Application: PP Trays application
Lakatos TC thermoforming machines are recommended to manufacture these packs. The reason is that TC molds and cuts on the same station, stacks and takes the packing piles counted on a conveyor belt.
PP trays are used to pack several types of food. They are recommended for frozen food and they can go on the microwave oven. In addition, they may have articulated lead or separated lead. The most common ones are 150mm x 110 mm (102), 180 mm x 135 mm (103), 240 mm x 180 mm (105). PP from 0,3 to 0,55mm thick is the most common material used to produce such disposable packing.
The manufacture of these parts demands the following technologies offered by Lakatos:
- In-mold cutting - there is no decentralization of the cut compared with the molding (PP is essential).

- In-mold cutting - there is no decentralization of the cut compared with the molding (PP is essential).
- Steel-rule knife cutting - less cost of the mold compared with punched cut machines.
- Pressure forming that guarantees highspeed and more precise definition in the molded parts (mandatory for PP parts).
- Plug together with movement of the top plate movement or independent movement by servo.
- Clamp Frame.
