Cryovac innovation
The system is targeted at processors looking for lower investment to enter the market and limited risks. Cryovac claims that the flexible system combines the best of the vacuum skin and lidding technologies.
The firm has launched a new vacuum
skin tray concept called the Cryovac VST system, catering to firms
using pre-made rigid trays. The system runs on existing qualified
tray sealers which have been modified to run the vacuum skin process,
made by manufacturers such as Mondini, Sealpac, Multivac or Ulma.
Cryovac has developed the VST0250 & VST0280 top webs for this
system, which are fully co-extruded skin films with high barrier and
formability around products. They offer strong seal strength with
Cryovac EOST trays.
The Cryovac VST concept is well-suited to
packaging fresh or frozen meats such as beef, veal, pork or lamb, as
well as poultry cut-ups with long shelf-life requirements.
Vacuum
skin packaging is increasingly used in the European food industry,
with estimated annual growth in demand of more than 10 per cent,
according to Cryovac. It has become popular with growing concerns
about food safety and especially contamination of meat products. It
is most widely used for processed meat products.
