What is thermoforming?

Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable temperature, formed into a specific shape in a mould, and then trimmed to create a finished product. In packaging, it creates trays, blisters, or sealed packs.

Can this machine handle different package sizes?

Yes, thermoformers like the ULMA TFS 300 are designed for quick format changes, allowing for different package sizes and shapes by swapping tooling.

Is vacuum packaging or gas flushing possible with this unit?

Yes, this model typically offers optional vacuum packaging and Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) capabilities for extended product shelf life.

What kind of maintenance is required?

Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, checking seals, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting for wear. The hygienic design assists in simplifying cleaning procedures.

What are the benefits of using a thermoformer over other packaging methods?

Thermoformers offer cost-effective in-line packaging, improved product presentation, and the ability to create robust, tamper-evident packs. They can also significantly increase productivity compared to manual or semi-automatic methods.
