Successful together: Mondi and ROVEMA combine competencies for the frozen food industry

Up to 130 pillow paper bags per minute for the frozen food industry

Rovema presents itself at Fachpack 2022 with a sophisticated and sustainable solution for packaging frozen food. A continuous ROVEMA REVO S machine will be shown: With the REVO series, ROVEMA now has even more to offer for the frozen food industry. The continuous form fill and seal machines of the REVO series have a modular design and are available as a simple version for small budgets up to a special machine with an inclined filling tube for particularly gentle packaging of fragile products. 
Convertible to continuous or intermittent packaging, the ROVEMA REVO can also reliably process demanding packaging materials such as paper. The ROVEMA REVO is available with Siemens or B&R machine control as standard. At Fachpack 2022, ROVEMA will showcase a pillow bag solution made of kraft paper with a water vapor barrier for the frozen food industry. A kraft paper from Mondi that can be disposed of via the paper recyclables stream is used.
Mondi's functional barrier papers are a sustainable packaging alternative, especially for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) applications, and can be used to replace plastic films and laminates. The application demonstrated at the show achieves output rates of up to 130 pillow bags per minute and can be retrofitted to existing REVO S machines.
*About Mondi Functional Barrier Paper*
Mondi's range of recyclable functional barrier paper solutions reduces the amount of plastic used by replacing it with a renewable raw material that has specific mechanical properties such as puncture resistance, flexibility, printability and barrier protection. The coating technologies applied to these papers create individual barriers against grease and water vapor and ensure sealability. 
Functional barrier paper can replace plastic packaging traditionally used for FMCG and consumer products and contributes to a circular economy by maintaining the use of raw materials through recycling. Paper is the most recycled material in the world - for example, 74% of paper and 83% of paper-based packaging in Europe is recycled.
The production of the functional barrier papers is fully integrated into Mondi's value chain - from paper production to barrier application - and can be used on existing filling lines for form-fill-and-seal (FFS) applications.
