Multivac 535 Thermoformer

• Producing consumer packaging for food products such as meats, cheeses, and ready meals.
• Creating sterile medical device packaging and pharmaceutical blister packs.
• Forming trays and containers for bakery items and confectionery.
• Packaging non-food items like hardware, electronics, and consumer goods.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 8 to 20 cycles per minute, depending on film type and product size.

Power supply

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

Film types

Commonly processes flexible and semi-rigid thermoformable films, including APET, PP, PS, PVC, and barrier films.

Forming area

The forming area for a Multivac 535 can vary, but typically accommodates a maximum film width in the range of 420mm to 460mm.

Cooling requirements

Units often require a chilled water supply for cooling the forming and sealing stations to ensure optimal performance and film integrity.

Vacuum system

Integrated or external vacuum pumps are standard for creating modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) or vacuum packaging.
