MULTIVAC Group will demonstrate an AI-supported traysealer line at interpack 2026 (Hall 5, Stand A23), highlighting advancements in digitalisation, automation, and integrated line systems.
The solution is designed to improve production flexibility while increasing efficiency and transparency in food packaging operations.
AI-driven flexibility in packaging processes
The showcased TX traysealer line enables simultaneous packaging of different products from multiple infeed streams. AI-based product identification allows the system to distinguish between product types and adapt processing accordingly.
In the demonstrated setup, two parallel streams feed identical trays containing different poultry products. After sealing, an AI-supported labelling and inspection system identifies the contents of each tray and applies the appropriate label automatically.
This approach enables:
- Efficient utilisation of traysealer capacity
- Automated product differentiation within a single line
- Reduced need for manual sorting and handling
Integrated labelling and sorting system
The L 310 labelling and inspection system is integrated into the line, providing automated print-and-apply functionality. After labelling, trays are sorted and stacked according to product type using dedicated stacking units.
This integrated workflow ensures continuous processing and supports high-throughput packaging operations.
CloseCut technology for material efficiency
A key innovation in the traysealer is the CloseCut die, which improves sustainability by reducing packaging material usage. The system seals trays directly adjacent to each other, eliminating excess film between packs.
Benefits include:

A key innovation in the traysealer is the CloseCut die, which improves sustainability by reducing packaging material usage. The system seals trays directly adjacent to each other, eliminating excess film between packs.
Benefits include:
- Up to 30% reduction in film waste
- Lower material costs
- Improved format utilisation, potentially allowing additional trays per cycle
This contributes to more resource-efficient packaging processes.
Scalable and adaptable line concept
The AI-supported traysealer concept is scalable and can be extended to multiple infeed and output streams. This flexibility allows manufacturers to adapt production lines to varying product mixes and demand levels.
