GCS offers a complete design and engineering service that enables it to develop a product from concept-to-closure within a short space of time. By the way of illustration, it has taken only a month to develop this solution for DreamPak, with a high quality interface between the valve and the closure.
This valve dispensing closure is produced in GCS’ plant in Libertyville, US, on a dedicated production line with custom assembly equipment.
The water enhancer packaging can be used on-the-go and delivers 20 to 30 shots of highly concentrated juice under well-controlled flow conditions. The key element to the success of the dispensing closure is the performance of its silicone valve, which must provide a single, straight directional stream with consistent and rapid cut-off.
GCS’ micro valve has been designed to answer the particular viscosity of the product as well as the flow speed and dosing control.
The slit is sealed in a relaxed position, and when pressure is applied to the valve, the head moves in order to improve the seal. The pressure rolls on the valve head, the valve petals open and the product flows.
