Refrigerated and Frozen Foods
Temperature Controlled Pouching Solutions from Cloud
After a brief lull, refrigerated and frozen foods are again growing. New films and improved packaging designs are driving consumer preference towards flexible pouches as the preferred format for multi-serving products.
The Shift to Frozen / Refrigerated Pouches Continue
Consumers and food service prefer the format for many categories
The market has spoken. The ultra-versatile, ultra-efficient flat bottom pouch is the preferred packaging format for a vast and growing number of refrigerated and frozen foods.
Size Matters
Characterized by larger, heavier and bulkier pouches than dry / ambient categories, frozen foods represent a unique manufacturing challenge.
Big bags and long fills slow things down dramatically
Most FFS machine performance, both horizontals and verticals, drops off rapidly as fill times rise.
Traveling Funnels solve slow fills
Cloud solves this with the innovative “Traveling Funnels” design of our Roberts HFFS machines. Rather than pausing the entire line, the Traveling Funnels move with the line, filling the package while the machine remains in motion.
The Traveling Funnels are a Cloud innovation first used on the Roberts lines. Others have tried to imitate them. No one can duplicate them.
Unique environment challenges
Low temperatures and hostile environments of low temperature packaging place additional burdens on equipment. Cloud’s Roberts lines are engineered to perform in this environment with fewer PMs, less downtime, film waste and product scrap.
