Introducing the APM 2500 Thermoforming Vacuum Packaging Machine

Discover the APM 2500, an advanced thermoforming vacuum packaging machine meticulously designed for packaging food, non-food, or medical products. This innovative machine directly creates packages using bottom and top rolls of film stock. Tailored for small-scale business operations, the APM 2500 series excels in packing meat, fish, cheese, seafood, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, and more. With versatile options such as vacuum, gas flushing, and MAP, the APM 2500 series emerges as your go-to roll stock thermoformer, ensuring flexibility and efficiency in packaging solutions.

    • Capacity max.10 cycles.
    • Bottom film: Rigid or Flexible
    • Top film: Flexible (PA/PE film, paper, aluminium foil)
    • Loading area max.800mm.
