SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 8, 2025 – SEALPAC has officially introduced its groundbreaking F-series thermoformer at IFFA 2025, positioning the new machine as a transformative innovation in industrial packaging. Purpose-built to redefine thermoforming standards, the F-series integrates intelligent automation, rapid format adaptability, and sustainability-focused engineering—making it a strategic asset for forward-looking food manufacturers and processors.
Rethinking Thermoforming for Modern Industry Needs
Designed entirely from the ground up, the SEALPAC F-series represents a radical departure from traditional thermoformer models. Leveraging decades of German engineering expertise, the F-series has been engineered for maximum operational flexibility, precision processing, and intuitive control.
A centerpiece of SEALPAC’s IFFA 2025 presence, the F6 thermoformer showcases the line’s intelligent automation capabilities—developed to meet rising demands for packaging efficiency, sustainability, and digital integration.
Self-Learning, Energy-Saving Technology
One of the most compelling features of the F-series is its smart, self-regulating functionality. Described as a “thermoformer that thinks for itself,” the machine employs SEALPAC’s proprietary iMode system to continuously analyze internal processes and automatically adjust performance.
Key intelligent features include:
- Automatic energy consumption regulation
- Predictive maintenance alerts
- Real-time optimization of production parameters
- Automated film alignment and chain tension correction
These systems help manufacturers significantly reduce manual intervention and downtime, ultimately boosting output and reliability.
Rapid Tool Change and High Uptime Efficiency
SEALPAC has also placed a strong emphasis on agility. The F-series’ servo-controlled film transport and lifting systems ensure consistent, high-quality packaging, while its revolutionary tool change mechanisms allow for exceptionally fast transitions between formats or materials.
Additional operational benefits include:
- Low-maintenance, durable construction
- Enhanced hygiene and service accessibility
- Smart sealing, forming, and cutting stations for superior control
By cutting downtime and simplifying maintenance, the F-series offers manufacturers improved total equipment effectiveness (OEE) and stronger return on investment.
Sustainability and Industry 4.0 Integration
In line with global sustainability trends, the F-series has been optimized for energy efficiency. Advanced heat recovery systems and fine-tuned thermal processes reduce energy consumption without compromising performance. Its Industry 4.0-ready software and touch-screen interface allow seamless integration into digitalized production environments.
These features deliver:
- Energy cost reductions
- Enhanced traceability and control
- Simplified user operation through modern UI/UX
Adaptable to Future Packaging Demands
The F-series is designed to accommodate a wide range of recyclable and mono-material packaging formats, including SEALPAC’s EasyPeelPoint system. This user-friendly opening aid enhances consumer experience while aligning with market demands for sustainability and convenience.
According to Marcel Veenstra, Marketing & Communications Manager at SEALPAC, “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.”
Strategic Innovation with Long-Term Impact
With its full integration of smart technology, high-speed adaptability, and environmental responsibility, the SEALPAC F-series positions itself as a vital solution for manufacturers navigating the future of food packaging.
