Compact Form‑Fill‑Seal system for single‑serve dairy portions with industrial performance
The Mini Portion Thermoformer Filler is a compact Form‑Fill‑Seal (FFS) system engineered for the production of individual portions of dairy and food products such as butter, jams, sauces, and spreads. Despite its reduced footprint, the unit delivers industrial throughput of 18–22 cycles per minute, integrated into a structure measuring approximately 7.2 × 3.9 ft (2.2 × 1.2 m).
Constructed entirely in AISI 304 stainless steel, the machine operates as a fully automatic workstation that integrates container forming, filling, sealing, and cutting in a continuous and hygienic cycle. From a base roll of PVC, PS, or PET, the system thermoforms multiple small cavities with depths of up to 2.0 in (50 mm).
Once formed, the cavities are filled with liquid or pasty products—including honey, ketchup, mayonnaise, and butter—using a precision dosing system. The machine then applies an aluminum lidding film, performs hermetic sealing, and completes the process with final die‑cutting to deliver finished portions ready for secondary packaging.
Its ergonomic and compact design allows the installation of a complete single‑portion production line in a minimal floor area, making it especially suitable for facilities with space constraints or for pilot and diversification projects.
Key benefits
• Maximizes return per square foot of plant area
• Eliminates outsourcing costs for single‑portion production
• Ideal for line startups and product diversification
• Targets institutional, airline, and HORECA markets
• Robust AISI 304 stainless‑steel construction
• Long service life under demanding operating conditions
• Optimized capital investment and low operating costs
The Mini Portion Thermoformer Filler combines compact design, hygienic operation, and reliable performance, providing a cost‑effective solution for high‑value single‑serve dairy packaging.
Main Features and Advantages
Compact 2200×1200mm design: Reduced footprint of 2200×1200 mm allowing machine installation in limited spaces without sacrificing production capacity, ideal for plants with floor space constraints or small packaging lines.
Continuous integrated FFS cycle: Form, fill and seal in a single continuous cycle from bottom reel, eliminating handling of pre-formed containers and optimizing the production flow of individual portions.
Ideal for mini and individual portions: Specifically designed to produce mini containers and individual portions of dairy products such as creams, fresh cheeses and yogurts, meeting demand from the food service and single-serve channel.
High throughput for small formats: The fast-cycle system guarantees high productivity even in small-size formats, maximizing units per hour and reducing the per-unit packaging cost.
