ABSORBENT PADS: In-Flex absorbent pad for pre-padding lines still popular after 20 years

Absorbent meat pads for pre-padding operations

ABSORBENT pads are one of Sirane’s core strengths – and one of our most established & popular absorbent pads is our Dri-Fresh In-Flex pad.

Sirane launched our Dri-Fresh In-Flex absorbent meat pads 20 years ago, in the early days of the company, to solve a particular problem found in tray pre-padding applications – and it has been a resounding success.

Dri-Fresh In-Flex is designed to save time and money for food processors’ manual or automated padding operations. These are absorbent meat pads (sometimes known as soaker pads) which are rigid, flat and very easy to separate.

Karl Heggarty, global sales director, said: “These absorbent pads are most commonly used as meat pads, although there are other potential uses, and they are a practical option for anyone running pre-padding operations.

“While we have developed many absorbent pads since Dri-Fresh In-Flex was added to our range, it remains a popular choice to this day.“

Manual insertion of these absorbent pads is very easy. Automatic insertion from cassette-fed or reel-fed padding machines is fast and trouble free.

Dri-Fresh In-Flex absorbent meat pads have minimum environmental impact. Made largely from recyclable cellulose with no glue adhesives, they enhance the environmental friendliness of all packaging formats.

Up to 90% bio-degradable, these absorbent pads can be composted with little residue or incinerated with 100% energy recovery.

Rigid, flat and very easy to handle, Dri-Fresh In-Flex absorbent pads are the complete solution for effective and efficient pre-padding operations.

Cut pads are available in virtually any size as required. Slit rolls are available in six standard widths 70-200mm (other widths available).
