SUPERDRYPAK™

Just like our regular silica gel sachets, SUPERDRYPAK™ Continuous-Strip Sachets, can be filled with silica gel or molecular sieve desiccant.

Where they differ is that these continuous strip desiccant sachets are designed for use on high-speed packing lines, in conjunction with our PRONTOPACKER™ desiccant dispensers. They are not sold as individual silica gel sachets, but instead, they are left un-cut and are shipped to your site, on a large reels. This format enables them to be fed into a dispenser machine at high-speed, where they are cut and dropped into your product packs, as they move down your packaging line. This eliminates the tedious process of manual insertion, which helps you save money on labour costs, whilst at the time achieving higher production efficiency.

We supply these reel-based silica gel sachets in a number of sizes; from 0.25g to 5g, and with a number of different possible registration mark positions; that can integrate seamlessly with your current (or proposed) packaging machinery.

The use of continuous-strip packaging desiccants eliminates the tedious process of manual insertion – which helps our customers to save on labor costs, whilst also while achieving higher efficiency. This is a crucial step towards a fully-automated high-speed production line.

They are also designed for those manufacturers who already have high-speed lines and are looking to improve the reliability of their desiccant dispenser, via accuracy of the repeat-length tolerances of our sachets.

Their use (in combination with a PRONTOPACKER™ Dispenser) offers users greater flexibility of supply– because one is able to use a variety of different sachet registration types (e.g. window sachets, hole-punch sachets and/or ink mark sachets). Therefore, you are not limited to any one sachet type, or any one silica gel sachet provider.

Our continuous-strip product gives you the ability to accurately and speedily incorporate silica gel sachets into your bottles, boxes, and pouches – without having to resort to hand packing.

Compared to hopper feeding of individual silica gel sachets; our roll-fed sachets can be placed with greater precision into your pack (or neck of bottle) and at a pace that is unsurpassed. This is done by using a pick and place arm, that can be added-on to our PRONTOPACKER™ desiccant dispensers. Our “whole desiccant system” approach gives you lean packaging operations and high reliability.

The use of SUPERDRYPAK continuous strip desiccant sachets have been compared to regular silica gel sachets already. Their potential for high packing speed (of up to 150 packs per minute) make them as quick, if not quicker, than high speed desiccant canisters, but with the benefit of a low profile, low weight desiccant pack, that is both flexible and lower cost. This format will also desiccate the headspace more quickly than canisters (or desiccant plastics) due to our use of high-porosity Tyvek fabric, or other popular alternatives.

The typical format is: a continuous strips of sachets, of between 0.25g to 5.0g in desiccant weight, packed in Tyvek (or similar high-porosity fabric) which are then wound onto a fibreboard core.

The ends of this core have two fibreboard discs attached, that are designed to fit the unwind arm of the PRONTOPACKER™ Desiccant Dispenser or its Dry Box. This format ensures your strip of desiccants are wound evenly and held securely in place for better feeding.

The fixed external diameter of our completed reels means that the smaller the size of sachet used, the more sachets you can have on the reel. For instance, users requiring 0.5g silica gel sachets, can have up to 15,000 of them on their reel, while those users requiring 2.0g sachets, can have up to 6,000 silica gel sachets wound onto their reel.

Each roll of continuous-strip sachets comes packed in a high strength barrier foil bag, to ensure its desiccant capacity is kept intact until opening. This foil bag is then over-packed in a robust cardboard box; to ensure the foil (and your silica gel sachets) are not damaged during transit and/or storage.
