- Alternative packaging unit 102 ( Figure 3) comprises bottom part 104 with front surface 106, two side surfaces 108, back side 110, and bottom side 112.
- cover part 114 is hingedly connected with hinge 116 to bottom part 104 to allow cover part 114 to move relatively to bottom part 4 between an open and a closed position.
- Cover part 114 further comprises front surface 118, two side surfaces 120, back side surface 122 and top surface 124.
- bottom part 104 product receiving compartments 126 are provided having contours matching at least partially the outer contours of the products, like eggs, kiwis and tomatoes, for example.
- Support cones 128 are provided to add stability and strength to packaging unit 102.
- Lock 130 comprises opening 132 in cover part 114 and cam 134 of bottom part 104.
- packaging unit 102 is provided with a label.
- the package 102 is made from foamed moulded fiber material containing a substantial amount of grass fibers, for example 50%, or 80%, or 90% or 95%.
- Reinforcing elements comprise groove 138 with starting position 140 at top 124 of cover part 114 and ending position 142 at front surface 118 of cover part 114.
- Alternative reinforcing elements that may be applied in combination with grooves 138 comprise strengthening rods, rims and/or protrusions.
- Fibers 148 in the illustrated embodiment grass fibers, are provided in the foamed packaging material. After drying, some of the (grass) fibers 150 may protrude from a package surface, including the surface of compartment 126, that protrude to such an extent that separate (grass) fibers can be distinguished by sight and/or touch. In compartment 126 protruding fibers 150 provide a cushioning effect that may further contribute to the reduction of product damage.
- These longer (grass) fibers 148, 150 have a length of about 25 mm.
- the longer (grass) fibers 148, 150 have a length such that the fibers are able to float on a foamed fiber pulp or pulp mix during manufacturing, which enables that during moulding these long fibers are positioned at the package surface.
- These protruding fibers 50 even more improve the appealing effect of the package 102.
- Fibers 150 protrude even more from a package inside surface also because that inside surface is determined by the suction side of a mould. This suction side of a mould is a well known concept in manufacturing a moulded fiber food packaging.
- grass fibers is contained in a pulp container also referred to as storage tank and also known as thick stock tank.
- storage tank also known as thick stock tank.
- the process of moulding a moulded fiber package is not described here since this is known per se. Such a process of moulding a moulded fiber package is fed with the fiber pulp mix from the pulp container.
- the foamed pulp comprises lignocellulosic biomass not originating from wood, wherein in the illustrated embodiment the lignocellulosic biomass contains between 0 to 2% protein in dry weight.
- the method comprises pre-processing of the lignocellulosic biomass involving a number of steps. Depending on the product all steps are required or, alternatively only some steps need to be performed optionally with further steps. This pre-processing may be done on site or (partly) elsewhere. When the lignocellulosic biomass is pre-processed elsewhere, the lignocellulosic biomass fibers may be added directly to the pulp mix.
- the pre-processing comprises soaking the lignocellulosic biomass in water for a soaking period of at least 1 day preferably at least 2 days.
- the pre-processing comprises cutting the lignocellulosic biomass, preferably before the soaking, for obtaining visible lignocellulosic biomass fibers having a length such that the visible lignocellulosic biomass fibers may surface on the fiber pulp mix.
- the pre-processing in the illustrated embodiment comprises refining the visible lignocellulosic biomass fibers for facilitating interaction between the fiber pulp and the visible lignocellulosic biomass fibers in the pulp mix.
- the refining is performed in a refining device (not shown) comprising a number of refiner discs arranged at a mutual disc distance.
- the degree of refining the visible lignocellulosic biomass fibers is set by adjusting the disc distance between 0.5 and 1.5 mm.
- the refining of the visible lignocellulosic biomass fibers is done at a concentration of between 10 kg to 75 kg, preferably about 25 kg visible lignocellulosic biomass fibers in dry weight, per 1000 litre of water.
- An example of such a refiner is a Sprout Waldron disc refiner.
- the lignocellulosic biomass Before providing the lignocellulosic biomass, the lignocellulosic biomass may be processed for removing protein from the lignocellulosic biomass such that the lignocellulosic biomass contains between 0 to 2% protein in dry weight. This process is not shown here.
- colouring agents/pigments can be added.
- additional components can be added, for example including dewatering polymers.
- the fiber material is provided with foaming agent and a foamed mouldable fiber material is provided.
- the forming process forms form this material a packaging unit.
- a drying operation is performed to produce the packaging unit from foamed moulded fiber material.
- hybrid pack 2 can be manufactured from lignocellulosic biomass and packaging unit 102 from a moulded fiber origination from recycled paper and cardboard.
- a conventional water-forming manufacturing process was performed with 135 g recycled fibers and 16865 g water achieving a 0.8% consistency.
- a foam manufacturing process was performed with 116 g of the same fiber material, 20 g foaming agent and 8364 g water achieved a pulp consistency of about 1.4%. After performing the foam forming process the resulting packaging unit of foamed moulded fiber material showed a 6.2- 6.5% higher dryness after forming.
- the packaging unit according can be applied to eggs and other vulnerable food and non-food products as well as to other products.
- Non-limiting examples of products include eggs, vegetables, fruit, electronic products such as DVD players, displays, mobile phones, tablets etc.
