Multivac - Thermoformer R245

• Packaging of food products such as ready meals, fresh meat, and dairy items.
• Creation of medical device packaging, ensuring sterility and protection.
• Forming of consumer goods packaging, including blister packs and clamshells.
• Production of industrial components and trays for various manufacturing sectors.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput typically ranges from 10 to 30 cycles per minute, depending on mould size and material.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage based on heating elements and motor power.

Forming area

The maximum forming area commonly found on units of this type can range from 400x300mm to 600x400mm, though specific dimensions vary.

Material compatibility

Thermoformers are typically capable of processing a range of thermoplastic films, including APET, RPET, PP, PS, PVC, and PLA.

Footprint

For a machine of this size, a typical footprint might be around 4 to 6 metres in length and 1.5 to 2 metres in width, excluding ancillary equipment.

Cooling requirements

Units commonly require a chilled water supply for mould cooling, typically between 8-15°C, to ensure efficient cycle times and part quality.

• What is the typical lead time for spare parts for a used thermoformer?

  Lead times for spare parts can vary significantly depending on the specific component and manufacturer. Critical wear parts may be more readily available, while custom or obsolete parts could have longer lead times.

• Can this machine be adapted for different packaging formats?

• What level of operator training is typically required?

• What are the common maintenance requirements for a used thermoformer?

• Is CE certification usually present on these machines?

Thermoforming equipment holds solid reputation in food packaging circles for reliable, cost-effective production of plastic containers and film. Buyers typically seek machines with consistent heating and forming capabilities, minimal downtime history, and available spare parts. Common strengths include versatility across material types, straightforward maintenance requirements, and longevity when properly serviced. Used units often deliver strong value, though condition assessment of heating elements and forming stations proves critical. Industry sentiment favours well-maintained examples from established manufacturers.
