Press release from: Starlinger & Co. Ges.m.b.H.

The bottom and, if desired, the top of IC*STAR sacks are sealed by means of hot air using a closure strip.

The bottom and, if desired, the top of IC*STAR sacks are sealed by means of hot air using a closure strip.

In keeping with the motto “Sewing is the past”, this year’s exhibit by Starlinger & Co. Ges.m.b.H. at interpack in Duesseldorf will feature live production of IC*STAR (I = Innovative, C = Closing) sacks. These are produced on the new conversion line multiKON KX, equipped with the sealTEC bottom closing module developed by Starlinger in co-operation with the Austrian packaging systems manufacturer Statec Binder. The IC*STAR method involves the welding of a closure strip onto the sack bottom by means of hot air in a continuous process, without the need for glue. The sack mouth remains open and, after automated filling, can be either closed with another closure strip or sewn shut.
“The big advantage of IC*STAR sacks is that, unlike sewn sacks, they are sealed completely tight with the welded closure strip,” explains Hermann Adrigan, sales director for Starlinger. “The IC*STAR construction also practically eliminates the seam allowances required for sewn sacks, and greater strength in the sack bottom enables the use of lighter fabric. Both factors add up to cost savings in raw material – in this case polypropylene – and a reduction of the carbon footprint. Our customers are sensitive to these arguments.” The new process lends itself to production of coated or uncoated IC*STAR sacks, as well as sacks with gussets. Oil-free production makes them ideal for packaging food products such as rice, coffee, salt, sugar or flour in bulk quantities. Since the official market launch last October at the K exhibition in Duesseldorf, the first IC*STAR conversion lines have already been delivered and installed.

From bottle to sack – woven packaging for consumer goods from rPET flakes

Another focus of the Starlinger exhibit will be woven packaging from rPET flakes. This new technology developed by Starlinger is meeting with lively interest in the packaging sector: it uses material from used PET packaging such as bottles to produce tapes for weaving and, from these, big bags and sacks. Especially in consumer goods packaging, many stakeholders already place high priority on sustainability. “Sacks made from PET are noted for their specific characteristics such as stiffness, effective grease barrier and aroma protection. These make them the ideal packaging for all kinds of consumer goods,” comments Stéphane Soudais, general manager of Starlinger’s Consumer Bags Division. “PET is also one of the few types of plastic which enable closed loop production. With our technology we can make PET bottle flakes directly into woven tape fabric, which is then used in production of container bags or consumer goods packaging like the PP*STAR pinch bottom sack laminated with BOPET film. The rPET sacks are recyclable after use and can be used in the production of new sacks or for other applications.”

Note: PP*STAR® and IC*STAR® are registered trademarks. PP*STAR® and IC*STAR® sacks are produced exclusively on Starlinger machines.

Starlinger provides circular loom to Bangladesh University of Textiles
Modern teaching methods combine theory and practice. Austrian world market leader Starlinger recently provided the Bangladesh University of Textiles with a circular loom RX 6.0 for training purposes. In mid-2017, the Bangladesh University of Textiles was looking for a state-of-the-art circular loom that could be used in the training of its students. Given Starlinger’s leading position in the field, the university approached the Austrian engineering company with the request for an

A circular economy in plastic packaging is currently on everyone’s agenda. Clearly, the recycling of packaging saves raw material and reduces waste as well as CO2 emissions. At NPE, Starlinger will present two technologies that help advance closed loop packaging. Recycling is key in achieving a circular economy. But in order to be fit for reuse in production, recycled material needs to match the quality of virgin resin. The removal of

The Starlinger recoSTAR PET bottle-to-bottle recycling line which has been installed in April 2016 in the plastics recycling facility of Canadian water bottler Ice River Springs in Feversham, Ontario, is delivering excellent production results. Due to Nordson’s BKG® Flex Disc filter cartridge, which has been included for melt filtration, the production output is even higher than the values guaranteed in the acceptance protocol. Also the purge rate has been
