MULTIVAC: The DNA of Better Packaging and Processing
 
MULTIVAC is one of the leading providers worldwide of packaging solutions for food products of all types, life science and healthcare products as well as industrial items. The MULTIVAC portfolio covers virtually all manufacturers' requirements in terms of pack design, output and resource efficiency. It includes a variety of packaging technologies as well as automation solutions, labelers and quality control systems. The product range is rounded off with the upstream packaging procedure solutions in the portioning, slicing and processing areas. Thanks to comprehensive line capability, all modules can be integrated into complete solutions. Thus, MULTIVAC solutions ensure a high degree of operational and process reliability as well as high efficiency.

Sustainability – ecological and economic
The respectful handling of natural resources is fundamental to MULTIVAC, and it is an important criterion in the development of our packaging solutions. The use of innovative technologies leads to a reduced consumption of packaging materials, energy and cooling water. Our technologies also contribute to raising the output capability of packaging machines and increasing machine availability. In order to optimize the lifecycle performance of the installed machinery, MULTIVAC offers a comprehensive conversion and retrofitting service, which enables the machines to be suitable for changing requirements of the future. This includes changes in pack shapes and materials, for example.

The MULTIVAC Group has approximately 5,200 employees worldwide, with some 1,900 based at its headquarters in Wolfertschwenden. With over 80 subsidiaries, the Group is represented on all continents. More than 1,000 sales advisors and service technicians throughout the world use their know-how and experience to the benefit of customers, and they ensure that all installed MULTIVAC machines are utilised to their maximum. 

MULTIVAC is redefining thermoforming packaging with its X-line. It sets a new benchmark in the market thanks to a whole series of innovative and unique technology features. As a result of its seamless digitalisation, comprehensive sensor system and networking with the MULTIVAC Cloud, the X-line creates a new dimension, when it comes to packaging reliability, quality, performance and future-proofness.
 
MULTIVAC Pack Pilot enables the machine to be set up to the optimum level using machine control support. When new recipes are created, the machine parameterises itself to the optimum operating point. The X-line produces packs with maximum packaging reliability, consistent quality and very high output without production loss during machine start-up. 

The X-line has a level of sensor control never achieved before, whereby the Multi Sensor Control captures all the relevant parts of the process. Using closed control circuits, the sensor system constantly captures a wide range of process values, such as for example for forming, evacuation and sealing. Thanks to Multi Sensor Control, the X-line works constantly at the optimum operating point.

The intuitive HMI 3 Multi-Touch user interface is high-resolution and is equivalent to the operating logic of today's mobile devices. It enables the operating processes to be controlled even more easily and reliably, and it can be individually set to the particular operator. 

A new die generation called X-tools guarantees the lowest operating costs in the market. The X-tools have an extensive range of innovations in their design, sensor system and actuating features. They enable shorter evacuation times to be achieved and therefore contribute to higher cycle outputs. All the die elements are coded and are automatically identified. When a die is correctly installed, the machine parameterises itself automatically, which means that operating reliability is increased, particularly for machines with frequent format changes.
