Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is widely used for packaging fresh and processed foods. Plastic trays designed for MAP packaging provide a container for food products and a suitable sealing area for the lidding film.
Hengxing Thermoforming Machinery provides thermoforming equipment solutions for manufacturing plastic food trays. Depending on the product design and machine configuration, the equipment can be evaluated for producing trays intended for modified atmosphere packaging applications.
The tray is an important part of a MAP package. Its dimensions, depth, structure, material, and sealing-rim design should match the packaging requirements.
Potential applications include:
Fresh meat and poultry trays
Seafood packaging trays
Cooked food and prepared meal trays
Fresh produce and other food packaging trays
The suitable tray design and material depend on the packaged product, storage conditions, sealing system, and applicable food-contact requirements.
A suitable thermoforming solution should be evaluated according to the actual tray specifications and production targets.
Important considerations include:
Tray length, width, and forming depth
Plastic sheet material and thickness
Mold layout and cavity number
Forming and cutting requirements
Finished tray dimensions and edge quality
Required production capacity
Customized mold design and machine configuration can be discussed based on product drawings or physical samples.
A thermoforming machine produces the plastic tray. A complete MAP packaging process may also require product loading, gas flushing or vacuum-gas replacement, lidding-film sealing, and cutting.
The exact equipment arrangement depends on the customer's production line.
Hengxing focuses on thermoforming machinery for plastic packaging products. Gas flushing and sealing functions should be confirmed separately when planning a complete MAP packaging line.
Hengxing Thermoforming Machinery (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has been manufacturing thermoforming machinery since 1999.
If you are looking for a machine to produce plastic trays for MAP food packaging, send us your tray sample or drawing, material specifications, sheet thickness, and target production capacity.
