Production platforms engineered to make impact

We invented the technology, and together with our machine partners, we developed the world’s first turnkey production line to support high output of Dry Molded Fiber products.

Ready for you to order

On your mark, get set, go!

With our accumulated knowledge about the Dry Molded Fiber technology, we develop standardized production platforms together with our turnkey machine partners. And through continuous improvements and updates, all PulPac license holders have access to the latest and greatest iterations of Dry Molded Fiber. That way, they can make even greater impact with innovative and sustainably produced packaging.

THE PULPAC MODULA

Modularity and capacity

The PulPac Modula is a modular production line, capable of handling high volume manufacturing of affordable, food-grade packaging applications. The PulPac Modula platform supports the full range of our standardized tools, which allows you to produce everything from lids and trays, to cutlery.

Turnkey machine partners

To support our growing community of license holders we continuosly grow our network of partners throughout the value chain. Our turnkey machine partners will be your one-stop-shop and help you get the most out of your production line.

How to start dry molding?

Talk to us about the applications you want to produce. For a real quick start, we have a range of standardized and validated lids, trays and cutlery. If you want to use your own unique product design, we’ll set up a project and help you adapt it to Dry Molded Fiber. We’ll also take you through the license and set agreements up. When you’re ready for it, we’ll connect you with the turnkey machine partner best suited to deliver your production line and together we’ll get you going with Dry Molded Fiber.

Questions you might have…

Are there any special requirements for the production environment (temperature, humidity)?

The operational condition should have temperatures between 10-40 °C and humidity between 20-75 % RH

Do you supply the machinery?

We do not sell any machinery, but we have turnkey machine partners that do so and can help you make the most out of our production.

How many cavities is possible?

The number of cavities depends on the size/ depth of the cavity or the tonnage of the press.

How many operators are required to run the machinery at full capacity?

Estimated reference values for a PulPac Modula is 1,5 FTE for standard operation.

How much energy is used during the process?

Estimated reference value for a PulPac Modula is ≈145 kW.

Is it possible to have end of line automation to handle finished products?

Yes. Our turnkey machine partners, as well as other machinery partners, have extensive experience in delivering automation solutions suited to your individual needs.

What is the maximum mold area?

The maximum mold area depends on the number of molds, the size of the web and on the tonnage on the press.
