Thermoforming Vacuum Packaging Machine

Quick answer: Thermoforming vacuum packaging machines form trays or pockets from a bottom web of film, take the product, evacuate air and seal a top web over it, all in one inline machine. Choose between a forming, filling and vacuum line for packs such as pickles, sausages and grains, and a vacuum skin machine where the top film hugs the product. Then size by pack dimensions and cycles per minute.

How to choose Thermoforming Vacuum Packaging Machine

The Full-Automatic Thermoforming and Filling Packaging Line suits standard vacuum packs of products such as pickled vegetables, meat products and grain products. Because it forms the pack from roll stock, pack depth and shape are set by the forming die, and an automatic filler can be integrated so loose or semi-liquid products are dosed into each pocket. The Full-Automatic Thermoforming Vacuum Skin Packaging Machines are better where presentation matters, such as fresh fish fillets, steaks and cooked meats: the heated top film draws down tightly over the product, holding it in place and reducing purge.

Next decide the web width and number of pockets per cycle, which together with cycle rate set output. Rigid bottom film makes a tray-like pack for retail display; flexible bottom film makes a softer pouch-like pack at lower material cost. List the options you need, such as easy-tear notches, special-shape punching, a printer and photocell tracking for printed film, as these are built into the machine.

Specifications and standards

Compare web width, forming depth, cutting format (number and size of packs per cycle), cycles per minute, vacuum pump capacity and final vacuum, whether gas flushing is possible, power load, compressed air and cooling water demand, and machine length, which can be considerable. Check the film thickness range for bottom and top webs, and whether the machine runs rigid, flexible or both.

Ask for stainless steel frame and covers suited to wash-down in wet meat and fish rooms, the guarding and emergency stop arrangement along the machine length, and electrical protection rating for wash-down areas. Request a trial with your product and film, with seal integrity tests on finished packs. If your product is pasteurised after packing, confirm the film and seal settings have been validated for that heat process.

Who buys this range

Buyers are meat and sausage processors, fish and seafood factories, cheese makers, pickled vegetable and ready-meal producers, and grain or bean product companies selling vacuum packs to supermarkets. These buyers are usually producing at volumes where chamber vacuum sealers have become a bottleneck. Purchase is direct and typically follows a trial run with the buyer's own product and chosen films, since pack design and film selection are decided together with the machine.

Vacuum skin packs versus standard vacuum packs

A standard thermoformed vacuum pack pulls the top film against the product and tray, but it can wrinkle and allow liquid to collect. A vacuum skin pack heats the top film so it moulds closely over the product and seals to the base around it, giving a tight, clear presentation that resists leakage and lets the pack be displayed upright. Skin film costs more, so the choice depends on retail presentation and the value of the product.

Film costs and pack design

On a thermoformer, film is the main running cost. Pack depth affects how much the bottom web thins as it is formed, so deeper packs need thicker starting film. Design the pack with only the depth the product needs, choose the narrowest web that fits your format, and minimise trim between packs. Your film supplier and our engineers should agree the forming die and film specification together.

Frequently asked questions

Can the machine pack liquids such as pickle brine?

Yes, the forming and filling line can integrate a liquid or paste filler into the formed pockets. Vacuum levels must be controlled so the liquid does not boil into the seal area. Tell us the liquid ratio and filling temperature.

How many pack sizes can one machine make?

Each pack format needs its own forming and cutting tools, though the web width stays the same. Additional formats are added by ordering more tool sets. Changeover time depends on the machine; ask us for the procedure.

Can I use printed top film?

Yes. Photocell tracking keeps printed film in register with each pack, and the skin machine lists double-side tracking. Send your film artwork with registration mark positions so tracking can be set up.

What utilities does a thermoformer need?

Typically three-phase power, compressed air, cooling water for the forming and sealing stations, and space for the vacuum pump. Ask for a full utility list for the configuration quoted to you.
