pressure to achieve a consistent, high-quality
seal, " Uebele said.
Uebele further explained, " Smaller machines, in
general, have less expensive, less capable lifting
systems - when you throw in a 14 track, 3 row
array, these smaller, inexpensive machines are
unable to seal it properly. There's just too much
surface area and they're not able to provide
the minimum required force for a consistent
package seal. "
" But, this is where our unique machine
[the F286] shines. It can produce the
same sealing forces that our other larger
thermoformers do, " Uebele said. " That's
specifically why we developed this machine
for this application. "
Bonus benefits
In addition to the high output and accuracy
benefits that are most sought after in a
thermoforming machine, the F286 also offers
a variety of cutting systems. Zig-zag cutting
is available, as well as machine direction
perforation. All standard peel corners or
peel headers are available to processors in
addition to a tear slit or tear notch for easyopen
options. The machine is designed to run
the most common flexible films. Due to the
superior lifting system force available, the
F286 can also form aluminum foil films. This
ability makes it perfect for retort packaging
and even military MRE style packages.
Both the top and bottom film can be preprinted
registered film to help communicate
branding information with logos, product
descriptions and claims. Code dating and
best-buy dating can be applied to the top web
after the sealing process is complete in the
discharge section of the machine. Printing can
be done across the web on all of the packages
within the array.
And like all MULTIVAC packaging machines,
the F286 was designed to satisfy strict
hygienic industry requirements. By using
sanitary design principles and high-quality
materials, MULTIVAC ensures that its
equipment is conducive to safe and quick
cleaning.
