Bosch Packaging Technology TFC 5532 thermoform, fill and seal machine

The TFC 5532 thermoform, fill and seal machine with labelling system from Bosch Packaging Technology offers a high output and design flexibility for hygienic packaging applications.

It is suitable for liquid and viscous foods such as yoghurts, desserts and fresh products which require extended shelf life. The machine’s extended 4x6 cup configuration enables an output of up to 43,200 cups/h and handling of various cup sizes ranging from portion packs to dessert cups.

The machine is available for clean and ultraclean hygienic packaging. In addition, it can handle hot-fill applications and products with particulates of up to 25 mm in diameter.

The TFC 5532 includes Bosch’s patented in-mould labelling system, which minimises the machine’s space requirement. In one step, 24 single labels are created and fed in parallel into the machine. The system also enables tool-less changeovers to allow more flexible production and short downtime.

The machine’s ergonomic, compact design and low height facilitate access to all parts, simplifying cleaning and maintenance. Its hygienic design is further enhanced with the positioning of drives above the cup transport area.

A semi-enclosed tunnel with overpressure of filtered air maintains the required hygienic level during product filling to avoid recontamination.
