Soups, sauces and ready meals
Demand for ready-made products is growing, among consumers as well as in catering and food service. For you as a producer, that means more recipes, smaller batches and high food safety requirements.
Buckets, trays or cans are expensive in material, take up a lot of space and leave little room for flexible portion sizes.
What SysmaTec supplies for convenience products
Pumpable products such as soup, sauce, mash or stew are filled into a film or plastic tube and closed with a clip.
- Poly-clip System – clip-pak® packaging solutions and clipping/hanging machines (FCHL) for high volumes.
- Viskase – plastic casings with a barrier layer, also suitable for sterilisation.
- Promar – functional additives and flavourings.
- Buhmann Pac Solutions – end of line: trays, cases and robotics.
