Thanakorn Vegetable Oil Products (TVOP) is transforming the global edible oil industry by becoming the first organization to implement Sidel’s innovative EvoBLOW Laser technology.
This advancement is part of a cutting-edge factory setup that equips TVOP with a cohesive production system tailored to fulfill the growing demand for eco-friendly and high-grade packaging solutions.
This collaboration signifies a remarkable enhancement in manufacturing accuracy, allowing TVOP to establish itself as a front-runner in Asia regarding operational efficiency and commitment to sustainability.
By shifting to laser-based blowing technology, TVOP has introduced a new 1L edible oil bottle that is lighter by 2 grams compared to earlier iterations. Crafted in partnership with Sidel’s packaging specialists, the new design ensures robustness and visual appeal while considerably reducing material usage.
“This laser technology will help us improve performance, energy efficiency, production stability and material savings which are all critical for edible oil manufacturers,” remarked Adul Premprasert, CEO of TVOP. “It will allow us to respond faster to market demand while maintaining product quality and operational efficiency.”
In addition to upgrading the blowing method, TVOP has adopted a range of Sidel’s low-carbon solutions to reduce its factory’s environmental impact:
– EvoFilm Stretch: This application achieves a 90% reduction in energy use compared to standard shrink-wrap methods.
– CoboREEL: An innovative cobotic solution for automated label reel loading that provides threefold reel capacity compared to competitors while using less than 0.5 kWh.
– Evo-ON Cloud Suite: A digital intelligence tool that converts raw equipment data into practical insights, ensuring optimal performance.
These strategic investments reflect TVOP’s commitment to fostering a low-carbon impact while preparing for the eventual incorporation of recycled PET (rPET) into their production.
The alliance between TVOP and Sidel dates back to 1978, evolving over nearly five decades from a traditional supplier-client relationship into a strategic partnership. Sidel serves as a comprehensive resource, offering a full range of services that seamlessly integrates blowing, filling, and end-of-line automation.
“Sidel has been more than just a supplier. We work as long-term partners, hand in hand, lifting good things for the company, for our society and ultimately for our planet,” Premprasert emphasized.
As TVOP expands its new facility, the incorporation of EvoBLOW Laser and advanced digital monitoring systems solidifies the company’s position at the forefront of the $27 billion global edible oil market, delivering a superior consumer experience while significantly minimizing environmental impact.
