Oystar Hassia sells 50th FFS aseptic machine to Thailand

OYSTAR Hassia has sold the 50th machine of its successful FFS aseptic series to Dental Innovation Foundation under Royal Patronage, a dental research foundation in Thailand.

 

 

The TAS 16/48 series will enable the market introduction of a food supplement preparation developed by the Dental Innovation Foundation for use with cancer and other patients. The easy-to-swallow Nutri-Jelly is aimed to simplify food intake for patients with difficulties in swallowing or chewing resulting from radiotherapy in the mouth and throat area.

 

Dental Innovation Foundation hopes to use the high-performance Oystar Hassia aseptic form-fill-seal machine to launch the Nutri-Jelly, which underwent testing. 

 

The TAS 16/48 is equipped with a 16-cup format and has nominal output of 24,000 cups per hour. The cups are decorated “inline” with a label and then punched-out in 4-up units or quartet packs. 

 

The machine meets Green Aseptic standards, a key factor in its selection by the Dental Innovation Foundation. Its sterilization using saturated steam ensures an effective and safe packaging material sterilization without additional chemical sterilization media. In addition to easy sterilization process, the FFS machine has low energy consumption and maintenance requirements. 

 

Otto Stier, area sales director Oystar Asia Pacific, said, “We are particularly pleased to make a real contribution to the health care delivery in Thailand with our anniversary machine.”

 

The steam-aseptic system, which has been successfully applied in the dairy industry for decades and is increasingly adopted in the pharmaceutical industry, is supported by end-of-line packing system from Oystar A+F, type SetLine 633. After forming, filling, and closing the quartet packs are covered with cardboard sleeve and inserted into cartons for final packaging.
