Eurovo has chosen Gable Top cartons and Galdi

For Gruppo Eurovo we installed two RG270 packaging machines with ULTRA CLEAN configuration specifically designed for liquid egg (mixed egg, yolk, egg whites and semi-finished products) in 1 kg and 500 g formats (for 99% egg whites).

The new machines have replaced the old brick packaging system in order to launch Eurovo products in Gable Top cartons.

Gruppo Eurovo is a major Italian company operating internationally and specialising in the production and distribution of eggs and egg products.

Operating through different brands, the Group offers a wide range of products and uses several distribution channels - large-chain and mid-sized retail, industry, artisan food businesses and food service.

For the refurbishment of the existing plants, the Group decided to focus on Gable Top packaging for a number of reasons and with specific goals in mind:

• Revamping the brand's image with a more modern packaging solution
• Offering several formats for a wider range of products to meet market demand
• Having a high-performance system to keep up with the growing demand for egg products in carton packages

To keep up with a market that demands an ever increasing variety of formats, Gable Top cartons are the ideal solution.

For those used to roll-fed systems for Brick packaging, Gable Top cartons are a real revolution in terms of versatility and changeover speed.

In fact, Gable Top packaging machines guarantee:

• Quick volume changeover (e.g. from 1 kg to 500 g) in less than 3 minutes.
• Handling of multiple formats: the two RG270 packaging machines we installed can handle 250, 500 and 1000g cartons, with and without cap.
• Quick recipe changeover - from whole egg in 1kg format to egg white in 250g packages - with minor, operator-guided adjustments.
• Consistent performance even as product viscosity changes, thanks to a winning combination of DDF dosing unit, bottom-up system and Galdi's in-depth knowledge of dosing parameters.

With these features, Eurovo can differentiate and customise products for different customers and sectors, switching quickly from one product, packaging and format to another, while maintaining the same performance.

Quick packet changeover and set-up also allow for production time and planning optimisation.

Eurovo has chosen Gable Top cartons due to a number of additional strategic advantages too:

• The package can be printed at the top too, which is the most visible area for consumers, ensuring maximum visibility on shelf.
• It is made of 75% FSC-certified paper and is aluminium-free, making it more sustainable and recyclable. The packaging is also more textured and pleasant to touch.
• Eurovo's target markets are familiar with this type of packaging, allowing for an intuitive, immediate use.

Gruppo Eurovo was supported in the transition from brick to Gable Top packaging by Galdi Sales Engineer, who identified the most suitable packaging solution to meet all the requirements shared by the customer.

At a time when the project had already reached an advanced stage, following a request from the Group's project managers, Galdi called in their in-house specialist for dosing systems in order to integrate an additional semi-finished product with very different rheological properties to those of the products there were initially planned.

We are proud of the support we have been able to provide to Gruppo Eurovo and of this partnership, which adds to our list of references for liquid egg packaging.

• More than 20 years of experience in the liquid egg sector
• More than 50 packaging machines installed worldwide
• Ongoing research into efficiency, performance repeatibility, smart digital solutions, hygienic performance and sealing process optimisation, users' safety and cyber security.
• Maximum compatibility with all commercially available paper types
• Product research: a recent project has led to the validation of a 17-week shelf life for liquid egg in Gable Top cartons

In 2022, during an exclusive event for egg processors, we also launched our next-generation packaging machine: the RG80 with EGG configuration.

This is a medium-capacity packaging solution with high hygienic performance, engineered to ensure competitiveness for our customers and specifically configured for liquid egg
