Application: Food application
For this type of application, Lakatos has continuous equipment capable of large scale production. They
automatically shape, cut, stack and count. The suitable machines for disposable food packaging are the TC line, which molds and cuts at the same station, as well as the TCM machines, which depending on the setting, can mold and cut at the first station, cut or punch at the second station and cut at the third station.
Thermoforming is responsible for large scale in the manufacture of disposable food packaging. This type of packaging is used for products such as breads, candies, eggs and fruits. Another example is the two-piece packing with lid and base separated. This type of product is used to pack cakes and some fruits. These products are normally produced with PET, PVC or PS plastic rolls from 0,2 to 0,6mm thick.
Our machines feature all the mandatory technologies in the production of these packages, positive pressure (pressure forming), servo drives for fast cycles and precise stacks, as well as the use of servo plug assists or clamp frame.
