I need to produce single or dual-compartment food boxes – which machine offers flexibility? 

For businesses needing flexibility, the ZF-B model stands out. It effortlessly switches between single and dual-compartment production, accommodating everything from simple noodle boxes to divided meal containers with separate rice and entree sections. 

Its 600×550mm maximum size handles most standard takeout portions while maintaining an efficient 30-50 cycles per minute speed.

I need higher efficiency to produce single-compartment lunch boxes. Is there an upgraded version of the machine?

The ZF-T2's dual-channel system revolutionizes single-compartment production. By simultaneously forming two boxes instead of one, this advanced version of the ZF-B boosts output by 30%, producing 40-50 boxes per minute. Food vendors experiencing growing demand will appreciate how this machine maintains quality while dramatically increasing capacity without requiring additional floor space.
