Moulded Pulp
Papierpulp, ook bekend als gevormde pulp of gevormde vezel, is het meest milieuvriendelijke materiaal voor verpakkingen. Het wordt vervaardigd uit 100% gerecycled karton en papier, waardoor oud papier nieuw leven krijgt. Pulp is niet alleen zeer duurzaam en stabiel, maar ook flexibel en ideaal voor het verpakken van waardevolle en breekbare goederen tijdens transport. Een betere bescherming bestaat niet.
Dankzij de juiste productietechnologieën kunnen we pulp in vrijwel elke gewenste vorm en dimensie gieten. Zo kunnen wij voor elk specifiek product op maat gemaakte verpakkingen creëren. Met behulp van de nieuwste technologieën en state-of-the-art machines produceren wij consistent verpakkingen van zeer hoge kwaliteit. Bovendien is het oppervlak van onze pulp producten glad en gelijkmatig, waardoor de verpakte producten niet beschadigd of bekrast raken.
We gebruiken 4 verschillende technologieën voor de productie van gevormde pulp verpakkingen:
Heavy Duty Pulp
Technical Pulp
Premium Pressed Pulp
Premium Thermoformed Pulp
Heavy Duty Pulp
Wij zijn het enige bedrijf in Europa met een productieproces dat specifiek gericht is op Heavy Duty producten. Dankzij onze unieke productietechniek kunnen we materiaaldiktes tot wel 6 mm bereiken, waardoor door pulp een zeer sterk en stijf product wordt. Hiermee kunnen zware lasten tot wel twee ton worden verpakt.
Toepassingen:
- Robuuste, zware producten
- Sterke bescherming tijdens transport
Voordelen:
- Zeer grote onderdelen mogelijk
- Hoogstmogelijke bescherming
Afmetingen:
- Max: 2.000 x 1.200 x 230 mm
- Materiaaldikte: 2.5 –6.0 mm
Process of production
heavy duty pulp products
Step 1
This pulper is specifically designed for heavy mixes. In a first step, corrugated waste paper gets dissolved in water. The paper fibres defibrilate and are ready to rebond into a new shape.
Step 2
The forming tool submerges into the pulp. Vacuum sucks the water through a stainless steel mesh. The fibres accumulate on the shaped surface of the tool. After the molding process is complete, the tool lifts up again and moves on to the drying oven.
Step 3
The forming tool drops the product on the belt of a drying oven. The remaining water within the product gets evaporated. The fibres form an integral bond so no glue or other additives are needed to make the finished product. After drying the product gets packed and is ready to use.
Technical Pulp
Our conventional production process is the best for choice for versatile and economic packaging solutions with a mid-range wall thickness. Using the most advanced production technologies worldwide, it is ideal for complex technical and protective packaging.
Application:
- Technical and protective packaging
- Packaging of complex geometries
Advantages:
- Large variety of possible applications
- Realisation of complex geometries
- Products can be designed to run on fully automated robot lines
Dimensions:
- Max: 2.000 x 1.200 x 230 mm
- Thickness: 2.5 –6.0 mm

Step 2
The forming tool submerges into the pulp. Vacuum sucks the water through a stainless steel mesh. The fibres accumulate on the shaped surface of the tool. After the molding process is complete, the tool lifts up again. The product gets passed on to a transfer tool, which molds the backside of the pulp product.
Step 3
The transfer tool drops the product on the belt of a drying oven. The remaining water within the product gets evaporated. The fibres form an integral bond so no glue or other additives are needed to make the finished product. After drying the product gets packed and is ready to use.
Premium Pressed Pulp
The high end finish production process is chosen for products that require very precise geometries and where the end user experience plays an important role. There are two production processes possible to create a high end finish: The first option is to after press conventionally made pulp products in a heated tool. This called post press method.
Application:
- Technical packaging
- Design packaging
Advantages:
- Very precise geometries possible
- Products are smooth on both sides
- Perfect customer experience
- Precise embossing possible
Dimensions:
- Max: 800 x 800 x 200 mm
- Thickness: 0.7 – 2 mm
Process of production
premium pressed products
Premium Pressed Pulp
The dry product comes out of the conventional process.
The product is placed onto a press tool – the top tool closes and the product is pressed at approximately 200°C. After a few seconds the tool opens again and the finished good is ready.
Premium Thermoformed Pulp
A second option is to dry the wet formed products directly in heated tools in line automatically producing super high quality smooth and precise finish. This process is called thermoforming method. We realise both production processes in our factories and advise our customers which process is best for a specific application.
Application:
- Technical packaging
- Design packaging
Advantages:
- Very precise geometries possible
- Products are smooth on both sides
- Perfect customer experience
- Precise embossing possible
Dimensions:
- Max: 800 x 800 x 200 mm
- Thickness: 0.7 – 2 mm

Premium Thermoformed Pulp
The molding process is the same as in conventional molding. However, instead of placing the wet product into the dryer, the product gets placed onto a hot press tool and is directly dried within the tool. With this process, the highest quality and best surface texture is achieved.
