The production of plastic packaging for food – such as yogurt cups, margarine tubs, or transparent trays – requires an extremely fast and precise injection molding process. Cycle times are extremely short, wall thicknesses often minimal, and tolerances tight. At the same time, hygiene requirements are high: every part of the process must meet food safety standards.​

Successful production starts with a machine featuring very high injection speed, short cooling and filling times, and maximum dimensional stability. Even with wall thicknesses of just a few tenths of a millimeter, the end product must come out of the mold tight and deformation-free – in high quantities and without waste.​

Process repeatability is crucial. Lightweight designs leave little room for error: a fraction too much material or a deviation in cooling balance can already lead to defective or poorly stackable products. A clean working area and closed lubrication systems are essential to prevent contamination and ensure consistent quality.​

In short: thin-walled food packaging requires a machine that effortlessly combines hygiene, speed, and precision – for maximum output and product safety.​
