AMIFLEX Optima

The AMIFLEX Optima casing is a matt multilayer casing with selective permeability to smoke.
The AMIFLEX Optima casing is intended for products sold from retail outlets as whole chubs.
Due to selective permeability to smoke this casing is permeable to certain fractions of the process smoke, which imparts to the products the smoke flavor and taste.

1. Mechanical strength of the AMIFLEX Optima casing makes it possible to mold ball-shaped chubs with the use of high-capacity automatic and semi-automatic clippers at high production rates.

2. Low permeability to oxygen and water vapor is ensured by a precisely selected combination of polymers and provides for the following advantages of the AMIFLEX Optima casing:

   • zero losses during the thermal processing and storage of meat and sausage products;
   • microbiological stability of the products during storage;
   • retardation of the oxidation processes that cause rancidification of fats and changes in the natural color of the meat product;
   • excellent selling appearance (no «‎wrinkles») of the finished products throughout the shelf life.

3. Physiological safety the AMIFLEX Optima casing is impervious to microbiological degradation, because the materials used for their production are inert to the action of bacteria and mold fungi. This facilitates storage of the casing and improves the hygienic characteristics of both the casing itself, and of the sausage production.

The casing can be used for double-sided UV printing, with edge-to-edge printing as an option.
Printing is applied by the flexographic method; the inks are resistant to boiling, fats, and mechanical damage.
