Multivac Showcases Diversity of Packaging, Automation Capabilities


Kansas City, MO - Multivac is proud to take center stage as the all new Process Expo, the food processing industry's premiere trade exhibition, kicks off November 1 and runs through November 4 at Chicago's McCormick Place convention center. At booth # 4640, one of the largest exhibits at the show, Multivac will showcase a host of packaging and automation technologies.

Live demonstrations will include automated lines for ground meat and bacon processing and packaging, as well as an end-to-end automated tray sealer line featuring the North American debut of Multivac's high-output, twin-lane T850 tray sealer. Multivac will be demonstrating its revolutionary R595 thermoformer developed for high-speed packaging of retail bacon. In addition to the three live presentations, which will be conducted hourly throughout the show, Multivac will bring a number of other innovations to its exhibit for the benefit of attendees. These include:

  • The MVP 600 energy-efficient vacuum pump, designed exclusively for Multivac by Busch.

  • The compact R095 thermoformer, Multivac's smallest and most economical to date, and shown for the first time in North America.

  • The T100 and T300 tray sealer models, also shown for the first time.

    Other Multivac packaging systems as well as those for labeling and automation will be available for review and discussion with Multivac's team of experts. A variety of third-party components available for integration with complete Multivac lines will also be demonstrated.

    "The launch of the new Process Expo is a watershed event for the food processing industry," says Jan Erik Kuhlmann, president and CEO of Multivac, Inc. "Members and partners of the Food Processing Suppliers Association [FPSA] have worked tirelessly to make Process Expo the singular, must-attend event for food processors of every size from all over the world.
