 Tetra Pak, Lausanne, Switzerland, this week announced new developments to its packaging solutions portfolio. The developments are aimed at delivering faster response times for customers in meeting changing consumer needs, while minimizing packaging equipment investment.
The company is launching One-Step Opening (OSO) for the Tetra Evero Aseptic, the world's first aseptic carton bottle for ambient white milk. OSO offers double safety features due to the tamper evidence ring and a neck membrane that is removed by twisting the cap. In addition to these safety features, the Tetra Evero Aseptic with OSO enables customers to offer an easy to open, handle, and pour-from-carton bottle.
Tetra Pak's new TBA/19 Retrofitability Kit allows customers to transform the package shape and base area on the same machine platform, a world first in the aseptic carton packaging industry. Customers with the TBA/19 filling machine for 200 Slim, 250 Base, and 125 Slim will soon be able to retrofit their existing filling lines, enabling them to produce the new Tetra Brik Aseptic 200 and 250 Edge (see photo). For those with this machine who are not yet ready to invest in the Tetra Pak® A3/Compact Flex filling machine, this solution provides the option of producing these packages for a fraction of the cost. In addition, the retrofitability kit takes less time to install than a new machine, which means products get to market faster, the company notes.
The new Tetra Pak A3/Speed filling machine is now available for Tetra Prisma Aseptic 200 and 250 portion packs. The Tetra Pak A3/Speed iLine is the fastest line available from Tetra Pak, with a maximum production capacity of 24,000 portion packs per hour.
