Multivac R530

• Packaging of fresh and processed meats, poultry, and fish products.
• Sealing of ready meals, convenience foods, and chilled prepared dishes.
• Packaging of dairy products such as cheese portions and yoghurts.
• Creating sterile packaging for medical devices and pharmaceutical products.
• Forming and sealing of various non-food items, including consumer goods and industrial components.

Typical forming area

For this class of equipment, forming areas commonly range from 400mm to 700mm in width, with variable draw lengths.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on configuration.

Compressed air requirement

A consistent supply of dry, oil-free compressed air is essential, typically at 6-8 bar.

Cooling water requirement

Many thermoformers, including the R530 series, require a chilled water supply for cooling critical components.

Typical cycle speed

Cycle speeds for thermoforming equipment can vary significantly, typically ranging from 5 to 20 cycles per minute depending on product, film, and tooling.

Film types supported

Units are commonly configured to handle a range of thermoformable films, including flexible and rigid films such as PA/PE, APET, PP, and PS.

Footprint

The R530 series is a substantial industrial machine; buyers should anticipate a significant footprint, typically several metres in length.

• What is a Multivac R530 thermoformer primarily used for?
