With our new FLEXsystems we have developed a very flexible modular-based system for thermoforming which consists of our FLEX products:

FLEXPACKING TABLE

The FLEX packing table transfers the stacked products from the out conveyor of the thermoforming machine and down to packaging level, which eliminates the need of a packing platform.

The height of the packing conveyor can be adjusted to fit the height of the operator, in order to secure ergonomically correct working conditions.
