Northern Italy processes its entire tomato crop in about three months.
That product then has to last until the next harvest.
Last season, 28 plants processed more than 3.1 million tons, from July to October.
Product packed in aseptic bags must stay sterile for months. Often far from Parma.
That gives aseptic packaging two jobs.
During the campaign, it must keep pace with the line. Reliable filling. Sound fitments. No downtime when the plant can least afford it.
After the campaign, it must protect the product through storage, handling and long transport. There, time and mechanical stress work against the barrier.
Packaging built for only one phase pays the price in the other.
Cibus Tec opens as this year's campaign closes. Processors now know where their packaging held up, and where it didn't.
That is the conversation we want to have.
Meet us at Cibus Tec, Parma, October 27–30, Booth I 046. Bring your product, your filling setup and your export routes.
