Today, alternative packaging solutions must be just as efficient, flexible, and economical as conventional solutions. Fiber-based packaging meets precisely these requirements—and is ready for its industrial breakthrough. At interpack, Optima will demonstrate how far the technology has already come: market-ready, scalable, and capable of reliably producing high volumes. This is made possible by what is probably the most comprehensive technology portfolio in the industry – from dry molded fiber and paper forming to versatile paperboard solutions.
Our new machine platform takes design possibilities to a new level. It combines maximum performance with exceptional design freedom and, for the first time, enables the forming of paper and dry molded fiber on the same system – based on robust, proven Optima technology. Experience this innovation live at Interpack.
Dry molded fiber – forming fibers
In the dry molded fiber process, loose fibers are pressed into a mold to form a high-strength product.
Paperboard shape forming
With paper board technology, we offer a solution for manufacturing cup-shaped containers or cans—from cardboard blanks or rolls.
Forming paper
Our technology enables efficient and precise forming of paper and other moldable fiber-based materials. Both refined papers with barrier and sealing layers and various types of pulp and highly stretchable materials can be processed.
Barrier technologies
Our fiber-based technologies offer flexible solutions for a variety of barrier requirements—from protection against moisture, oil, and grease to high barriers against water vapor and oxygen.
Optima Dry Molded Fiber technology demonstrates for the first time that DMF can now be scaled economically on an industrial scale.
