The newest line that will run la Creme is composed of an ARCIL Form Fill Seal filler. This machine molds the cups from a large sheet of white plastic, fills a sheet of cups with the mix of fruit and white mass, seals the cup with foil and cuts and separates the individual cups. The cups are then labeled on two Krones labelers and overwrapped on an Aries Overwrapper. The 4-packs are packed into a Meca Systeme casepacker.

Making the cups at the Utah plant is cost effective. The plant's filling room will soon have, no wooden pallets to bring in or cardboard boxes to throw away, Decrion says with pride.

"There is less corrugate and less wood to dispose of," he says This is one of the most waste sensitive plants around."
