FachPack 2019: MULTIVAC to demonstrate new thermoforming and traysealer innovations

25 Jul 2019 --- MULTIVAC is set to showcase its new X-line machine generation at FachPack 2019 in Nuremberg, Germany, on 24-26 September. The X-line exhibits will include the RX 4.0 thermoforming packaging machine and the TX 710 traysealer. The company will also be presenting the MULTIVAC PaperBoard range for producing MAP and vacuum skin packs on thermoforming packaging machines and traysealers, in addition to its labeling and marking innovations, including a new generation of cross-web labelers and new direct web printers.

MULTIVAC has expanded its X-line machine generation with the addition of a further future-proofed model: the new TX 710 traysealer. The features of this traysealer are a robust machine concept and an intelligent control system, which together provide high flexibility, output and reliability. During FachPack, the TX 710 will be the centerpiece of a fully automated packaging line, which also includes an L 310 conveyor belt labeler for the wrap-around labeling of packs, known as full-wrap labeling.MULTIVAC Full Wrap Labeling

A second packaging line will showcase the RX 4.0 thermoforming packaging machine, which features a range of innovative technology. Thanks to its comprehensive sensor system and seamless digitalization, it brings “a new dimension to packaging reliability, quality and performance.” At FachPack, the RX 4.0 will be equipped with a new generation of cross-web labeler, which gives even greater labeling accuracy at an even higher level of output, the company says.

On display will be a wide range of concepts which contribute to reducing packaging material consumption in the production of packs, as well as other concepts for producing packs, which meet current requirements for recyclability. One example of this is the MULTIVAC PaperBoard range, which is made up of a wide variety of paper fiber-based materials for producing MAP and vacuum skin packs on thermoforming packaging machines and traysealers. This innovative packaging concept will be shown at the trade fair on the compact R 105 MF thermoforming packaging machine, an economical entry-level model for producing vacuum skin packs in small and medium-sized batches. The packs can be designed in such a way that the end-user can separate the cardboard backing from the plastic barrier layer and then put it into the paper recycling.

The fully automatic T 300 L traysealer is also a space-saving, entry-level model. The machine can be designed as multi-track and combined with various discharge systems. Thanks to the simple die change, it can quickly be converted for different pack sizes and shapes. All conventional trays from a wide range of materials can be run, as can pre-cut cardboard sheets.
