Thermoforming machines
Thermoforming process
Thermoforming is a production process in which forming of a package, loading of a product into formed packages and sealing packages with the product are combined in a single production cycle.
Film used as packaging material is heated to required temperature and the package is shaped by air and vacuum in a special mould, which gives the package desired shape.
Thermoforming machine can be synchronized with additional equipment such as labelling system, slicer, dosing unit, multi-head weigher, printer or other compatible systems — creating a fully integrated and efficient packaging line.
1. Bottom film is unwound from the reel
2. Film is heated and formed into packages in the forming die
3. Product is loaded into formed packages manually or automatically
4. Top film covers packages with product
5. Air is evacuated from the sealing die and vacuum or protective gas is added, if required; package is sealed by application of heat and pressure
6. Loaded and sealed packages with product are cross cutted and longitudinally cutted
