Thermoforming Trays, Lids & Clamshells on One Multi-Station Line

From fruit trays and bakery lids to takeaway clamshells, thermoformed food packaging demands three things: precise dimensions, clean edges and high output. Multi-station thermoforming answers all three.

The LX 3in1/4in1 multi-station machine performs forming, punching, cutting and stacking in separate stations — with 7 stacking modes and a 3-axis robot stacker as standard. Trim-in-place with steel-rule knife is available for identical trimming, and floating knife technology handles post-trim cutting for complex profiles.

What sets this machine apart is flexibility. The same platform handles trays, lids, containers and clamshells in PP, PS and PET sheet from 0.2 to 1.5 mm. Steel-rule tooling is ready in just 1-2 days, minimizing the cost and lead time of product changes. With the optional heating isolation, operators can save up to 20% on heating energy.

Whether you run a packaging plant serving food brands, or you are entering thermoforming for the first time, LX Plastic Machinery configures the line around your products — from single machines to fully automated in-line systems with grinding and packing.
