Denest Food Trays and Containers When separating stacked containers during food packaging filling operations, nested containers that stick together can cause costly manufacturing disruptions, such as picking errors, scrap generation, and equipment downtime. Reduces scrap and production downtime caused by containers that: bind together during packaging operations

All are semi-crystalline materials that contain an abundance of carbon and oxygen. However, it surpasses ABS, COPET and PC alloys.
