Do you need a machine to form your trays?
We are at a time of important changes in the sector, mainly due to the entry into force of the European regulation banning single-use plastics in the territory of the European Union, which will come into force in 2021.
Among other things, it includes the following activities:
- Discontinuation of the sale of single-use plastic packaging.
- Reducing the consumption of food containers and plastic cups.
- Introduction of fees for producers to cover part of the costs of waste management and clean-up.
In addition, there is a profound transformation in the way products of all kinds are consumed. There is a new type of consumer who is increasingly interested in a sustainable shopping experience, which is forcing manufacturers and producers to look for new solutions and applications to fulfil this demand. This offers a great opportunity for paper and cardboard, as it allows them to access new lines of business, which until recently were dominated by plastic or other materials, such as: fast food, takeaway food, packaging of meat products, confectionery or bakery, etc.
The MCT-1 models are specially designed for the forming of corrugated and compact cardboard trays, the MCT-1 are automatic and adjustable machines, with a double head, which allows them to be configured simultaneously to form 2 different sizes of trays, with a speed of up to 6.000 and 7.000 trays per hour.
Key benefits and features of the MCT-1 automatic tray former:
- A compact, easy-to-use and low-maintenance machine for forming sustainable cardboard trays.

- High output of up to 7,000 cartons/hour, with the possibility of speed selection by using a frequency changer with automatic speed control and automatic queue compensation.
