box takes about 0.05 m³, and after use, these bags take about 0.077 m³ with a weight of about 10 kg PE. In this simple example, the mass of waste is 4 times smaller, and the volume of waste is nearly 20 times smaller. Of course, the costs associated with the transport of empty packaging, which are also significant, were not taken into account. Taking into account also the fact that the bag in box has a much smaller mass and occupies a smaller area, its transport and storage is more efficient. More efficient transport means lower fuel consumption, which in turn leads to less carbon dioxide emissions. Compared to bag-in-box with rigid packaging, the energy consumption is lower at every stage of production, use and disposal, and thus a lower carbon footprint during the production, filling, transport and recycling of packaging. Using dedicated tools (eg Carbon Footprint Calculator) it is possible to calculate specific values ​​for the compared types of packaging.

It should be noted that the current production technology and the development process of these packaging places great emphasis on the selection of materials so that their reuse does not generate additional costs and technological challenges. In the design process, the use of multi-material laminates is abandoned, the separation process of which is sometimes technologically impossible, the excessive amount of prints and varnishes is eliminated by replacing them with cardboard packaging (100% recyclable or reusable), and materials that would hinder the process of separate collection and processing (multi-material plastic details).

In summary

The current technological possibilities in the field of the production of bag in box provide wide opportunities for the development of packaging for the chemical industry. Based on the data from the “Bag in Box Container” report by the economic intelligence agency Grand View Research (2020, USA), dynamic development of this type of packaging is forecasted in the years 2020-2027 by up to 7% annually.

For companies and organizations consciously striving to improve the environment around us, bag in box packaging by:

• improving the dosing efficiency
• reduction of product losses
• maintaining product quality
• safe storage of the product
• optimization of logistics costs
• significantly lower amount of generated waste

are the perfect solution. These are the functionalities of our bag in box.

1. DAY OF FRUIT

 

July 1 is the International Fruit Day.

 

It was initiated by German students in 2007. This holiday is aimed primarily at people who care about their health and promote a healthy lifestyle. Its main assumption was to eliminate all interpersonal barriers by sharing fruit, and thus creating solidarity and intercultural bond.

It is recommended to eat 5 portions of fruit a day – our team did this task above the norm on that day 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. ACTION #GASZYNCHALLENGE

At the end of June, our company was nominated to take part in the #gaszynchallenge campaign. This action is to help raise money for people who need this help the most. The rules are very simple, nominees must perform 10 push-ups or sit-ups. In case of success, they pay a minimum of PLN 5 to the selected bank account, if they fail, the minimum is PLN 10. Finally, in order to popularize the campaign, another 3 people must be assigned to the task. So we rolled up our sleeves and eagerly took up the challenge.

You can see the coverage of this event on our FB profile:

3. BYDGOSZCZ INDUSTRIAL CLUSTER

We are pleased to announce that at the end of July we became a member of the Bydgoszcz Industrial Cluster. The organization in its ranks includes companies from the tool industry and plastics processing. The main goal is to integrate the environment of toolmakers and processors by creating a network of business relations. This, in turn, helps to develop technologically.

 

 

4. CLEAN ROOM

For a long time our production has been carried out in the Ultra Clean standard. CLEAN ROOM is a place where environmental parameters are controlled, thanks to which an adequate low concentration of solid pollutants in the air is ensured. Continuous filtration of the air inside makes the bag-in-box produced in this standard ideal for storing products that are poured aseptically or after the pasteurization process. The interior of such a room is filled with air, which is forced through a special system of HEPA filters that eliminate any fractions of pollutants. Employees who want to get to the room are obliged to go through the airlock and be dressed in special protective suits, additionally they are also equipped with masks, gloves and shoe covers.

220 LITER BAG IN BOX BAGS

THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PROCESSING

 

There are a lot of fruit and vegetable processing companies on the Polish and international market. In Poland, it is estimated that it could be over 300 companies. These companies largely deal with the widely understood processing of fruit and vegetables into various components, such as concentrates, juices, nectars, pulp, jams and others. Fruit and vegetable raw materials are subjected to various technological processes, then preserved by thermal methods and poured into packaging. The question immediately arises, what packaging is ideally suited for storing such products?

Among the many types of packaging available on the market, BAG IN BOX with a capacity of 220 liters are becoming increasingly popular. This is due to a number of their features and properties, among others favorable price-to-volume ratio and value of the stored product, hygiene of use and guarantee of quality and safety of use. Thanks to the low weight of the packaging and reduction of waste management costs by up to 90%, these products are environmentally friendly.

Manufacturers choose the packaging based on the product stored in it and the available machinery park, thanks to which it is possible to fill the packaging. Thus, they meet all the requirements of the target customer.

Currently, there are two main 220L bags standards on the Polish and foreign market, which take into account the barrier properties of plastics. Material barrier means its ability to limit the amount of vapor and gas permeability. There are 220L bags, so-called high barrier (HB) and bags with a standard barrier (STD).

