IMA DAIRY & FOOD USA installed a sophisticated grinder to expedite the cutting tool sharpening process for its Zero Technology, a capability that helps food brands adopt sustainable, monomaterial cup packages, the company stated.
The Zero Technology process already featured minimized production downtime for change-outs, low spare part costs and a high number of punches between sharpenings. With grinding technology allowing for on-site sharpening of individual cutting teeth, downtime is further decreased for food brands seeking solutions for incorporating sustainable cup packaging materials, IMA noted.
