In June 2014, Smalandskraftan installed a new packaging line supplied by Micvac. Designed to produce chilled, ready-to-heat-and-serve foods, the Micvac automated fill/seal/cook/cool system utilizes microwave pasteurization to protect product flavor and extend packaged product shelf life without use of preservatives. By some estimates, refrigerated product shelf life has increased from 10 days to 35 days, depending on product type.

The complete production line includes processing and packaging equipment and packaging materials (barrier trays and easy-peel lidding film). It is totally continuous from the start of the tray denester of the filling line until the cooked, microwave-pasteurized, chilled trays are carton sleeve-wrapped and case-packed for distribution. The polypropylene trays are supplied by Faerch Plast, and the PA/PP lidding film is from Scandflex. The tray fill/seal system is from Mondini.
