Packaging food products in bags made of recyclable paper

The LEAF packaging machine from KRONEN's partner GKS Packaging B.V. was developed especially for packaging food in paper bags. Products such as whole, unpeeled potatoes, carrots, onions or similar products can be packaged in pillow or block bottom bags with carrying holes. The bag width is adjustable between 190 mm and 400 mm, and the bag length is unlimited (is 480 mm per sealing step). The packaging material is recyclable, compostable paper made of an FSC® certified mono-material that does not absorb moisture from the packaged product and maintains its rigidity and structure. 

The packaging machine construction is modular and open, making the inside of the machine easily accessible for simple cleaning and maintenance. Some components are made from recycled ocean plastic. 

The machine can also be operated with conventional packaging film.
