What Is a Tray Forming Machine?

A tray forming machine is a type of packaging equipment specifically designed for the mass production of trays. These machines are commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and logistics, where the need for efficiently forming trays is essential.

Tray forming equipment significantly increases production efficiency by automating what would otherwise be a labor-intensive and time-consuming manual process. They’re equipped with various components that fold, crease, and secure the material to form a tray of the desired shape and size.

Wayne tray formers make the job safe and efficient while delivering incredible quality. There’s a reason we’re told time and time again that workers love our machines. Read below to learn more about our industry-leading packaging systems.

Tray Forming Machine Benefits

Flexibility

Wayne corrugated tray formers deliver powerful solutions for manufacturers looking to enhance their end-of-line processes. The TR-50 Trayformer is capable of assembling over 15 unique tray styles at up to 55 trays per minute. This allows you to choose the best packaging for your process every time, making the model an ideal choice for performance-minded packers large and small.

Alternatively, Wayne’s WR-25TR Tray Former is a model optimized for flexibility and size efficiency. A modular system allows manufacturers to incorporate a tray-packing module into a smaller footprint, all while handling both glue and fold-over interlocking (FOIL) trays. Assembling up to 25 trays per minute, this model is the ideal choice for small operations looking to enhance their process with limited space.

For manufacturers needing to pack their products in less conventional sizes and shapes, Wayne has machinery to fit their applications as well. The CPT-25 Corner Post Trayformer provides precision folding and handling for display trays, with custom mandrels for different post types depending on your needs. Wayne’s JTF-10 Trayformer incorporates a pallet handling system into the design, accommodating the requirements of extra-large trays.

Whatever your application, Wayne Automation has an automatic tray forming equipment that exceeds expectations.

Efficiency

Wayne’s tray forming machines are not only versatile, but also highly efficient. Even complex, unusual tray shapes can be produced at speeds of 50 trays per minute. The ability to handle bulk units of unfolded trays also means minimal storage is needed. As a result, companies experience increased throughput, and a better environment for operators. Our machines even offer tool-free rapid changeover, simplifying the process and saving companies valuable time and resources.

Reliability and Safety

Wayne customers know that when they buy one of our machines, they are making a long-term investment in their process and efficiency. Our tray former machines are safe, reliable, and durable. Each one includes Lexan® Safety Doors with Allen Bradley Anti-Intrusion Switches to ensure operator safety. Additionally, our machinery is designed to work even in harsh conditions, allowing companies to extend equipment life and reduce maintenance, keeping their process throughput high.
