ASP Solution
ASP (Aseptic Spouted Pouch) is a new pat-pending solution for improving the application of reclosable spouts on different types and p g pp p yp sizes of stand-up pouches (SUP). The basic idea is to create a piercing spout to be applied externally, in-line or out-line, on different types and shapes of finished filled SUP, with improved characteristics in term of quality, efficency and increase of shelf-life if compared with the standard spouted SUP that you can find on the market world-wide. This innovative solution can improve , simplify and guarantee the manufacturing in fully aseptic process conditions, giving to the final product one year of shelf-life at room temperature.
