Microwaveable steel can ready for production

One of the oldest food packages is now microwavable: a steel can. The Fusion-Tek™ Microwavable Can from Ball Corp. (www.ball.com) is the first microwavable steel can.

Pw 9430 Ball Fusiontek

Commercial quality production of the package is scheduled to begin in October. Initial interest is primarily for ready-to-eat meals such as soups and stews.

A regular steel food can does not heat in the microwave because microwave energy cannot pass through steel, but Fusion-Tek's plastic end allows microwave energy to pass through the product inside the can, heating it quickly and evenly in 2-3 minutes.

The 307x306 Fusion-Tek can holds approximately 15 oz of product. The package consists of steel can walls, an EZ Open end, plastic end, plastic overcap and insulating foam label.

Shelf stable and tamper- and puncture-resistant, the Fusion-Tek can provides the same shelf life as the traditional steel can because its plastic end has an oxygen barrier that ensures freshness for at least 18 months.
