Fruit Tray Thermoforming Machine | PP & PET Fruit Packaging
Hengxing Fruit Tray Thermoforming Machine is engineered for automated production of plastic fruit trays, fresh produce packaging, fruit containers, and other thin-wall thermoformed packaging solutions. The machine can be configured for PP, PET, PS, PLA, and other thermoforming materials based on final product specifications and production requirements.
Applications
Our thermoforming machines produce diverse plastic fruit packaging products including:
Strawberry trays
Blueberry trays
Grape trays
Cherry trays
Fresh fruit trays
Mixed fruit trays
Supermarket fruit packaging
Fresh produce trays
Plastic fruit containers
Fruit packaging boxes
Small food trays
Customized fresh produce packaging
Mold designs are customizable based on fruit size, tray dimensions, cavity count, product depth, and packaging requirements.
Material Compatibility
PP Fruit Trays
PP material is ideal for food and fresh produce packaging requiring excellent toughness and impact resistance. Our PP Fruit Tray Thermoforming Machines accommodate various tray sizes and product designs.
PET Fruit Trays
PET is selected for clear, highly transparent packaging that allows direct product visibility. PET Fruit Tray Thermoforming Machines produce transparent packaging perfect for strawberries, blueberries, grapes, cherries, and other fresh produce.
PS and Other Materials
PS and alternative thermoforming materials are available based on packaging applications, product design, and customer specifications. Material selection considers tray thickness, forming depth, production speed, product performance, and local packaging regulations.
Production Process
Typical Automatic Fruit Tray Production Process:
Sheet Feeding → Heating → Forming → Punching → Cutting → Stacking
The thermoforming sheet is fed into the machine and heated to optimal forming temperature. The heated sheet is then formed using customized fruit tray molds with positive pressure, negative pressure, or combined forming methods. After forming, products are cut from the sheet and automatically stacked for packaging. This integrated process reduces manual handling and ensures consistent production workflow.
Positive & Negative Pressure Thermoforming
For fruit trays with complex shapes, depths, corners, ribs, and surface details, positive and negative pressure thermoforming provides superior precision and flexibility. Our solutions are configured based on:
Fruit tray dimensions
Product depth
Material type
Sheet thickness
Mold structure
Production output
Cutting requirements
Stacking method
Our engineering team evaluates product drawings or samples to recommend optimal machine configurations.
