Ossid began in the 1970s repairing overwrap machines and evolved into a leading tray overwrap manufacturer by the 1990s. Our 500E NCL overwrap machine gained popularity in the poultry industry by offering retailers a leak-resistant package. We expanded to include weigh price labeling equipment and custom thermoforming machines for the medical industry.

As packaging trends shifted towards sustainability, we partnered with Reepack, an Italian food packaging equipment manufacturer. This collaboration has allowed us to offer tray sealers, standard thermoformers, vacuum chamber machines, and flow wrapping equipment. Today, Ossid provides comprehensive packaging solutions for food and medical devices, as well as weigh price labeling machines and case scales. We are based in North Carolina and offer parts, installation, training, and service to our customers. If you have any questions, please visit our showroom on the Pack Expo Connects website.

Hello, my name is Chad Deaton, Product Line Manager at Ossid. Today, I’ll present our standard E40 thermoforming machine. The E40 comes in 320, 360, and 420 web widths with cutoffs of 200 to 300 millimeters, maintaining standard range for cost efficiency. It features an intuitive, icon-based HMI supporting over 20 languages, making it user-friendly globally. The Siemens PLC controls the system, complemented by Mitsubishi VFD drives, and it handles flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid films.

The E40 includes a heat and form section where film is heated and molded using air and vacuum. It has a four-post design with electric motors and encoder feedback for efficient operation. Tool changes are simple, using a magnetic tool to adjust die depths easily. The loading zones vary by index, accommodating up to four positions.

This machine can run various packaging types, including VSP, MAP, and Pro Skin. We showcased chicken wings and thighs packaged using different tray depths. The VSP setup ensures tight seals around products. The crosscut and score cut knives facilitate easy blade changes and efficient scrap management.

The ReeForm E40 demonstrates versatility in packaging applications.
