Cryovac® Flavour Mark® Aseptic provides an alternative to the current filling technology and provides the foodservice industry with the most convenient flexible package in the 2 to 5 liter format range. This solution is suited to high acid applications such as tomato sauce, fruit and juices.

The Cryovac® Flavour Mark® Aseptic FMA855 film is designed for form-fill-seal
aseptic packaging applications. This high barrier and fully coextruded film offers
excellent seal strength, superior dimensional stability and machinability, as well as high
abuse resistance to puncture and abrasion. It was specially designed to run with the
Cryovac® FM Antares Equipment.
The Cryovac® FM Antares automated vertical form-fill-seal machine designed for
aseptic packaging comes with a single head unit for non-headspace aseptic packages.
The machine produces three-sided seal pouches from 2 to 5 kg with an edge “fin” seal
and reaches line speeds of up to 30 packs per minute (5 kg pouch) using the latest
multi-rib end seal technology. Controlled by a PLC system, it also features an automatic
film splicing unit along with a unit for equipment sterilization and operation.
