The packaging process for coconut milk plays a crucial role in maintaining the product’s quality, safety, and shelf life. Coconut milk, being a perishable food item, requires packaging that can protect it from microbial contamination, oxidation, and light exposure.

It is important to note that several problems are commonly encountered in this process. Below are some of these problems along with solutions from Eonchemicals for you.

1. Problem: Printing Machine/Parts Contaminated with Ink

Printing machines or their parts contaminated with ink during the coconut milk packaging process can cause various negative impacts. Ink residue on the machine can lead to blockages and mechanical malfunctions, which in turn reduce production efficiency and increase maintenance costs.

Ink contamination can also affect the print quality on the packaging, resulting in blurry or inconsistent prints that reduce the product’s visual appeal. If you face this problem, apply EonRollink 388 as the solution.

Solution: EonRollink 388

This product is a solvent-based ink cleaner formulated effectively to clean oil-based inks. The EonRollink 388 formula is suitable for cleaning UV printing machines as well as general printing machines.

With its quick and effective action, EonRollink 388 is the right solution for cleaning various types of oil-based inks.

EonRollink 388 is safe for routine application, including safe for application on rubber roll blankets in printing machines, and it does not cause rust problems on any type of metal. Please contact us for more information.

2. Problem: Adhesive Residue on Labeling Machines

Adhesive residue on labeling machines during the coconut milk packaging process can cause serious negative impacts. Leftover adhesive on the labeling machine can cause blockages and mechanical disruptions, thereby reducing production efficiency and speed.

Experiencing this issue? Contact Eonchemicals for the application of EonSolv 135 as an effective solution.

Solution: EonSolv 135

EonSolv 135 is a formula for general maintenance cleaning, including cleaning dirty labeling machines. This powerful formula can remove residues such as adhesives, grease, lubricating oils, rust, and other contaminants. EonSolv 135 is not suitable for application on rubber materials.

In addition to its ability to quickly and economically clean residues, this cleaning product has a high flash point, making it non-flammable at room temperature.

Another benefit is that this product does not cause corrosion and is suitable for all types of metals. Furthermore, EonSolv 135 leaves no residue, so there is no need to rinse after application.

3. Problem: Grease/Oil on Chains Contaminating the Product

Grease or oil on chains contaminating the product during the coconut milk packaging process can cause serious consequences. This contamination can occur because the lubricant used is a wet lubricant, which can drip.

The solution: Use dry lubricant! Contact us to get it.

Solution: Molykote AFC

Molykote AFC (Anti Friction Coating) is a dry lubricant that is well-suited to address the aforementioned problem.

Molykote AFC forms a durable lubricating layer (coating) that does not flow, preventing the lubricant from leaking or dripping from the chain onto the product. Additionally, Molykote AFC meets food safety standards, ensuring that no harmful chemicals can contaminate the coconut milk.

4. Problem: Short Regreasing Period

A short regreasing period can disrupt smooth production, increase machine downtime, and raise costs due to more frequent grease procurement.

The cause is usually the quality of the grease, which may not perform well under the operational conditions at your site, leading to quick degradation of its effectiveness.

The solution is to use long-lasting grease that can withstand challenging operational conditions.
