1. Manufacturing Process: From Pulp to Pallet
1.1 Raw Material Selection
VidePak sources FSC-certified kraft paper (60–120 GSM) and virgin PP resin (melt flow index 2–4 g/10min) to balance strength and eco-credentials.
Quality Control:
- Paper moisture: 6–8% (ISO 287)
- PP purity: 99.98% (GPC analysis)
1.2 Paper Lamination
Our Starlinger RX 8.1 lamination lines apply:
- Adhesive: 18 g/m² EVA hot melt (DIN 53359)
- Bond strength: 3.2 N/cm (ASTM D906)
Engineer Insight: “We use corona treatment to boost paper-PP adhesion by 40% compared to industry averages.”
1.3 Woven Fabric Production
VidePak’s Starlinger viscotec systems produce:
- Denier range: 500–1,200D for tailored tear resistance
- Weave density: 12×12 to 18×18 picks/inch (ISO 4910)
Quality Control:
- Tensile strength: 45 MPa (warp) / 38 MPa (weft)
- Air permeability: 20–50 CFM (ASTM D737)
1.4 Bag Conversion
Our W&H VAREX II bag machines execute:
- Seam welding: 8 mm double-fold with 45 g/m² PP tape
- Valve insertion: 100% automated for ±1 mm precision
Client ROI: A UAE construction firm reduced seam failures by 87% using VidePak’s heat-sealed bags.
2. Quality Assurance: From Lab Tests to Field Trials
2.1 Burst Strength Testing
VidePak’s Mullen Burst Testers apply:
- Pressure: 600 kPa (87 psi) for 30 seconds
- Acceptance criteria: 0% leakage at 550 kPa
Certification: SGS Report #CN-SGS-2023-812 confirms compliance with ASTM D7759.
2.2 UV Accelerated Aging
Our Q-Lab QUV/se chambers simulate:
- 1,200 hours: Equivalent to 24 months Florida exposure
- Color retention: ΔE ≤2.0 (BYK-Gardner)
2.3 Stacking Resistance
VidePak’s Topload Testers validate:
- Load capacity: 5–50 kg (3-layer stacking)
- Deflection: <5 mm at maximum load (ISO 21898)
3. Equipment Excellence: Starlinger and W&H Technologies
3.1 Starlinger’s Precision Engineering
VidePak’s RX 8.1 lamination lines deliver:
- Line speed: 150 m/min (paper-PP bonding)
- Energy efficiency: 18% lower than industry benchmarks
Case Study: A Brazilian recycler achieved 22% faster throughput using Starlinger’s auto-tension control.
3.2 W&H’s Automation Leadership
Our VAREX II bag machines feature:
- Cycle time: 0.8 seconds/bag (12,000 bags/hour)
- Changeover: 15 minutes (vs. 45-minute industry average)
4. Client Success Stories: Waste Management ROI
4.1 UAE Construction Contractor: Reducing Disposal Costs
Challenge: Frequent bag failures increased landfill tipping fees.
Solution: VidePak’s 50 kg-rated bags with reinforced valve seams.
