This CFS GEA Koppens VM Thermoforming Machine is a used thermoforming machine — sometimes referred to as a food forming machine — designed to shape food products into a wide variety of formats. Thermoforming machines of this type are a core piece of equipment in high-volume food production lines, pressing portioned product from a hopper into shaped moulds and depositing the formed pieces onto a conveyor. CFS, which operated as part of the GEA Group, is a well-known manufacturer of food processing and packaging machinery, supplying equipment to the meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, and convenience food industries worldwide.
This particular machine is a 600 mm inline multiforner built to handle both round and rectangular product shapes, making it suitable for a broad range of applications including burgers, patties, and formed portions across the bakery, butchery, convenience food, snack, salad, cheese, vegetable, fruit, cooked meats, fish, vegan, vegetarian, baby food, and pet food sectors. Feed into the mould is carried out by four screws drawing product from a large infeed hopper with a capacity of 320 litres. Once the mould is filled, it is indexed over the conveyor belt and a pneumatic ejector pushes the formed product cleanly onto the belt.
The machine delivers a production output of up to 50 strokes per minute, with belt speed continuously variable to suit different production requirements. The usable mould surface measures 570 × 130 mm, and the machine accommodates product thicknesses between 6 and 40 mm, giving considerable flexibility in portion size and shape. The working width is 600 mm.
Electrically, the machine runs on 400 V (3+N, 50 Hz) three-phase power with a connected load of 22.18 kW. Compressed air is required at 6 bar and water connection at 1–4 bar. The entire machine is constructed in stainless steel throughout, supporting washdown hygiene standards typical of food production environments. Overall dimensions are 3,250 × 1,300 × 2,510 mm (L × W × H) and the machine weighs 1,750 kg. It is located in the Netherlands and is offered in used condition.
