Vacuum Thermoforming System for String Cheese Packaging

Product introduction of Vacuum Thermoforming System

Vacuum Thermoforming System is a fully automatic packaging solution designed for high-efficiency food production environments. Operators only need to place film rolls into the machine, and the system automatically forms trays, fills products, and seals packages in a single line.

It supports flexible packaging shapes and is widely used in meat, seafood, cheese, ready meals, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products. With advanced servo control, Busch vacuum pump technology, and Mitsubishi HMI touch interface, it ensures stable performance, low noise operation, and high packaging precision for industrial-scale food processing.

Working principle

How does a vacuum thermoforming system work?

Step 1: Film Loading
Operators place lower film rolls onto the machine using air expansion shaft.

Step 2: Film Feeding
Lower film is smoothly transported into the thermoforming area via sensor-controlled system.

Step 3: Thermoforming
Film is heated and formed into customized tray shapes using vacuum pressure.

Step 4: Product Filling
Food products are automatically or manually placed into formed cavities.

Step 5: Vacuum Sealing
Top film is applied and vacuum sealed using Busch pump system.

Step 6: Coding & Cutting
Batch coding and precise cutting separate finished packs.

Step 7: Output Collection
Finished vacuum-packed products are automatically conveyed for packaging.
