Flexipak Rotary pot sealer

• Sealing pre-filled pots and containers in small to medium-scale food production.
• Packaging dairy products such as yoghurts and desserts.
• Sealing ready meals, sauces, and dips in individual portions.
• Used in bakeries for packaging individual puddings or savoury items.
• Suitable for contract packers handling various pot sizes.

Typical capacity

For this class of twin-station rotary sealer, throughput typically ranges from 10 to 30 pots per minute, depending on product and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase (1Ph) electrical supply, typically 230V, suitable for standard industrial outlets.

Construction material

Equipment for food processing, such as this unit, is typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Pot compatibility

Rotary pot sealers are designed to accommodate various pot shapes and sizes, often requiring change parts for different dimensions. This unit includes plates for 60mm diameter and 80mm square pots.

Sealing mechanism

These machines typically use heat sealing, with adjustable temperature controls to ensure a consistent and secure seal across different film types.

Operation method

Many rotary pot sealers feature semi-automatic operation, often initiated by a foot pedal, requiring manual pot loading and unloading.

Footprint

For a twin-station rotary unit, the footprint is typically compact, making it suitable for operations with limited floor space.

• What types of pots can this machine seal?

  This type of machine can seal a variety of pre-formed plastic or foil pots, provided the correct tooling (plates) is available for the specific pot dimensions and shape. This unit comes with tooling for 60mm diameter and 80mm square pots.

• Is it difficult to change between different pot sizes?

• What kind of film does it use for sealing?

• What maintenance is typically required for a machine like this?

• Can this machine be integrated into an automated line?

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.
