Thermoforming Machines
With 26 years of experience, Betapak delivers thermoforming machines that heat polymer film and vacuum-form it into precise packaging shapes — fully integrated with filling, sealing, and MAP technology for a complete production line from a single source.
Our machines are built for fresh meat, poultry and seafood, dairy products, ready meals, bakery and portion products, and water & juice lines, producing package formats such as MAP trays, vacuum-sealed trays, cups and IML-labelled containers — matched to the film, mold and capacity requirements of each production line.
Vacuum Thermoforming
Film pulled over molds by vacuum — ideal for complex, high-detail shapes.
Pressure Thermoforming
High-pressure air forming for larger, more durable packaging formats.
Mechanical Thermoforming
Mold and press-plate mechanics for high-speed mass production lines.
Fully Automatic
End-to-end automated thermoform packaging with minimal operator input.

Output capacity depends on tray/cup size, film and product — see each series page for verified capacity ranges, or request a configuration for your product.
Solution Scenarios
Fresh Meat & Poultry: Longer Shelf Life
Fresh meat and poultry spoil quickly and are highly sensitive to oxygen exposure. Betapak thermoforming lines apply Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to replace the package atmosphere with a protective gas mix, extending shelf life without preservatives while keeping color and freshness intact for retail display.
Recommended: Bpz Series
Dairy Products: Leak-Proof, Hygienic Sealing
Liquid and semi-liquid dairy products demand a fully leak-proof seal to prevent contamination and spoilage in transit. Our thermoform machines create a tight, uniform seal on every cycle, meeting hygiene standards for cheese, yogurt, and portioned dairy items.
Recommended: Bpt Series / Starter Series
Ready Meals: Multi-Compartment Trays
Prepared and portioned foods often need multiple ingredients kept separate until use. Betapak machines form multi-compartment trays in a single cycle, keeping sauces, sides, and mains apart while sealing everything securely for retail-ready presentation.
Recommended: Bph-S Lineer
Medical Devices: Sterile Barrier Packaging
Medical device packaging must maintain a validated sterile barrier from production through end use. Our machines are configured for cleanroom-compatible operation and precision sealing, ensuring consistent, sterile-safe packaging for medical and pharmaceutical products.
Recommended: Bpz 400 Medical
Bakery & Portion Products: High-Speed Small Formats
Small-format bakery and portion products require high cycle speeds without sacrificing pack quality. Betapak's fully automatic lines handle high-throughput, small-tray formats for pastries, snacks, and portioned goods with consistent seal quality at speed.
Recommended: Starter Series
Sustainable Packaging: Recycled & Biodegradable Films
Manufacturers under pressure to cut plastic waste need machines that keep seal integrity with alternative materials. Betapak thermoforming machines run recycled PET, bio-based, and compostable films without compromising package strength or shelf life.
Water & Juices: High-Speed Cup Filling
Water and juice lines need fast, hygienic cup or FFS filling with a reliable seal at continuous line speed. Betapak's Bpt Series forms, fills, and seals cups in a single automated cycle for beverage producers.

How to Choose the Right Machine
-
1
Product & tray dimensions
The size, shape and weight of your product determine the mold and forming area required.
-
2
Target output capacity
Current and planned production volume decides whether an entry-level or high-capacity series fits your line.
-
3
Film width and mold
Film reel width, thickness and cavity depth must match the final package format.
-
4
MAP or vacuum requirement
Shelf-life targets and product sensitivity define whether MAP, standard vacuum, or both are needed.
-
5
Filling and dosing needs
Liquid, solid or multi-compartment products may require an integrated filling system.
-
6
End-of-line integration
Labelling, cartoning and downstream handling equipment should be planned together with the thermoforming machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
A thermoforming machine heats a plastic film until pliable, then uses vacuum or
pressure to form it tightly over a mold. The shaped tray is filled with product,
sealed with a top film, and cut to size — all in a continuous, automated cycle.
Thermoforming machines are widely used in food (fresh meat, dairy, ready meals),
medical device packaging, and industrial component packaging. Betapak offers
thermoforming solutions tailored to each of these sectors.
Vacuum thermoforming removes air from the package before sealing, extending
shelf life for many products. MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) replaces the
internal atmosphere with a controlled gas mix (e.g., CO₂/N₂) — ideal
for fresh meat and produce, offering even longer shelf life without
preservatives.
Yes. Betapak thermoforming machines are compatible with a wide range of
sustainable film materials including recycled PET, bio-based films, and
compostable laminates — helping manufacturers meet environmental targets without
compromising seal integrity.
Key factors include your required output capacity, package format and tray
dimensions, product type (food, medical, industrial), and whether MAP or vacuum
application is needed. Betapak's engineering team provides a free consultation
to match the right machine to your requirements.
