Thermoforming packaging machines for plastic or aluminum snack food packaging

Thermoforming packaging machines for the production of vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for snack products. 

The main features of thermoforming packaging machines are their high flexibility, efficiency and packaging quality as well as their cost effectiveness. The machine is now available to order.

Plastic or aluminum compatibility

The thermoforming packaging machine was developed in response to the current market demand for snack food packaging, such as dried or roasted duck parts, beef jerky, small sausages or tofu. This packaging format has a particularly high appeal in Asia.

According to market data, 76% of Chinese consumers, 73% of Indian consumers and 69% of Indonesian consumers believe that aluminum packaging provides good or excellent product protection.

At the same time, 73 percent of Chinese consumers, 59 percent of Indian consumers and 42 percent of Indonesian consumers believe that aluminum packaging offers good or excellent recyclability. The thermoforming packaging machine was developed to meet market demand for snack food packaging such as beef jerky.

Packaging made from plastic film or aluminum is compatible with thermoforming packaging machines. Aluminum packages are often preferred in Asia because they have a long shelf life as they are resistant to UV light.

Due to the global demand for healthy snacks, we also expect strong interest in this model from other regions.

The machine is also designed for processors, who today package their products in film pouches on rotary fill and seal machines. By moving to thermoformed packaging, they can avoid high bag costs and improve staff efficiency.

Snack Food Packaging Focus

Thermoforming wrappers are designed to produce thermoformed packages with a forming depth of up to 20 mm.

With the optional 10 mm upper web forming, existing, symmetrically produced pouch packages can be replaced.

Thanks to its loading area of up to 3,000 mm and flexible expansion, high package output can be achieved even when the machine can also be adapted to narrow working environments.

The unloading area can be extended to accommodate printing solutions or other equipment components, which means that even inkjet printers or additional cutting units can be integrated into the machine.

High output

The thermoforming wrapping machine has an output of up to 240 packages per minute. In addition, the "very high" and uniform sealing force combined with the high-performance forming station ensures "excellent" packaging results even with aluminum packages.

The hygienic design of the machine makes it easy to clean and maintain.

Various equipment options allow the machine to be designed according to the customer's individual requirements for output capacity and the required printing or labeling process.

All in all, we consider the thermoforming packaging machine to be a very effective extension of our product range. It is the ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses, especially in today's segment where sachets and small aluminum packages are used.

Aluminum is also an excellent material when it comes to shelf life and can significantly reduce food waste due to spoilage.

Thermoforming packaging technology can also be used for vacuum and MAP packaging of sliced products, cuts of meat, sausages, fish, hard cheeses and seafood.
