As demand surges for grab-and-go greens, your line can’t stumble over inconsistent portions, wilted leaves, or inefficient manual labor. Lightweight, delicate, and often multi-ingredient salads require machinery that delivers clean filling, gentle handling, and airtight sealing without slowing throughput.
The Hefestus salad packaging machine is engineered to automate every step — forming, dosing, sealing, and optional MAP — so you can increase output, preserve freshness, and expand capacity without adding headcount.
Solution:
Our controlled dosing system handles leaf mixes, chopped vegetables, grains, proteins, and toppings without bruising or compacting the product. You get consistent portions and clean trays, even with lightweight ingredients that typically shift during filling.
Solution:
The Hefestus line consolidates forming, filling, sealing, and MAP into one continuous workflow. This eliminates stop-and-go inefficiencies and stabilizes daily throughput as you scale.
Solution:
Precise MAP capabilities protect greens from oxidation and moisture loss. The system forms a stable micro-environment that keeps vegetables crisp, proteins safe, and mixed salads visually appealing across their intended shelf life.
Solution:
Our platform supports cups, bowls, thermoformed trays, and shaped containers — with flexible, foil, paper, or pre-printed lids. Switch formats without reconfiguring your entire line.

Forming, filling, and sealing happen in one controlled sequence, reducing labor, improving sanitation, and delivering predictable output that supports long-term growth.
Short travel steps and synchronized tray movement improve portion accuracy. The system maintains stable spacing and reduces cycle time without increasing your footprint.
Leafy mixes shift easily, proteins settle, and toppings bounce — but the dosing system manages all of it with accuracy. It protects texture, avoids crushing, and keeps the final mix visually intact.
Whether you package single-serve bowls, family-size trays, or custom-shaped portions, sealing options include rollstock, pre-cut lids, MAP, and shaped cutting for branded retail displays.
Run 100–300 units/min depending on model. High throughput doesn’t compromise product appearance, freshness, or sealing integrity.
Supports rigid, semi-rigid, paper, foil, printed films, and shaped retail-ready formats. Your marketing team gets full creative freedom without complicating operations.
Your growth depends on eliminating labor bottlenecks and protecting product quality at scale. The Hefestus salad packaging machine gives you the consistency, speed, and shelf-life control needed to compete in a category where freshness determines loyalty.

By using controlled, low-shear dosing that gently portions leafy mixes without compressing them.
Yes — when dialed correctly, MAP slows oxidation and moisture loss, maintaining crispness longer.
Absolutely. The dosing system supports multi-ingredient layering without disturbing structure.
Typically minutes, not hours, thanks to modular tooling and minimal reconfiguration steps.
Yes — it supports paper-based films, recyclable plastics, and eco-focused material options.
