Ecolean brings new life and profit to liquid food products

A new concept for extended product shelf life with a totally new packaging solution.

20/03/06 It’s successful in central and eastern Europe, Russia and China – now, environmentally adapted Ecolean have carried out its first installations in Western Europe. In launching CAPS™ – a new concept for extended product shelf life – along with a totally new packaging solution, Ecolean today offer the liquid food industry exciting new possibilities.

To producers of pasteurized products, the Ecolean filling system with its hygienic, hermetically, factory pre-sealed packages has in many cases prolonged the shelf life of liquid dairy products. Now, Ecolean takes its packaging concept another step forward.

With the new Controlled Atmosphere Packaging System, CAPS™, producers utilizing the Ecolean packaging concept can considerably increase the shelf life for their pasteurized products. The revolutionary, new component is as uncomplicated as it is smart: a protection gas that is added to the package during the filling cycle. The combination of a hygienic package, a 2.4 sec opening-filling-resealing cycle and a controlled flow of protection gas guarantees an even quality of the filled product.

CAPS™ will be introduced by Ecolean at Anuga FoodTec, the food and drink technology trade fair, in Cologne, 4–7 April.

At Anuga FoodTec, Ecolean will also launch a totally new packaging platform with 200 ml, 250 ml and 500 ml sizes – all in the same filling machine – in addition to the existing 500 ml and 1 litre concept.

With these – and coming – innovations Ecolean stands ready to offer the liquid food industry an even wider range of interesting possibilities.
