How Does a Thermoforming Packaging Machine Work? Discover the CEHUMA CM Series!
In the modern food and medical industries, product freshness, hygiene, and extended shelf life are more important than ever. That’s exactly where CEHUMA CM Series Thermoforming Packaging Machines come into play — offering advanced solutions for vacuum and MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) with either flexible or rigid film.
So, how does this smart technology actually work?
Let’s break it down into simple steps using the diagram above
Basic Flow of the Thermoforming Packaging Process:
- Forming
Everything starts with film unwinding. The base film (rigid or flexible) is heated and then thermoformed into tray-like cavities using a forming mold. These cavities will later hold the product.
- Loading
After the forming section, the product is manually or automatically loaded into the formed cavities — whether it's meat, dairy, seafood, chicken, bakery items, fruits, dates, or even medical tools.
- Sealing
The top film is placed over the loaded cavities. Depending on your packaging requirement, the machine performs:
- Vacuum sealing, removing all air from the pack, or
- MAP sealing, replacing the air with a protective gas mixture that extends shelf life without additives.
- Cutting
The sealed packs are cut into individual units according to your size specs. This can include full or perforated cuts.
- Product Exit
The final packaged product is ready to be conveyed for boxing, labeling, or immediate shipment.
