EF-SERIES - FORM, FILL AND SEAL MACHINES FOR CUPS The FFS technology is a combination of several processes: cups are thermoformed from plastic sheet, filled with product, hermetically sealed with a film or foil and cut into singles or multi-packs – all on the same machine. FFS has three principal economic and environmental assets: reduction in the use of plastic by having wraparound paper labelling, high levels of hygiene and minimum working space for a compact machine. The combination of several functions on one machine provides the opportunity to have unique container shapes and product formats...
