JAPAN (News release) -- Nippon Paper Industries and Shikoku Kakoki have developed "NSATOM", an aseptic filling system for paper packaging based on new concepts that supports filling involving particles, long fibers and high viscosity, and allows for ambient distribution. The two companies will launch "NSATOM" onto the market in 2019.

The newly developed "NSATOM" satisfies these needs as the world's first aseptic filling system for paper packaging in ambient distribution that supports 'particle, long-fiber and high-viscosity filling', 'high hygienic quality with 6 log reduction*2' and 'reduced on-site workload thanks to automated cleaning of filling sections'. Amid the worldwide trend to shift away from plastic, these paper packages can be widely proposed as alternatives to plastic-based packages.
