Switching Cartoning Method for Easy Product Loading, Changeover
When Cool Frootz, Boulder, Colo., launched its wholesome range of Froozer all-natural whole fruit snacks in frozen bars, they were faced with two challenges—how to convert their initial carton from a manually erected, hand-loaded and closed horizontal style to a fully automatic carton forming and closing operation that is flexible enough to handle the wide variety of bar count quantities, and have that equipment delivered on a very short lead time that would enable them to meet a rapidly expanding demand from large club and supermarket groups.
Froozer is a grab-and-go frozen snack that is made from 100% whole fruits and vegetables. Cool Frootz’ proprietary technology maintains and fuses fibers for maximum nutrition and converts frozen fruits and vegetables into a smooth, creamy texture. The result is a premium product that tastes like soft-serve frozen yogurt.
