Product introduction of Food Vacuum Packing Machine
Food Vacuum Packing Machine, also known as thermoforming packaging machine or roll stock vacuum packaging machine, is an advanced automatic horizontal packaging system widely used in food and non-food industries.
The machine forms packages using two film rolls—forming film (bottom) and sealing film (top). It supports vacuum packaging, MAP (modified atmosphere packaging), nitrogen filling, and vacuum skin packaging (VSP), making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
It is commonly used in meat processing plants, cheese packaging factories, seafood production lines, medical device packaging, and chemical product packaging industries.


Working principle
Step 1: Bottom film (forming film) is fed into thermoforming station
Step 2: Film is heated and stretched into tray-shaped cavities
Step 3: Products are automatically or manually loaded into cavities
Step 4: Optional nitrogen or MAP gas is injected into packs
Step 5: Top sealing film is aligned over filled cavities
Step 6: Vacuum sealing chamber removes air from packaging
Step 7: Vertical sealing system applies heat and pressure sealing
Step 8: Cutting system separates finished packs into units
Step 9: Finished products are discharged automatically
Step 10: Fault monitoring system ensures continuous safe operation
