MULTIVAC T300

• Extending shelf-life for fresh meat, poultry, and fish products.
• Packaging prepared meals and ready-to-eat foods to maintain freshness.
• Sealing delicate bakery items and fresh pasta in a protective atmosphere.
• Preserving the quality of fresh produce and cut vegetables.
• Packaging dairy products like cheese portions to prevent spoilage.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on tray size and film type, but units commonly achieve several cycles per minute.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by configuration.

Compressed air

A reliable supply of compressed air is typically needed for pneumatic functions, with pressure requirements commonly around 6-8 bar.

Gas supply

For MAP applications, a precise supply of food-grade gases (e.g., N2, CO2, O2 mixtures) is essential, connected via appropriate regulators.

Tray materials

This equipment is generally compatible with a range of tray materials, including APET, CPET, PP, and aluminium, provided they are suitable for heat sealing.

Film types

Commonly processes various barrier films designed for MAP applications, including anti-fog and peelable options.

Footprint

A Multivac T300 typically has a compact to medium footprint, suitable for integration into existing production lines, but exact dimensions should be verified.

• What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?

  MAP involves altering the gaseous atmosphere inside a package to slow down product degradation and extend shelf life. This is achieved by flushing out ambient air and replacing it with a specific gas mixture.

• Can this unit handle different tray sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used tray sealer?

• Is training required to operate a Multivac T300?

• What are the benefits of using a Multivac T300 for food packaging?

Thermoforming equipment holds a solid reputation for reliability and cost effectiveness in food packaging operations. Buyers typically value machines offering consistent forming quality and minimal downtime. When purchasing used units, buyers should prioritise inspecting heating elements, mould condition, and hydraulic systems, as these components experience significant wear. Strengths include straightforward maintenance requirements, good availability of spare parts, and proven performance across various packaging applications. Industry sentiment favours models with proven track records and complete maintenance documentation.
