Machine versions
EF 400
The EF 400 provides the most versatile answer to industry needs in terms of cup forming, filling and sealing, with excellent levels of productivity and potential for tailor-designed cups and filling styles.
Product changeover is quick and easy and labelling techniques include straight or conical IML as well as in-mould sticker labels.
Cups can be designed cost-effectively with many labelling solutions and freedom of cup geometry. Not only a marketing tool, the label also strengthens the cup’s sidewall stability, enabling a thinner bottom web resulting in lower material costs.

EF 600-825
These are machines to opt for when high outputs are required along with worry-free operation and impressive reliability. EF600 and EF825 handle a wide range of dairy products and can process innovative thermoformed shapes and designs.
