Menshen is breaking new ground working with partners SN Maschinenbau and SÜDPACK. With their innovative solutions for the in-house production of providing producers and fillers of pasty and liquid food products, such as fruit purées, smoothies and other liquids, with a sustainable and economical alternative to pre-made pouches. MENSHEN LoTUS™ technology offers a sustainable, economical alternative to premade pouches for manufacturers and fillers of thick and thin products, including fruit purees, smoothies, and non-food liquids.

The concept is based on high-performance machine technology and recyclable polypropylene film. The machine and polymer film components have been perfectly harmonized to offer maximum processing and packaging reliability. These principles are also ground-breaking in terms of quality, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility. The use of recyclable mono materials also benefits sustainability.

Pouch inserts with the MENSHEN LoTUS™ technology can be combined with the mono-material pouch. This is possible as the heat distribution and conductivity have been optimized via the LoTUS design. When used correctly, this saves energy and provides an efficient production process.

Advantages of MENSHEN LoTUS™ 

• Simplified sealing with mono-materials
• Recyclable mono-material solution
• Improved sealing quality and visual appearance of the sealed area
• Works with PE and PP
• No impact on machine capacity

High flexibility and shorter time-to-market. The machine is flexible in that it can be converted for the production of pouches in different sizes, shapes, and materials. Whether with simple round corner punching or with a full contour. Including the option to have different shaped pouch inserts. This allows producers to adapt quickly to changes in demand by shortening delivery times and the time-to-market. This concept can offer added value, not least in terms of resilience to disruptions in the supply chain.
