X-line thermoforming packaging machines

As the leading manufacturer of thermoforming packaging machines, MULTIVAC sets the benchmark. Our machine range is unique as regards size, output and functions.

With the X-line, the next generation of thermoforming packaging machines, MULTIVAC is supporting the digitalisation of packaging procedures and Industry 4.0/IoT solutions.

As a result of its seamless digitalisation, comprehensive sensor system and networking with the MULTIVAC Cloud, the X-line creates a new dimension, when it comes to packaging reliability, quality and performance.

Maximum pack security

Consistent quality

Highest output

Future-proofed

The X-line has a level of sensor control never achieved before, whereby the Multi Sensor Control captures all the relevant parts of the process. Using closed control circuits, the sensor system constantly captures a wide range of process values, such as for example for forming, evacuation and sealing. Even the forming and sealing dies are integrated into the sensor control via electronic sensor modules. All the process stages are coordinated to the optimum level, while product- and system-related discrepancies are automatically compensated where possible, and even faulty settings by operators are independently detected and displayed. Thanks to this, the X-line works constantly at the optimum operating point.

MULTIVAC Pack Pilot

MULTIVAC Pack Pilot enables the machine to be set up to the optimum level using machine control support. When new recipes are created, the machine parameterises itself to the optimum operating point, using the die set data and the features for pack, product and packaging material that have been selected. This means that the machine can be used even without special operator knowledge. Pack Pilot has access to comprehensive expert knowledge, which benefits from process data from over 1,000 new packaging solutions per year. The X-line produces packs with maximum packaging reliability, consistent quality and very high output without production loss during machine start-up. 

X-line HMI 3.0 user interface

The X-line is equipped with an innovative operating concept. The intuitive HMI 3 Multi-Touch user interface is high-resolution and is equivalent to the operating logic of today's mobile devices. It enables the operating processes to be controlled even more easily and reliably, and it can be individually set to the particular operator. This includes different access rights and operating languages. User login is contactless by means of RFID chip cards. All the relevant machine parameters are displayed on one screen page.

At Anuga FoodTec the X-line was given the Gold International FoodTec Award 2018.

Interview with Guido Spix, Director and CTO of MULTIVAC Sepp Haggenmüller SE & Co. KG

“The benefits are obvious: real-time tracking of orders, current data status, optimisation of throughput times and therefore adherence to delivery dates, as well of course as the opportunity to be able to react quickly to the needs of the market.”

“Under Smart services we collate all those service packages, which contribute to further optimising the packaging procedures at our customers and making them even more efficient.”
