Sustainable techniques designed to improve packaging recyclability and minimize plastic usage. At Fruit Logistica 2025, MULTIVAC will address the new PPWR regulations with innovative solutions like TopSEAL, TopCLOSE™, and TopWRAPTM. These systems provide efficient, high-quality, fully plastic-free packaging and help companies comply with regulations. Smart technologies and automation enhance sustainability and production efficiency.
MULTIVAC offers solutions for efficiently and attractively packaging potatoes, vegetables, and fruit, suitable for both small and large businesses. At the event, a fully automated packaging line will be showcased, including the TX 710 tray sealer. This system packages berries in cellulose trays sealed with compostable film. With sensors and advanced control technology, quality and efficiency are maintained while waste is minimized. MULTIVAC Smart Services enables real-time production monitoring and optimization.
The MULTIVAC TopCLOSE™ system uses labeling machines to seal cardboard trays with transparent labels. These labels seal the packaging while also serving as labels. Adhesive is applied only to the edges, ensuring food safety. With less than 10% plastic and fully plastic-free options, this system offers a sustainable solution. The L 330 conveyor belt labeler processes up to 250 packages per minute, reducing labor costs and boosting efficiency.
For products like mushrooms and strawberries, the MULTIVAC TopWRAPTM system seals trays with a transparent film label on three sides. This system also keeps plastic usage under 10%, with a cellulose version available for fully plastic-free packaging. The L 310 conveyor belt labeler ensures rapid processing of up to 150 packages per minute.
Both labelers can be easily adjusted to different tray formats without the need for tool changes. Automation options and continuous labeling capabilities further enhance efficiency.
MULTIVAC provides complete packaging solutions that help businesses meet EU packaging and packaging waste (PPWR) regulations while contributing to a more sustainable fruit and vegetable sector.
