Chub Packaging

Discovering the benefits of Chub Packaging

Chub packaging, a versatile and efficient packaging method, is a prominent solution in both food and industrial product manufacturing. Developed and refined over 70 years by R.A Jones under the KartridgPak brand, chub packaging machines are known for their robustness, cost-effectiveness, and high performance. These machines utilize in-line continuous motion clipping, film drive registration, and enhanced voiding systems to ensure profitability and reliability. R.A Jones’ chub packaging machines can handle a wide range of products, from meats and viscous substances to adhesives and chemical emulsions. Particularly relevant for the mining industry, these machines are engineered to last, ensuring durability even in the harshest environments. 

One of the notable points when comparing chub to other packaging formats is the extended shelf life it offers. Ground beef packaged in chubs can boast a shelf life of up to 45 days, which is up to 75% longer than when the same product is packaged in trays. This significantly reduces waste and improves product freshness for consumers. 

In terms of cost savings, chub packaging proves to be highly beneficial. Packaging with flat web film and metal clips from spools is up to 30% less expensive than using styrofoam or plastic trays. Moreover, the wire spool clips used by R.A Jones are up to four times less expensive than preformed clips, providing substantial savings on consumables.  

Higher production rates are another advantage, with KartridgPak chub machines capable of running up to 160 pieces per minute for retail packaged chubs, far outpacing alternative packaging methods. 

Chub packaging also minimizes product giveaway. With precise voiding and pumping, the giveaway can be significantly reduced, enhancing both efficiency and profitability. This precise control over packaging ensures that manufacturers can maintain consistent product quality and reduce material costs. Moreover, the registration of film occurs reliably and at the same part of the package every time, a feature that horizontal machines struggle to achieve. This consistency is increasingly important for packaging appearance and track and trace requirements from the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
