Application: Eggs Packing application

Eggs packings can also be manufactured by Lakatos thermoformers. The recommended machine to manufacture those items is the TC, which molds and cuts on the same station, stacks and takes the packing pile counted on a conveyor belt. The most common egg packings are the chicken egg ones with 12 units, base and lid with 20 and 30 eggs, as well as the quail egg packing with 30 units. The material used to produce those disposables is PET usually between 0,28 and 0,45mm thick. The manufacture of these parts demands the following technologies:
- In-mold cutting - there is no decentralization of the cut compared with the molding.
- 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. Briefly understand the productivity of our machines for some parts:
