The equipment in brief

A thermoforming machine forms the tray itself from a reel of bottom film, places the product in it, covers it with the top film and seals it — in a modified atmosphere, under vacuum, with a skin effect or by plain sealing. This is the basic equipment for fresh pasta workshops, meat processing, dairies, confectioneries, sausage plants and bakeries.

Key advantages

The tray is formed on the spot

The machine draws it from the lower film reel. Ready-made trays no longer have to be bought, stored and transported — which is both money and warehouse space.

Four modes in one machine

Modified atmosphere, vacuum, skin and plain sealing — for different products and different shelf lives.

Shelf life instead of preservatives

In MAP the air is replaced by a gas mixture. For fresh pasta, meat and cheese that is the main lever on shelf life.

Skin shows the product as it is

The film wraps the item along its contour and presses it to the backing — the pack looks premium and holds its shape.

Printing and labelling in line

Inkjet and thermal transfer printers, automatic labellers above or below the pack.

Gas control on the line

Oxygen and carbon dioxide analysers and gas mixers — so the atmosphere is the actual one, not the one on paper.

Who this equipment is for

Thermoforming goes where the packaging decides the shelf life:

How it works

  1. Unwinding the lower filmThe reel is fed into the forming station.
  2. Forming the trayThe film is heated and drawn into a cavity of the required depth.
  3. Loading the productBy hand or with an automatic loader.
  4. Changing the atmosphereVacuum, gas mixture injection or skin wrapping.
  5. Sealing and cuttingThe upper film is welded on and the packs are cut apart.
  6. MarkingPrinter and labeller in line — date, batch, composition.
