Precision Tray Forming from Blank to Box
The TF-3500 transforms blanks into high-quality trays through a seamless, engineered sequence. Each stage reflects advanced automation and meticulous design, delivering consistent precision and performance.
Base Tray Feeding
Flat-pack trays are fed into the system with precise positioning. Automated handling ensures consistent material alignment.
Base Tray Forming
Precision four-corner folding shapes trays with exact geometry in milliseconds. Supports sizes from 50–250 mm and board thicknesses from 10–40 pt, ensuring flexibility and consistent quality while reducing the need for pre-formed trays.
Vac Tray Placement
Vac trays are handled by a servo-driven pick-and-place system, ensuring accuracy and repeatable positioning for seamless downstream operations.
Tray Transfer for
Off-line Filling
Engineered for seamless integration with existing equipment and conveyors, the transfer module ensures smooth, accurate handoff for offline tray filling operations.
Filled Tray Weight Check & Quality Control
Each filled tray is weighed with 0.1 g precision to ensure compliance with global net quantity and food labeling standards (EU, US FDA, Codex). Non-compliant trays are automatically diverted, reducing manual handling and maintaining consistent production quality.
Tray Lid Placement
Lids are automatically positioned using a precision servo system, delivering consistent alignment and repeatable placement to maintain product quality and ensure smooth downstream processing.
Wafer Seal Application
Wafer seals are applied with precision to each package. This ensures product integrity, regulatory compliance, and provides a tamper-evident seal for enhanced consumer safety.
Finished Product Delivery
Completed trays move seamlessly to packaging or shipping. Each unit is serialized using Delta-X Tracker, ensuring traceability, audit compliance, and optimized handling for maximum operational efficiency.
