F-series This tray thermoforming line by Sealpac integrates smart technology that automatically regulates energy consumption, detects maintenance needs and optimizes performance via the iMode system. Functions such as automatic film alignment and automatic chain tension correction ensure maximum process reliability with minimum manual intervention. Smart features on the forming, sealing and cutting stations ensure reliable processes and fast format changes, while intelligent heat recovery and optimized heating and cooling processes reduce energy consumption. A touch-screen interface and Industry 4.0-capable software make operation and integration into digitized production environments easy. Sealpac, based in Oldenburg, Germany, is represented in the U.S. by PreciPak LLC.
What’s new? The F-series, which made its debut in May at the IFFA trade fair for meat and alternative protein packaging in Frankfurt.
Benefits Energy efficiency, flexibility, ease of use and smart operation — the company describes the F-series machines as “self-thinking thermoformers that continuously analyze their own processes.”
