Thermoforming form, fill, and seal

Thermoforming includes the extmsion of sheets, thicker than 0.25 mm, followed by forming a reheated sheet in an open-face mold by pressure, vacuum, or both. Sheet of less than 0.25 mm thick is therm oformed in-line, and filled and sealed with contents such as processed meats, cheeses, and pastas. 

All the above processes can also be used in a form fill seal process with, for example, thermoforming and cold forming blister packs. Rommelag type bottle pack systems use an extrusion process where the container is formed by either blowing or vacuum (smaller sizes). Immediately after this, containers are filled, and the pack is sealed (welded) by using the residual heat in an extension to the main body of the container. 

Film Processing Methods For use on form-fill-seal and overwrap equipment as well as thermoforming equipment.
