Capping & Packaging in the food industry, especially for coconut water products, represents the final stage in the production process where the product, once filled into bottles or other containers, is sealed and packaged for distribution.
The capping stage involves placing caps or seals on each package to ensure the cleanliness, freshness, and safety of the product until it reaches the consumer. After capping, these products are packed into secondary packaging such as boxes or cartons to protect them during transportation and storage.
Eonchemicals is ready to assist you with solutions to common problems, such as those listed below:
1. Problem: Printing Machine/Part Contaminated with Ink
During the capping and packaging stage for coconut water, issues with the printing machine or parts contaminated with ink can pose significant challenges. Leaking or accidentally spilled ink can adhere to machine surfaces or other components, disrupting normal operations and causing issues with label or code printing on the packaging.
Ink contamination not only affects machine cleanliness but can also result in inaccurate or blurred prints, which can confuse consumers and violate labeling quality standards. A special cleaner is needed!

2. Problem: Residual Glue Dirt on Labeling Machines
A common issue during the capping & packaging stage for coconut water is residual glue dirt sticking to the labeling machine. Glue residues left on the labeling machine can disrupt the tool’s performance, causing labels not to stick properly or making the packaging appear untidy.
If this problem is not properly addressed, it will reduce operational efficiency and increase the risk of production downtime. Find the solution below…

3. Problem: Grease/Oil on Chains Contaminating Products
In the capping and packaging unit, the issue of grease or oil contaminating products must be a primary concern as it can threaten the safety and quality of the final product.
Furthermore, this problem can alter the taste, appearance, and nutritional quality of the product, reducing consumer trust in the brand. Additionally, such contamination can result in products not meeting food safety quality standards.

4. Problem: Short Regreasing Period
A short regreasing period can be a significant issue. This indicates that the lubricant quickly degrades or cannot withstand the operational conditions faced.
A short regreasing period undoubtedly incurs high costs (wasteful). It can even lead to increased wear and damage risks on machines due to unstable lubricant performance.
Solution: LE Lubricant
LE Lubricant products are the right solution for the short regreasing period issue in the capping & packaging unit because these lubricants are specially designed to provide long-lasting and effective lubrication in challenging operational conditions.
