This BMB injection moulding machine has a closing force of 700 tons and an 8500 injection unit. The injection moulding machine is hybrid and is therefore completely electric with the exception of the injection stroke. This machine is at least 30% more energy efficient than its predecessor.
The machine will be used mainly for the production of our 10 liter buckets that can be fully personalized by means of an In-Mould Label. In addition, this machine is prepared to be able to produce the handles in the same production run so that this can eventually be even more automated.
The current machine remains in our machinery but moves to Almelo. This expands the production capacity in Almelo.
BRC Packaging
BRCGS is a standard for food safety. The standard describes the hygiene and food safety requirements for food processing companies that supply directly to the retail sector. You can also think of packaging materials for foodstuffs.
FSSC 22000
The FSSC 22000 Standard has been created through Stichting Certificatie Voedselveiligheid (SCV). As a food-oriented version of the ISO 22000 Standard, this certification programme has been set up as a global guideline in food safety and quality within various industries. This standard is aimed at the entire production chain and as such, it is ideally suited for international harmonisation, partly thanks to the recognition by the GFSI. In addition to its connection with ISO 22000, the FSSC 22000 has many comparisons with the HACCP criteria, making it an attractive variant with the best of both worlds from these programmes. Thanks to the internationally accepted nature of the FSSC and the chain-wide approach within this certification programme, we recognise a strong food safety management system in this standard.
