The SEALPAC F-series is the result of decades of research, development, and refinement by German packaging specialists. This thermoformer series was created from the ground up and represents exceptional processing, maximum flexibility, and user-friendly operation. At IFFA 2025, a SEALPAC F6 thermoformer has been displayed for the first time to the knowledgeable audience, representing the entire series.
Thermoformers that think for themselves
The new F-series is based on an intelligent concept that goes far beyond conventional market standards. The machines were developed as self-thinking thermoformers that continuously analyse their own processes. They automatically regulate energy consumption, detect maintenance needs, and optimize their performance algorithmically via the iMode system. Functions such as automatic film alignment and automatic chain tension correction ensure maximum process reliability and minimize the need for manual intervention.
Revolutionary design, easy tool change
The forming, sealing, and cutting stations of the F-series thermoformer are equipped with smart features that not only ensure reliable processes, but also enable extremely fast format changes. The servo-controlled film transport and lifting systems guarantee high-quality packaging results. Innovative tool change systems minimize downtime and significantly simplify the transition to new formats or materials. In terms of hygiene and accessibility for maintenance and service, the design of the F-series also meets the high standards that users recognize from SEALPAC’s traysealers. Overall, the new F-series thermoformers are characterized by their low-maintenance design and exceptional durability.
Energy efficient and ease to use
When designing the F-series, energy efficiency was a top priority. Now, intelligent heat recovery and optimized heating and cooling processes significantly reduce energy consumption, without compromising on quality or output. Combined with precise process monitoring, each thermoformer enables predictive maintenance and minimizes unplanned downtime. Ease of use has also been redefined: a modern touch-screen interface, combined with Industry 4.0-capable control software, enables accurate and simple machine operation. Furthermore, the F-series thermoformers can be easily integrated into digitalized production environments via standardized interfaces. This allows for maximum control and traceability.
Flexible selection of packaging solutions
The F-series thermoformer is designed to handle modern, recyclable, mono-materials without issues. This also includes contemporary opening aids, such as the innovative EasyPeelPoint system. With this SEALPAC solution, the top film is pressed into a round cavity and thus released from the sealing edge. As counterforce can be dosed accurately, the peel function is activated to perfection. The system convinces due to its self-explanatory function with natural feel: the peel corner can easily be gripped, after which the top film is removed from the pack with minimum effort. Moreover, the system is less subjective to cold sealing, which regularly occurs in the cutting area.
Thermoforming taken seriously
With its combination of smart technology, flexible use, energy efficiency, and intuitive operation, the new F-series is a true game changer for anyone who wants to combine sophisticated packaging with high standards. “Our customers not only expect an outstanding packaging experience, but also maximum efficiency and reliability. With this completely redesigned thermoformer, we deliberately avoided evolutionary compromises and rethought every aspect. The result is a machine that impresses across the board in terms of performance, intelligence, and futureproofing,” emphasizes Marcel Veenstra, Marketing & Communications Manager at SEALPAC.
