Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 120 packs per minute, depending on tray size and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with an appropriate amperage rating.

Air supply

Pneumatic systems are common, requiring a compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar.

Footprint

A machine of this configuration (4-lane with denesting and ejection) typically requires a floor space of 3-5 metres in length and 1.5-2 metres in width.

Construction material

As described, units are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Tray materials

This equipment is typically compatible with a range of tray materials, including CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium.
