Multivac R 085 thermoforming packaging machine

Multivac has expanded its range with the R 085 entry-level model thermoforming packaging machine. The machine can be used for running both flexible and rigid films and is therefore suitable for packing both food and non-food products.

The company says the product is aimed at those companies in the widest range of sectors that want to begin automatic thermoforming packaging.

The machine can be ordered with four standard format layouts and is suitable for packing both sliced products and individual items. It can be used to produce packs with inert gas as well as vacuum packs, so users can meet the requirements for extended shelf life for their packaged products.

It offers a thermoforming depth of up to 80 mm. Electric drives are used for both the lifting units and the transport chain, improving energy efficiency.

The R 085 is equipped with both the IPC 06 machine control and the HMI 2.0 user interface with 12.1″ touch screen. The HMI is integrated into the control cabinet and ensures simple and ergonomic operation of the machine, according to the company.

A quick-change system for forming and sealing dies uses slide-in technology, which is integrated as standard in the die design. This makes it easier to convert the machine to other formats.

The machine is designed in the Multivac Hygienic Design, which enables it to be cleaned easily inside and out.
