Tray sealer
Heat sealing specialist Proseal has introduced a new tray sealer, designed to handle large food trays.
The Proseal GT5exSD can seal trays up to 400mm wide, making it ideal for the handling of large cuts of meat and joints, for example. Top speeds for the single lane machine are up to 40 skin pack trays per minute.
It is fully flexible and adaptable to handle any type of packing operation, including MAP gas flushing, vacuum MAP sealing, skin packaging below and above the flange and skin deep.
Maximum throughput is achieved thank to Proseal’s Pro-Motion system, which enables 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. This typically increases speeds by up to 30%.
The company’s E-seal technology meanwhile provides high quality seal reliability to meet the stringent quality requirements of the food retail sector, while promising a 92% reduction in energy usage.
