This Multivac R240 is a used thermoforming machine — sometimes referred to as a form-fill-seal machine — manufactured in 2003 and currently located in Czechia. Thermoforming machines of this type are used in food packaging to heat a flat film, form it into trays or cavities, fill those cavities with product, and seal a top film over them to create finished, retail-ready packs. Multivac is a well-established German manufacturer widely recognised across the food processing and packaging industry for producing vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging equipment used by meat, dairy, seafood, and ready-meal producers worldwide.
This particular machine was used in production for packing salmon portions, giving prospective buyers a clear indication of the food-contact applications it has handled. It operates at approximately 6.5 cycles per minute and is capable of running both vacuum packaging and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). The seller confirms it was operated with a gas mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide at a 50/50 ratio, which is a common blend used to extend the shelf life of fresh fish and other protein products.
The machine accommodates two documented tray formats. The first format has an exterior dimension of 200 × 127.25 mm and an interior dimension of 188 × 115.25 mm. The second format has an exterior dimension of 200 × 101 mm and an interior dimension of 182 × 86 mm. Both formats share a forming depth range of 20 to 80 mm, offering flexibility for packaging products of varying height within those two footprints. The machine is offered in used condition at $19,500.
