Definitions
- a laser coded fold wrapped food concentrate tablet A laser coded fold wrapped food concentrate tablet
- the present invention relates to a process for making a laser coded fold wrapped food concentrate tablet. Further aspect of the invention is a laser coded fold wrapped food concentrate tablet .
- the printing on the packaging material is commonly done after wrapping the food concentrate tablets.
- the ink printing is done on a packaged food product, which has direct contact to the food product, the ink has to be food compliant. This means that no harmful subst nces which if ingested cou health problems are allowed. In addition that no possible harmful substances are allowed many times the water level of inks are too high due to which the needed viscosity is not reached causing the ink to create smear patch and contamination with ink of the used machines. New methods have been tested to improve this printing method or for obtaining a different method of applying ink but until now, no ideal printing technique has been evolved.
- the object of the present invention is to improve the state of the art or at least provide an alternative to code a fold wrapped food concentrate tablet.
- the objective is to provide a coded fold wrapped food concentrate tablet and process to make such coded food concentrate tablet: i) no contaminants release of the coding e.g. ink; ii) no smearing of the coding; iii) no contamination of food due to coding; iv) no coding residues to machineries; v) no contamination to fingers of operators; vi) less
- the present invention provides in a first aspect a process for coding a fold wrapped food concentrate tablet comprising the steps of:
- the invention relates to a coded fold wrapped food concentrate tablet, wherein the coding is made by laser ablating of a packaging material.
- the invention relates to a coded fold wrapped food concentrate tablet obtained by the described process .
- laser ablating a code on a packaging material of a fold wrapped food concentrate tablet has certain advantages.
- the coding is very good readable and there is no possible smearing. There is no abrasion of the coding during further packaging processing steps even the coding is done before fold wrapping the food concentrate product. Also no drying step has to be considered which reduce production time.
- the laser ablating can be performed within a high speed fold wrapping packaging process. Also there will be no contamination of machineries or the food concentrate tablet itself with a coding material e.g. with an ink. Moreover, the laser ablating can be done in any
- the present invention pertains to a process for coding a fold wrapped food concentrate tablet comprising the steps of:
- food concentrate tablet refers to a bouillon or seasoning tablet or to a chocolate and malt tablet, preferably to a bouillon or seasoning tablet.
- laser ablating refers to a coding wherein the laser removes material to create depth which change the color, contrast or reflectivity of the surface.
- laser ablating at least a printing layer of the packaging material is removed.
- laser ablating a printing layer and also the metallization layer of the packaging material is removed.
- code refers to any digit, letter, character, number, symbol and/or logo. In an embodiment the coding refers to an expiry date, production number, batch number and/or manufacturing date.
- the principles of laser coding involves reflecting an intense light beam off mirrors, through a stencil, and onto the material to be coded.
- the laser beam generated by a gas (e.g. C02) or solid state type of laser is guided onto the surface to be coded via a 2- axis beam guidance optic situated about 50 -200 mm above the surface allowing a coding field being of size 50 x 50 - 200 x 200 mm.
- the code itself has a size of 1 to 4 mm height and width.
- the area of the surface to be coded is shielded with a Laser safety housing.
- the safety housing is connected with a fume extractor in a way that within a continuous air flow the gases generated by the coding process are transported to the filter equipped fume extractor.
- the wavelength of the laser is between 0.4ym to llym, preferably between lym to llym.
- the position of the laser coding is controlled by means of a print-mark sensor and the speed by means of an encoder.
- fold wrapped refers to a process of folding a packaging material around a food concentrate (tablet)
- tablette means a tablet or cube obtained by pressing a free flowing food concentrate powder into a tablet or cube form.
- packaging material refers to a plastic film and/or paper film.
- the packaging material comprises a printed metallized plastic film and/or a printed paper based film.
- printed refers to at least one printing layer of color at the plastic film and/or paper based film.
- metalized refers to at least one metal layer within the packaging material, preferably it refers to an aluminum layer.
- the packaging material is a plastic film, especially for packaging rectangular objects such as stock cubes, comprising a base film which is
- metallized preferably with aluminum
- OPP oriented polypropylene
- PET terephthalate
- OPE oriented polyethylen
- an opaque and oriented polypropylene film (OPP) is used as the base film, preferably including a white cavitated OPP and clear OPP skin.
- the opacity of the base material film is done by orientation of the polymer and by adding fillers. The cavitation are, produced by adding fillers and/or air into the film.
- the packaging material has a thickness of 10 to lOOym, preferably 20 to 80ym.
- the packaging material is a plastic film that has a base film which consists of an opaque and oriented polyproplyene (OPP) .
- This base film is provided with metallization on one side.
- the metallization is coated with a primer on its side facing away from the base film, inks are then applied on the primer.
- a pattern of sealing lacquer is applied to this printing, helping the film to be sealed at higher temperature.
- An over lacquer is printed in the area where no seal lacquer is applied .
- the invention further relates to a coded fold wrapped food concentrate tablet, wherein the coding is made by laser ablating of a packaging material.
- thermos- inject (TIJ) coding by printing a stop is needed at least once a day and normally at least every 8 hours.
- continuous inject (CIJ) coding by printing a stop is needed at least every week to clean the machinery.
- CIJ continuous inject
- Using a laser coding avoids planned production stoppages.
- the laser coding decrease the environmental impact caused by empty ink cartridges or ink barrels.
- the ink coding is done before the fold wrapping a further likelihood of abrasion of the coding within the followed processing steps, e.g. using rollers, is given and the drying time of the ink has to be considered in the further processing steps.
- a packaging material comprising a printed Al-metallized plastic film with oriented polypropylene (OPP) has been laser coded by removing the ink layer of the plastic film using a CO2-20W-9.3ym-laser .
- OPP oriented polypropylene
- Example 1 fulfilled all objectives discussed above (see i)-xi)) compared to a coding with ink.
- Examples 2.1 and 2.2 have been laser coded before wrapping the bouillon tablet. All examples will result in a shelf stable product for several months (at least 3 months) . Nevertheless as can be shown within example 2.1 (laser coded within an overlapping area) the moisture uptake is only the half
- example 2.1 guarantees the same shelf- life of a laser coded bouillon tablet as a not laser coded bouillon tablet.
