Inline Features for INPAK Thermoforming Machines
Modern packaging production is about more than forming and cutting. Many products need glueing, absorbent pads, quality inspection or labels before they leave the line. With Inline Features, INPAK integrates these steps directly into the thermoforming machine, so your products leave the stacker ready for packing.
From Forming to a Finished Pack in One Line
Inline stations work in the same cycle as the machine. This removes separate off-line processes, reduces manual handling and saves floor space. Inline stations can be added to all INPAK /3 and /4 machines as well as to TSR in-mould cutting machines. One station (glueing or padding) or two stations (glueing for the sealing surface plus padding) can be combined.
Available Inline Options
- Inline glueing – adhesive application on the sealing surface or for additional components
- Inline padding – absorbent pad placement for meat, poultry and fish trays
- Inline camera control – vision inspection of formed products before stacking
- Inline labelling – product, brand and traceability labels applied on the line
Engineering Partnership with Solution Suppliers
INPAK is an engineering company. For third-party inline solutions such as glueing, padding, camera control or labelling, we agree the required mechanical and electronic configuration with the supplier’s R&D centre in the background and update our own machine accordingly. You receive one integrated line with a single machine control.
INPAK-Specific Custom Projects
Beyond third-party systems, INPAK also offers small or comprehensive developments designed directly by our engineering team. Tell us about your product and your production challenge – together we will develop the right solution. Contact us to discuss your project.
