ECOCAP’s know-how
The patented technology of the TopSyl™ membrane applying has become a revolution in the packaging solutions field. The tightly fitting TopSyl™ cover protects the top contact surface of the can from dust, dirt, any contamination during transport and storage and thus ensures the sanitary safety of the can for consumer. Obviously, in terms of current situation this standard of packaging becomes relevant more than ever.
The main feature of the new technology is in a fundamentally new approach to the way of applying the protection membrane, taking into account both the convenience of application and preservation during transport and storage operations and, at the same time, the ease of opening for consumer. The innovative sealing head performing the shrink and forming functions safeguards the packaging full compliance with these criteria. The TopSyl™ aluminum membrane shrunk tightly to the can top without glue or other additional materials meets the requirements of hygiene, cost-effectiveness and 100% recyclable packaging. The range of TopSyl™ application equipment includes machines with capacities from 1,250 to 70,000 can/hour and a variety of configurations for integration into any production line.
TopSyl™ protection cover
The TopSyl™ protection membrane is applied onto the can at clean production area (making sure the surface has been dried up), thus preserving the sterile environment above the contact surface. The TopSyl™ material prevents formation of moisture and, consequently, contamination and reproduction of bacterial flora.
TopSyl™ reliability has been tested and proven under the conditions of rain, ice and high temperatures (up to 60◦). The product keeping in both "hot" and "cold" vending machines does not affect the quality of protection.
