Packaging Automation PA2016 Rotary tray sealer

• Sealing pre-filled trays of ready meals, fresh produce, and baked goods.
• Packaging individual portions of desserts, sauces, and deli items.
• Creating modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for extended product shelf life.
• Sealing trays for catering, food service, and retail display.

Typical capacity

For this class of rotary tray sealer, throughput commonly ranges from 15 to 40 packs per minute, depending on tray size and sealing cycle.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a power rating that varies by model but is generally in the 3-8 kW range.

Tray materials

This equipment is commonly designed to seal a variety of tray materials, including CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium foil, with suitable lidding film.

Footprint

A rotary tray sealer like the PA2016 typically has a compact footprint, often around 1.5m x 1.5m, making it suitable for various production environments.

Sealing technology

These machines commonly utilise heat sealing technology, often with options for gas flushing to create Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).

Tooling

The machine will require specific tooling (seal plates and cutting dies) to match the dimensions and shape of the trays being sealed. Multiple tooling sets are often available or can be custom-made.

• What is a rotary tray sealer?

  A rotary tray sealer is a packaging machine that uses a rotating table to move pre-filled trays through different stations for film application, sealing, and cutting. This design allows for continuous operation and efficient sealing.

• Can this machine handle different tray sizes?

• Is this machine suitable for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used unit?

• What kind of film does this machine use?

Used sealing machines are generally valued for their durability and long operational life. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and minimal wear on sealing components. Key considerations include film compatibility, seal quality consistency, and ease of adjustment. Reputable models tend to retain functionality well across multiple applications. Industry sentiment suggests these machines offer strong value when sourced from reliable vendors, though operators should verify calibration settings and test seal integrity before full production use.
