Aisapack has spent thousands of hours selecting, developing and validating the range of beverage industry components to ensure a reliable packaging system engineered to withstand tough industry procedures and standards. A technical specification has been developed and implemented for this new packaging system.
The Aisacan™ was specifically designed to run on standard PET neck handling filling lines with minimal modifications. This important consideration allows current use of downstream filling and capping operations.
The flexibility of independently developing the beverage package from the filling system allows for the Aisacan™ to be used with various industry standard filling systems and technologies. A good example is the aseptic validation of the Aisacan™. We have worked for many engineering hours to develop the Aisacan™ without sharp angle resulting in deadzones and using precise molding of the shoulder and bottom makes for an excellent sterilized and filled aseptic package. The Aisacan™ has been validated for both low and high acid filling together with KHS of Germany.
Furthermore the Aisacan™ package sturdier than might be expected. The twelve package of 250 ml withstands a person of 75 kg or 165 lbs topload without breaking.
The oxygen barrier of the Aisacan™ can be designed to be comparable to a PET bottle. Using our proprietary multilayer Bacomex™ technology we can achieve a barrier improvement factor in the range of 7 for total bottle measurements. This results in the total barrier Aisacan™ being capable of being used for sensitive juices such as tomato juice and nutraceutical applications.
The
Aisacan™ is an excellent example of technology transfer from the tube niche market industry to beverage package. The
Aisacan™ has been developed from the world-leading
Aisa tube machinery technology platform called SAESA®. For more than 25 years
Aisa has manufactured more than 300 machines and supplied on a world-wide basis such companies as Unilever, Colgate and P&G with SAESA® performance laminate tube machines for the toothpaste tube industry. The
Aisacan™ machine has been developed on this SAESA® platform using 75% the same technology.

List of Tests
Flat laminate printing using industry food quality standard rotogravure for full production runs. Small trial runs can quickly be achieved using digital printing.
A full pallet of Aisacans™ withstands the top load weight of a second pallet stacked.
Supple but solid the Aisacan™ withstands a drop of one meter or three feet without breaking.
Aisacan™ has comparable oxygen barrier properties to PET bottles.
The no deadzone design of the Aisacan™ package allows for proper hydrogen peroxide sterilization. This has been validated by a major aseptic filling machinery company.
All food approved papers for every component have been validated.
A total quality system including a post assembly quality check machine has been installed.
