Thermoform/fill/seal (TF/F/S) machines use heat and vacuum or pressure applied to continuous rolls of film to form rigid or semi-rigid containers of various shapes and sizes prior to filling, hermetically sealing and cutting them into individual units.
Machines that heat and apply vacuum or pressure to continuous rolls of thermoformable film to form packages such as trays, cups, portion packs, and often their lids prior to filling, hermetically sealing and cutting the package. Examples include portion packs of chocolate pudding or trays of sausages, pasta or medical devices.
Machines that heat and apply vacuum or pressure to continuous rolls of nonrigid thermoformable film prior to filling and hermetically sealing small blister packs, such as in pharmaceutical or nutraceutical capsule applications.
