CDF Corporation Introduces the Squiz® System in North America

On September 8, 2026, CDF Corporation announced the North American launch of the Squiz® System, an innovative solution aimed at optimizing the evacuation process from intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). The new automated liner evacuation system was specifically designed for industries dealing with thick, high-value liquids, enabling manufacturers to recover product that has traditionally been left behind.

The Squiz® System marks a significant advancement in the field of industrial liner technology. Manufacturers of thick liquids frequently experience product loss due to residual amounts clinging to the container's liner once they’re emptied. This issue contributes to substantial financial losses, as unmeasured quantities of product can accumulate over multiple container cycles throughout the year.

How the Squiz® System Works

At the heart of the Squiz® System is a sophisticated controlled winding mechanism that functions in alignment with the plant's pumping system. It efficiently winds the liner down from the top during dispensing, effectively moving the remaining product toward the dispense valve. In practical trials, users noted that with the Squiz System, only about 0.1 to 0.2 percent of the product remained in the liner after dispensing, a drastic improvement compared to standard methods where significantly more is typically wasted.

For example, in trials involving thick cosmetic creams, units reported a remarkable 96% reduction in product waste. This transformative efficiency not only reduces costs for manufacturers but also addresses broader environmental concerns by decreasing waste generation.

Features of the Squiz® System

1. Automated Dispensing: The device operates without the need for manual intervention during dispensing, utilizing automatic pressure cutoffs and an emergency stop feature to ensure safety and reliability in operation.
2. Mobile Design: To facilitate adaptability in various production environments, the Squiz System is mounted on a stainless-steel frame with locking casters, allowing it to be moved between different production lines without needing fixed installation or electrical connections.
3. Specialized Liner: CDF has engineered a specific form-fit liner for use with the Squiz System, which is constructed to endure the mechanical stresses involved in the winding process, ensuring durability and efficiency.
4. European Expertise: Originally developed by Liquidpack S.L. of Onda, Spain, this system's North American introduction enhances CDF's comprehensive support capabilities from their Plymouth, Massachusetts base.

Live Demonstration at PACK EXPO International

Attendees interested in seeing the Squiz® System in action can visit the CDF booth at PACK EXPO International from October 18 to 21 at McCormick Place in Chicago, specifically at booth LU-6806 in the Reusable Packaging Pavilion. Live demonstrations will allow potential customers to witness how the mechanism effectively channels product toward the dispense valve. Moreover, participants can utilize CDF's Cost of Dispensing Calculator to quantify potential residual product losses in their operations.
