MF Series Cup Forming, Filling and Sealing
Machine overview
Huge value, small footprint
Designed to handle yoghurt, fresh cheese, tomato sauce, fruit puree, water and more, the form, fill and seal machines of the M-F series are one of the market’s most compact solutions for cups in a wide range of shapes and sizes, combining a series of processes on one single machine.
Cups are thermoformed, filled with product, hermetically sealed with a film or foil and cut into singles or multi-packs.
Cups can be designed cost-effectively with interesting 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.
