Clamshell Packaging
Precision PMD Clamshell Packaging Systems
Precision PMD’s Clamshell Packaging Systems deliver efficient automation for food packaging lines using clamshell containers. These custom-built systems handle wet, dry and frozen products seamlessly. The process begins with the VH Series Denester, which separates stacked clamshells and places them securely into carriers. The clamshells then index along the line for precise filling, followed by automated closing for a tight seal. This includes tamper-proof options, film sealing, and die-cut features under the lid. Our systems provide reliable control, versatility, and hygiene to maintain high quality and consistency in production.
