Rapid availability

The packaging industry is developing at tremendous rate. New customer requirements, ever stricter regulations and innovative technologies require flexible and reliable solutions.In particular the most recent disruptions to global supply chains have highlighted the importance of operating independently. The availability of machines and spare parts is the decisive factor for successful production today. Kiefel's standard version of the NATUREFORMER KFT 90.1 thermoforming machine offers a solution that eliminates availability problems and guarantees production security.

Optimized supply chains and efficient production processes mean that customers receive their NATUREFORMER KFT 90.1 from Kiefel within just two months of ordering. A key factor for this speed is our synchronized series assembly. The assembly personnel receive all necessary materials directly at the final assembly site, eliminating time wasted searching and unnecessary journeys. Synchronized material provision and a detailed schedule ensure a smooth process.

Another accelerator: The standardized commissioning process starts during manufacture. Precise checklists, ensure that all inspection points are processed efficiently. In addition, Kiefel minimizes interfaces throughout the entire manufacturing process to ensure the fastest machine delivery.

The NATUREFORMER KFT 90.1 offers more than just extraordinary production speed. Its superior flexibility is particularly impressive. Product heights of up to 120 mm and a forming area of ​​900 × 700 mm make it ideal for a wide range of packaging solutions. The ergonomic tool change takes less than two hours and enables quick switching to new products. The KFT 90.1's flexible machine setup can be adapted to new developments and expanded modularly as required – with or without a punching facility. These properties make them suitable for both large and small-scale production and help to minimize inventory costs.

The NATUREFORMER KFT 90.1 is sustainable in its operation as well as in its material consumption. The machine requires 20% less material than competing systems. It also enables local sourcing, shortening supply chains and reducing carbon footprints. In addition, 30% higher output is possible – without compromising on quality or sustainability.

Kiefel works closely with leading quality suppliers to enable processing of a wide range of fiber materials. These include pulp (bleached and unbleached), CTMP, waste paper (PIW) and annual plants such as Silphium, reeds from the Danube basin and Miscanthus. These materials come from established sources worldwide, including Sweden, Finland, France, Portugal, Austria, and Germany. This diversity provides flexibility in the choice of sustainable raw materials, depending on local production environments.

Kiefel manufactures machines worldwide, with a clear strategy: We bring our market-leading manufacturing standards directly to our customers to ensure efficiency, quality, and innovation in every market. We are leveraging our years of expertise to rethink production.
