Direct seal aluminium membrane for can ends
without metal ring for dry products do not require heat treatment
Canseal Pro is the aluminium membrane of choice for all direct seal applications. It offers excellent seal integrity, easy peelability and highly efficient processability. Moreover, this newly developed sealing technology reduces the total packaging material since no metal ring is needed.
Amcor Flexibles is proud to be the recipient of three coveted Alufoil Trophy 2015 awards organised by the European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA).
In the category of “Resource Efficiency”, Amcor Flexibles was awarded an Alufoil Trophy for Can-seal Pro, a direct-seal aluminium membrane for can ends.
We viewed it as a potential ‘game changer’ for this type of can product, as sealing times could be reduced and better line speeds achieved, offering resource efficiencies in these areas too,” he added. For a typical 73 mm diameter can, 1,000 conventional steel EOE lids weigh around eight times more than the equivalent Canseal Pro lids.
