Six Ways to Seal & Protect

The Thermoformer is the ultimate all-in-one powerhouse, offering the broadest range of packaging formats on a single inline machine. It allows a single production line to run multiple formats without requiring a platform change. Its capabilities include:

  • Sealing Only: Perfect for simple, ambient closures.
  • Full MAP (with Vacuum): Guarantees precise atmospheric control for maximum shelf-life extension.
  • Vacuum Skin Packing: Delivers a tight, premium, product-hugging finish.
  • Vacuum Sealing: Ensures maximum air removal for traditional vacuum-pouch style packs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Tray MAP Machines

What does a thermoformer do differently from a tray sealer?
It forms, fills, and seals packs directly from roll-stock bottom film in one continuous inline process — forming the tray cavity itself from film, rather than sealing a pre-formed tray.
How does it achieve consistent pack geometry and deep draw?
An electrically heated forming station shapes the film, a heavy vacuum pump enables deep draw and MAP, and a water chiller cools the mould so every pack comes out with the same geometry and seal integrity.
What film widths and thicknesses does it support?
Bottom film widths of 297–720 mm (custom widths available) and thicknesses from 160–1100 microns, in flexible or rigid film types.
How many pack layouts can it produce?
Many — from single-cavity full-frame trays to multi-pocket grids such as 3×4 or 2×4, plus specialty formats like Kaju Katri portion packs.
What packaging types can it perform?
Sealing only, N₂ flushing, MAP with vacuum, vacuum skin packing, and vacuum sealing — the same core technologies as Travac's tray machines, applied inline from roll-stock.
What is the cycle speed?
4–8 cycles per minute.
