PACKAGING PACKING
MULTIVAC Brings
R515 onto the
Market
The R 515 offers standard dies and format sets which are
specially tailored to the fresh meat industry
With the R 515 machine, MULTIVAC is bringing a
new model of its high performance thermoforming
packaging machines onto the market, a model
which is designed for the particular requirements
of the fresh meat industry. Typical applications are
fresh meat packs as well as wholesale and transportation
packs. The R 515 is laid out for specific die
formats and offering all the advantages of the R 535
high performance model.
The fresh meat industry places special demands on
the packaging of its products: this is frequently not
required to appeal to consumers at the point of sale,
but rather to protect the fresh meat during transport
to the wholesaler or processor. Cost effectiveness,
output and hygiene are therefore right at the
top of the list of requirements. MUL-TIVAC fulfills the
wishes of the industrial meat processor with the new
R 515 machine model, which has the right price-performance
ratio.
The R 515 offers standard dies and format sets which
are specially tailored to the fresh meat industry.
The new ma-chine model is designed for running
flexible films, such as for example PA/PE multi-layer
films. The R 515 is also equipped with register mark
control for running printed upper webs. In addition
to vacuum packs, it is also possible to produce
packs with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).
The machine cycle output is around 10 cycles per
minute.
