Protection and hygiene throughout the supply chain: TopSyl seals the cans, preventing contamination. This effective solution combines food safety and sustainability.

 WHY IS CAN PROTECTION ESSENTIAL?

Food safety in the beverage sector also involves can packaging. Ecocap’s developed TopSyl, – patented in 2001 – that protects the contact area between the mouth and the pouring point of the can.

Hygiene along the distribution chain is a crucial issue because cans, before reaching the consumer, go through multiple production, storage and transport phases. During this journey, they may come into contact with dust, bacteria, humidity and other contaminants present in warehouses, trucks and points of sale.

Without adequate protection, the surface of the can could become a vehicle for contamination at the time of consumption. This makes it essential to adopt innovative solutions that guarantee high hygiene standards, protecting both the product and the consumer’s health.

In this sense TopSyl represents an effective response to this need. TopSyl is an aluminium seal that adheres to the surface of the can, ensuring:

• Immediate protection: seals the can immediately after filling, preventing contamination.
• Total hygienic barrier: adheres completely to the opening side, avoiding the formation of humidity, mold and bacteria.
• Extreme resistance: tested for immersion in water and ice and temperatures up to 60°C, suitable for both hot and cold vending machines.

• Environmental sustainability: made of 100% recyclable aluminium, it reduces the environmental impact without altering the practicality of use.

A NEW STANDARD FOR PACKAGING 

Ecocap’s innovation with TopSyl improves the hygiene standards of cans in the beverage sector, solving an often overlooked problem: surface contamination.

This sealing system protects the top of the can from dust, bacteria and other external agents, ensuring safer consumption.

In addition to the hygienic aspect, TopSyl is designed with an eye on sustainability. The material used is 100% recyclable and helps reduce the use of disposable plastic, responding to the growing requests for eco-friendly solutions from companies and consumers.
