Thermoforming packaging solution for medium production volumes
Optimize your medium-volume packing with a compact thermoforming machine designed for efficiency and sustainability, reducing film waste through advanced gas flushing while seamlessly integrating into existing production lines for continuous, high-speed operations.
Packages and Seals Diverse Food Products
The Weber wePACK 4000 is a modular thermoforming packaging machine designed to accommodate medium production volumes of up to 100 packages per minute. This equipment is specially suited for a wide array of food products, including cheese, deli meats, and ready meals, offering flexibility in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), vacuum, and skinning applications. What sets the wePACK 4000 apart is its integration of a special gas flushing system that significantly reduces material waste by cutting bottom film trim by approximately 50% and eliminating top film trim. The wePACK 4000 employs servo technology for its main transport chain, promoting sustainability and maintaining precise control. It can be seamlessly integrated into existing Weber line solutions, benefiting from common control and operating technologies across to simplify operations. With a customizable machine length, variable film widths, and a wide range of film material options, it meets diverse packaging needs. This machine not only ensures energy efficiency but also supports sustainability with its compatibility with Weber PaperTech for fiber-based films, ensuring high-quality packaging that preserves product integrity.
