Unknown - 2005 Reton Tray Sealer

• Packaging ready meals and prepared foods for retail.
• Sealing fresh produce, meats, and seafood in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).
• Securing bakery items and desserts in individual or multi-pack trays.
• Packaging non-food items requiring a hermetic seal, such as medical devices or components.

Typical capacity

For this class of used equipment, throughput can vary significantly, typically ranging from 6 to 20 cycles per minute depending on tray size and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

A compact semi-automatic tray sealer would typically require a floor space of around 1m x 1.5m, plus space for loading and unloading.

Tray materials

Typically compatible with a range of tray materials including PP, CPET, APET, and aluminium.

Film materials

Commonly uses various lidding films such as PET, PP, and barrier films suitable for MAP applications.

Gas mixing

Units with a gas mixer are designed for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), allowing for precise control of gas composition within the sealed tray.

• What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?

  MAP involves altering the atmosphere inside the package to extend the shelf life of perishable foods. This is achieved by flushing the package with a specific gas mixture before sealing.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used tray sealer?

• Can this machine handle different tray sizes?

• What are the common safety features on a tray sealer?

• Is training typically needed to operate a tray sealer with a gas mixer?

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.
