TF/F/S for Flexible and Semi-Rigid Film Machinery is designed for thermoforming applications, and utilizes heat along with vacuum or pressure techniques on continuous rolls of thermoformable film, creating a variety of packaging solutions. These systems are adept at producing items such as trays, cups, and portion packs, which may also include the fabrication of corresponding lids. This process is essential for packaging a diverse range of products, from food items like chocolate pudding, sausages, and pasta to medical devices, ensuring they are securely enclosed prior to being filled, sealed, and cut into individual packages. This technology supports the packaging needs of multiple industries by offering a method to efficiently package products in flexible or semi-rigid film.

Typical products and applications include:

• Chocolate pudding and yogurt: Packaged in sealed portion cups for single-serve consumption
• Pre-cooked sausages, pasta meals, or deli items: Thermoformed into semi-rigid trays for retail presentation
• Medical kits or sterile components: Encased in custom-formed blisters or trays for protection and sterility
• Cheese cubes or snack combinations: Separated into compartmentalized packs for convenience and freshness
• Ready-to-heat entrees or refrigerated meals: Vacuum-sealed into flexible film trays for extended shelf life

Additional Considerations:

• Combines forming, filling, sealing, and cutting in one continuous operation: Streamlines packaging lines
• Supports hermetic and tamper-evident sealing: Ensures freshness and product safety
• Compatible with vacuum, MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging), or inert gas flushing: Ideal for perishable or oxygen-sensitive products
• Flexible tooling accommodates various depths and cavity shapes: Allows for customized package design
• Widely used in food, healthcare, and consumer goods industries: Versatile across both consumable and sterile packaging needs
