Multivac’s new R 085 entry-level model is suitable for companies that require automatic thermoforming packaging equipment. The machine can be ordered with four standard format layouts. It is suitable for packing both sliced products and individual items, and it is able to run rigid as well as flexible films. The R 085 can be used to produce packs with inert gas as well as vacuum packs so that users can meet extended shelf-life requirements for their packaged products.
With a thermoforming depth up to 80 mm, the R 085 provides a wide range of possibilities for pack design. Electric drives are used for both the lifting units and the transport chain, which fulfils requirements for improved energy efficiency.
This new product is Multivac’s response to current trends in the packaging market. According to the supplier, the demand is rising in almost all sectors for high-quality product packaging in small batch sizes. Additionally, entry-level solutions, which are easy to operate, are currently as much in demand as highly flexible solutions, which can be converted quickly and simply.
The R 085 is equipped with the IPC 06 machine control as well as the HMI 2.0 with a 12.1-in. touchscreen. The HMI is integrated in the control cabinet and ensures simple and ergonomic operation of the machine. The R 085 also has a quick-change system for forming and sealing dies with slide-in technology that’s integrated as standard in the die design. This makes it easier to convert the machine to other formats.
