Tray sealers for ready meal producer

Laila’s Fine Foods, a family run business, specialising in authentic, ready prepared meals, has purchased SL4 tray sealers from Packaging Automation’s (PA)’s eclipse range.

The eclipse SL4 has been designed to address the environmental impact of packaging operations by reducing the user’s power consumption by up to 90 per cent. The in line, fully electric SL4 is a small footprint machine capable of sealing 60 packs per minute.

Featuring PA’s Powerdrive technology, it is a fully electric machine and operates without using any compressed air, therefore offering savings of up to 98 per cent of the running costs of conventional pneumatically operated tray sealers.

Mark Richardson, general manager at Laila’s, comments, “As our business has increased, PA have been able to support our growth with new machines and unparalleled service levels, and we have just taken delivery of two new high speed sealing machines – taking us to five PA lines and in fact a complete PA site.”
