Polypropylene (PP) is the main consuming material of forming machines. These machines are composed of two parts: sheet making and pressing (containers production). Therefore, in addition to selling the final product of these machines, the produced sheets could be used in different industries. Since propylene is flexible and is not harmful to human body, disposable glasses are currently made by thermo-forming machines.
It should be noted that conventional plastic injection machines are used to produce disposable forks & spoons & knives and thick disposable containers such as trays, dessert and ice cream containers and so forth. The only difference is the changeability of molds by which the containers can be produced in different models and cavities (number of products in each press) in accordance with customers’ order.
This process is especially effective for producing food containers with wide mouths, such as tubs, vials, jars, pots and trays. The plastic used is thin and light to hold the overall product easily. Yet its also durable, flexible and resistant to tears, chemical spills and other damage that can spoil the food inside. The process is relatively easy and simple. This allows for faster processing times and larger scale production for larger packaging projects.
During several years of professional experience in marketing and business development consulting, one of our honors was to work with Pars Plastic Khuzestan Company because of the constant emphasis of managers on maintaining quality and not using recycled materials due to consumer health. The supplier gave us a lot of hope that even in these difficult economic conditions, it is possible to find quality and affordable products in the Iranian market. We see a bright future for Pars Plastic, and this is the beginning of a strong presence in international markets.
In addition, the insertion of the PS symbol indicates that it is made of polystyrene and such a container is in contact with hot and greasy foods due to the release of styrene carcinogenic monomer; therefore, these containers should not be used for food and hot drinks And fatty acids, and are used only for soft drinks and cold-fat foods. These containers are available in three types of polystyrene foam (EPS), expanded polystyrene (HIPS) and ordinary polystyrene containers (GPPS).
