Novel Thermoform Tooling Helps PP Coffee Pods Float
Tool forms pods with extremely low material densities, allowing them to float and be recovered in water-separation recycling systems.
Working closely with parent company Kiefel, Bosch Sprang has developed new patent- pending thermoforming tooling for producing PP coffee pods with a material density of lower than 1 kg/m3, allowing them to be recycled in water-separation systems.
The new tooling system has been statistically analyzed as well as tested and can be adapted to most tilting bed style thermoforming machines, the companies say. Consequently, it does not r
