Adaptable tray sealing

pro2013.016 GT5Heat sealing company Proseal is launching its latest innovation in tray sealing.  The new fully flexible Proseal GT5 incorporates a number of technical developments and enhancements to deliver a machine that, in twin configuration, is capable of achieving in excess of 200 trays per minute across all pack formats.

In particular, the machine has been developed to be completely adaptable in order to handle any type of packing operation including atmospheric sealing, MAP gas flushing, Vacuum MAP sealing, skin packaging below and above the flange, and Skin Deep, which allows a 100mm protrusion of product over the top of the tray.  Customers can simply select the format types they require and these can be added to or taken off at any time.  This allows food manufacturers to change their pack formats in line with customer demands without having to invest in new equipment.

The GT5 features new Proseal technologies Pro-Motion, which speeds up the infeed of trays to the sealer, and Pro-Tect, an advanced user login security system.  The machine has been designed to maximise floor space, enabling it to achieve the highest output from the smallest footprint.

Pro-Motion uses following motion and intelligent buffering technology to enable trays to feed continuously into the sealer without stopping.  An auto-detect product flow monitoring system regulates the speed of the infeed conveyor according the amount of trays being supplied.

An enhanced servo film feed and rewind system reduces machine duty by around 75%.  Further energy efficiencies are achieved using Proseal’s recently launched E-seal® technology which delivers a high-precision seal with an extremely strong sealing force, ensuring every seal offers the tightness and reliability to meet the stringent quality requirements of the food retail sector.
