EGG PRODUCTION

SANOVO AND HARTMANN - TWO COMPANIES WORKING IN HARMONY ON YOUR PRODUCTION LINE

In the modern age, it’s not enough for a responsible company to focus on better cost-efficiency and performance. Those who are serious about the future must also be working to minimize their impact on the environment.

And as stablemates in the global THORNICO group (whose mantra is ”doing good whilst doing business”) SANOVO graders and Hartmann packaging have been championing the cause of sustainability for many years – both individually and together.

Both companies are well known for their innovations in the egg industry. For more than 60 years, SANOVO has been at the forefront of egg grading technology, producing a wide range of graders that can handle all kinds of packaging around the world – with a huge variety of capacity options.

And Hartmann is the world’s leading producer of moulded fiber egg packaging. Since 1965, our constant urge to innovate has transformed egg cartons from a simple means of transporting fragile goods into highly efficient systems that save space, improve packing line efficiency and reduce the footprint of the entire packaging and distribution process – a pretty amazing achievement in a product made solely from recyclable wastepaper.

In their own way, both companies have been striving for decades to produce ever more sustainable refinements.

For instance, SANOVO has made huge strides in recent years to reduce consumption of water and electricity.

And one of Hartmann’s smartest recent innovations was the simple removal of a flap on the front of their cartons. It may not sound like much, but the ingenuity involved in losing weight from the carton without sacrificing strength significantly reduces the space requirement per unit, meaning more eggs can be placed on each pallet, which increases the amount each truck can deliver.

This dramatically reduces CO2 emissions, significantly lowers waste disposal fees for customers and massively improves environmental impact.

Which means that by working with both companies together, customers can benefit from this perfect grader-and-packaging synergy and optimize their production towards each of these objectives.
