Thermoforming machines for food

AL.MA. provides a line of machines dedicated to the packing of foodstuffs, dry or creamy, able to meet the specific requirements of this sector, such as hygiene, high productivity, efficiency and reliability. As far as hygiene issue is concerned, a new line for food market has been implemented, with frame and protections made in stainless steel. The critical mechanical parts of the machine and the whole area under the loading area are protected with stainless steel protections. Shape of the panels and design avoid the stagnation of residual of product and water used to clean the machine.
A standard program for cleaning the machine can be activated with the PLC.
All that without prejudicing the usual robustness of the machines, so that it is possible to dispatch them completely assembled, even for lengths higher than 10 m. Of course, vacuum and modified atmosphere is a standard for many products. Once the size of the package is fixed, the technology used by AL.MA. in making vacuum in the sealing station allows to get a substantial saving of packaging material. Moreover, vacuum is uniformly made all over the volume in the sealing station. That was crucial, e.g., for a machine designed to get 12 packages per cycle containing 250 gr. of fresh pasta each with a total productivity of 1600 kg./h.
All these machines are tailored on the needs of each customer and can be equipped with printing units of any type and with many different accessories. The software of the PLC allows a perfect dialogue with other machines working in the same production line. The high productivity of our machines is guaranteed by the possibility to run at a good speed, even with vacuum and modified atmosphere.
