Thermoforming vacuum packaging machines

What are thermoforming vacuum machines and where are they used

Thermoforming vacuum machines are industrial packaging systems that create packaging directly inside the machine using lower film rolls. They are designed for continuous production in meat, fish, dairy, delicatessen and ready-meal packaging. In HoReCa, these machines ensure fast, precise and hygienic packaging for safe storage and transport.

Advantages for food producers and the HoReCa sector

Thermoforming machines reduce manual labour and deliver consistent, repeatable packaging quality. Precisely formed film adapts to the product shape, ensuring both a professional appearance and secure storage. HoReCa and production facilities value the stainless-steel hygienic construction and long operating cycles without interruptions.

• consistent vacuum and MAP packaging;
• high output for large production volumes;
• material savings due to precise film forming;
• improved product safety and appearance.

Key technical parameters to consider before purchase

Before selecting a machine, it is important to evaluate packaging depth, film thickness, production speed and control system capabilities. Industrial lines often require automation integration, safety systems and reliable manufacturer support.

• forming depth and width;
• compatible film types (rigid and flexible film);
• vacuum and gas functions;
• programmable settings for various products.

Packaging types and materials

Thermoforming machines handle different film thicknesses, providing shallow cavities for ready meals and deep cavities for fresh meat and fish. Depending on the product, vacuum, MAP or skin packaging can be used to extend shelf life and improve product presentation.

How to choose a thermoforming vacuum machine for your production volume

Medium-sized facilities benefit from compact systems with efficient operation, while large factories require powerful lines with several forming stations. BHS specialists help assess required capacity, product range and working intensity to select the right solution.