HB and STD bags can be filled using the technology:

• aseptic filling
• hot filling

 

A single 220L bag is made of a number of properly selected raw materials, each of which has specific functions. The inside of the bag is made of LLDPE type foil with very good welding and mechanical properties. They enable the formation of durable peripheral seals, which protects the packaging against tearing and deformation. On the other hand, the outer foil is a material with barrier properties, effectively protecting the packaging against uncontrolled migration of gases from the environment or from inside the packaging. This ensures that the product’s organoleptic properties, i.e. taste, aroma and freshness, are maintained. The second important feature of the outer films is ensuring the desired mechanical properties of the packaging, i.e. resistance to cracking, tearing and deformation. This allows you to cope with high loads that arise when it spills up to 250 liters of fluids of different densities.

 

 

 

 

There are 2 groups of materials for the outer shell of 220L bags

• coextruded foils with EVOH functional barrier (transparent) – mainly adapted for hot-filling products and for freezing.
• laminated foils with a barrier based on metalized PET – a thermal film sealing process is used for the production of laminated film. It guarantees high foil strength. An additional advantage of this film is that it 100% cuts off the flow of light into the bag.

Flanges are an integral part of the 220L bag. A popular standard is the 1 “flange with a plug. The common name of this closure – ELPO, comes from the name of the Italian company that proposed this solution as one of the first in the 80’s. Currently, the standard 1 “flanges (so-called ELPO) and the pouring machine heads adapted to them are common. The 1 “flange is characterized by very low thermal expansion and high thermal resistance (especially during combined sterilization of the flange). Both the flange and the plug are delivered in a closed position. This guarantees complete asepticity of such packaging. In addition, depending on the type of machine that spills the product, these flanges come in two forms: one-ring and two-ring. In addition to standard flanges, we also make bag in box with specialized types of closures, which are dedicated to a specific technological line and product filling process.

The outer dimensions of the bag are chosen so that they can be freely arranged both in a standard 250 liter barrel and in a cardboard barrel (octabine).

At the Research and Development Center of BIBP Sp. z o.o. a detailed comparative analysis was carried out of the 220 liter bag in box packaging available on the Polish market. Strengths and weaknesses of the offered packaging were determined using various measuring and analytical techniques. Then, the data collected from these analyzes were used to develop with our suppliers the best raw materials for the production of such components, so that the packaging we offer meet their requirements. At the same time, we aim to continuous improvement of used raw materials and technological solutions.

The process of developing bag in box packaging began in our company in 2014 and it is still being improved. After hundreds of experiments, research and consumer tests, we can clearly state that our products are of the highest quality and meet the expectations of end users. We have developed a fully repeatable and reproducible production process, which means that the highest standards of supervision are maintained at both the raw material supply stage, ongoing production, quality control and sterilization. The control covers, among others, temperature, quality of peripheral and flange seals, foil strength and lamination strength, friction coefficient and film thickness are tested. Periodically, drop tests and micro-crack tests are also carried out using the Gelbo Test method.

The whole production process is covered by a qualitative monitoring using the PN ISO 2859-1 standard and maintaining the highest hygiene and safety standards under the BRC Packaging v 6. standard. The 220L bag can be directly used for filling a range of products with high density, concentration and low water activity. We recommend storing products in them that are spilled after pasteurization or will be frozen at later stages of processing. The company BIBP Sp. z o.o. also provides bags fully adapted for spilling under aseptic conditions.

The types of foods that can be found in such packaging are almost limitless. Our bags are used in packaging not only domestic fruit and vegetable processing products, but also in the process of packaging citrus (orange juice and concentrate, lemon juice and others) and tropical (mango, papaya, kiwi, guava, pineapple). The raw materials selected at the design stage ensure that products packed in bags with very low acidity, high content of coloring pigments and high enzymatic activity can be safely poured and transported even between different continents and geographical zones. Our packaging can also be used to store products such as chokeberry (juice, concentrate), blueberry or red wine.

The high level of production hygiene and the validated radiation sterilization process guarantee that also vegetable products such as carrots, parsley, celery and potato can be safely stored in our 220L packaging. The table below presents the recommended combinations of a given type of food product and a specific type of 220L bag.

Last but not least, the possibility of storing dairy products in them, which require not only filling under aseptic conditions but also freezing.

BIBP sp.z o.o. having a stable product for the most demanding customers of the sector, wanting to still develop, it is constantly working on expanding the offer of 220L bags. Recently, she completed work on packaging, which replaced the commonly used metallized PET laminate, a special material that further reduces the cost of waste management and makes the 220L metallized bag fully recyclable. Companies interested in this solution are welcome to contact us.

To sum up, the 220L bag in box, designed and manufactured entirely by the polish company, is a response to the growing demand for this type of packaging. Thus, it meets the highest standards on the international market. This is reflected in the opinions of our clients – leaders in the fruit and vegetable processing industry – who continually entrust us with all their production. For us as a company where customer needs are always put first, it is a reason for great satisfaction and motivation, which leads to continuous development and improvement.
