The Power of Two: The Dual-Drum Proprietary Technology Behind Yangi’s Superior Fiber Packaging
Yangi’s Cellera dry forming technology brings a fresh approach to sustainable fiber-based packaging production. By combining airlaid formation and 3D thermoforming, we create rigid, cellulose-based packaging that expands the possibilities of sustainable materials.
At the heart of Cellera is our proprietary dual-drum formation technology. This unique system ensures consistency, precision, and efficiency in production, optimizing material usage and enhancing structural integrity. In combination with our airlaid fiber technology, it offers unmatched design flexibility, setting a new benchmark for sustainability and performance in the fiber-based packaging industry.
Yangi Cellera Dual Drum Proprietary Technology
Waste Not, Want Not: How We Minimize Material Waste
Traditional forming processes often lead to a lot of waste because they rely on a continuous web of material that needs to be cut and shaped extensively. Yangi's dual-drum system takes a different approach by creating individual pad elements, each perfectly matched to the product's dimensions.
This means less trimming and a significant reduction in material waste. By making the most of the material right from the start, our technology boosts production efficiency and supports a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Distinct Pad Geometry Perfectly Matched to the Product’s Dimensions for Minimal Waste
Skip the Tissue, Keep the Strength: Smarter Pad Engineering
During our decade-long technology development at Yangi, we've engineered a process enabling us to fabricate pads with high network strength and even grammage weight distribution, eliminating the need for tissue addition. Though sometimes advantageous, the inclusion of tissue often presents certain challenges.
Firstly, incorporating tissue can increase production costs, potentially affecting product competitiveness since the introduction of tissue complicates the manufacturing process, requiring extra handling steps and potentially extending production time.
Also, ensuring compatibility between tissue and fibrous materials is challenging due to variations in their properties, potentially causing tissue delamination. Maintaining consistent quality is another concern, as differences in tissue properties may impact product performance and appearance.
Finally, environmental considerations are crucial, particularly regarding non-renewable or non-biodegradable tissue sources, which raise significant ecological concerns and pose substantial waste management challenges. Tissue use can, in some cases, improve product performance but may also have limitations, requiring thorough evaluation for suitability in specific applications.
No Mess, No Stress: Eliminating Material Contamination
Reintroducing trimmed material back into the production process can lead to contaminants, affecting the consistency and quality of the final product. Since materials that have already gone through the process often have chemical barriers, bringing them back in makes it tough to keep the material formulation consistent.
This can impact the product's performance, strength, and overall quality. By minimizing trim waste, Yangi’s technology reduces the need to reintroduce materials, helping maintain the integrity and consistency of the final product.
Flex Your Design: The Power of Distinct Pads
Distinct Pads Offer Unmatched Flexibility in Optimizing Packaging Performance
Yangi's dual-drum formation technology offers precise control over pad geometry and grammage, providing unmatched flexibility in optimizing packaging performance. A standout feature of this system is the ability to create two distinct pads—possibly in different sizes—that combine to form a unified fiber structure. This allows manufacturers to strengthen areas that need it most by increasing material density in specific zones, boosting durability and functionality without wasting material.
Unlike traditional methods that rely on a continuous web of material, our technology forms individual pads, which are consistently placed in the press for uniformity. This eliminates the need for material to compete with neighboring cavities, improving the consistency of Yangi’s final products.
Additionally, with an extra mill in the process, manufacturers can use two complementary materials in each pad, opening up even more customization options. This flexibility lets us fine-tune fiber composition, balancing strength, softness, and barrier properties to meet specific product needs—whether enhancing durability, moisture resistance, or sustainability. This dual-material approach unlocks new possibilities for performance and adaptability in fiber-based packaging.
The Smart Choice for Fiber Packaging
By combining our dual-drum technology with airlaid formation, Yangi’s approach delivers not just precision and consistency, but a whole new level of customization. From minimizing waste and contamination to offering the flexibility to reinforce stress points and experiment with dual materials, we’re making packaging smarter, stronger, and more sustainable.
Our technology ensures that every pad is perfectly formed, every material is used efficiently, and every product stands up to what’s needed—without compromise. It’s this mix of innovation and practicality that sets Yangi apart and paves the way for the future of fiber-based packaging.
