That depends on your product, packaging method, format, material, output and the production space available. For smaller, compact configurations, the Maximus RE or Optimus are good options; for higher output and more extensive equipment, the Primus or Primus MP. For pre-formed trays, VARIOVAC offers the semi-automatic Rotarius tray sealer and the fully automatic Linus tray sealer.
The Rotarius is a semi-automatic tray sealer with a rotary table and dual-tool system. The Linus 650 and Linus 1100 are fully automatic inline machines. The Linus 650 achieves up to 15 cycles, or around 60 trays, per minute. The Linus 1100 is designed for medium to high output and flexible format changes.
A thermoforming packaging machine heats and forms the bottom film directly in the machine. This gives you great freedom in format, pack depth and packaging method. A tray sealer seals pre-formed trays with a top film and suits production concepts built around fixed tray formats and the product presentation that goes with them. Which solution fits better depends on your output, the range of formats and the packaging material.
That depends on the tray dimensions, the material, the flange geometry and the top film. Based on this information, VARIOVAC checks whether a suitable tool can be built.
Yes. A tray sealer can handle both MAP and skin applications on the same machine. Which combinations are possible in each case is subject to a technical check.
All VARIOVAC system extensions are available for the Linus 1100, for example as a line with tray denester, labeller, printer and filling system. The Linus 650 can also be combined with additional systems such as a tray denester, filling station, labeller or pick-and-place robot. The specific line configuration is tailored to your product and the output you need.
