- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on pack size and film type, commonly ranging from 6 to 15 cycles per minute.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 230/400V at 50-60 Hz.
- Power consumption
- Power consumption for a machine of this size is typically in the range of 15-25 kW, depending on configuration and operational intensity.
- Compressed air requirement
- A stable supply of compressed air, typically 6-8 bar, is essential for pneumatic functions.
- Gas supply (MAP)
- For Modified Atmosphere Packaging, a regulated gas supply, commonly 4-6 bar, is required.
- Typical footprint
- While exact dimensions vary, thermoformers like the RE25 typically require a significant operational footprint, often several metres in length, plus space for material handling.
- Material compatibility
- Commonly processes a range of flexible and semi-rigid films, including APET, PP, PS, PVC, and various laminates.
- Hygiene standards
- Units of this type are designed to meet high hygiene standards, often featuring stainless steel construction and wash-down capabilities suitable for food processing environments.
