HAVI Global Solutions announces disposable food packaging
HAVI Global Solutions (HGS; havigs.com) has partnered with Manitowoc Foodservice Inc. to develop breakthrough, ready to serve accelerated cooking packaging. True to its name, SIX500™ provides food processors, convenience stores and restaurant operators with an enhanced packaging solution that can safely withstand temperatures up to 525 degrees Fahrenheit for six minutes. Through an integrated approach of sharing perspectives from packaging and equipment, HGS and MFS were able to address a fragmented customer issue through the co-development of an integrated solution. SIX500 will be available for sale through HGS starting in September 2016 with additional enhancements coming in 2017.
Over the past decade, oven technology has developed rapidly, allowing restaurants to produce quality food in a very short timeframe. Packaging technology hasn’t kept up with the advances in ovens. This new material – and its use of proprietary moisture barriers and laminations – is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and steam, which allows for food products to be rapidly cooked in disposable packaging.
