Knife, Contour, Tray Forming, 279mm

This contour tray-forming knife is designed for use in Multivac thermoforming packaging machines, including R-series thermoformers and T-series tray sealers equipped with contour-cut tooling. It is classified within the Knives replacement part family and is intended for integration into systems configured to produce formed tray packages with non-standard perimeter profiles.

The knife follows a non-straight cutting path that corresponds to the outline of a specific formed tray format, trimming excess packaging film along the tray perimeter after the forming process. This contour-cutting action produces clean, accurately defined edges that match the intended tray geometry, supporting consistent package presentation and dimensional accuracy across production runs.

This part is a replacement component in thermoforming and tray-sealing applications where contour-cut tooling is specified. Compatibility should be confirmed against the specific machine model and tray tooling configuration prior to installation.
