A mould of its own for a new pack
This 2009 Multivac R105 thermoformer went to a customer in Norway. The heart of this job was the tooling: we built a new mould for the machine, so it forms exactly the pack they need.
A thermoformer is nothing without the right mould. The machine draws the tray from the bottom web, fills it, pulls vacuum and seals the top web onto it. The shape, the depth and the layout of that tray all come from the mould. A different pack means new tooling — and we make that ourselves.
Only doing what is needed
The machine itself was in good working order. A full overhaul would have been money down the drain. So we did what was needed to hand it over clean and properly working: checked over, adjusted where it mattered, cleaned, and tested with the new mould fitted.
That saves cost and time without giving anything away on what leaves our workshop. We look at every machine to see what it really needs — sometimes that is a full overhaul, here it was not.
