What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?

MAP is a packaging method where the air inside the package is replaced with a specific gas mixture to extend the shelf life of perishable food products by slowing down spoilage.

Can this machine handle different tray sizes?

Yes, this model typically features an easy size change mechanism, allowing for quick adaptation to various tray dimensions through the use of different die sets.

What is 'Skin Packaging Configuration'?

Skin packaging is a type of MAP where a heated film is draped over the product and tray, conforming tightly to the product's shape, creating a 'second skin' effect for enhanced presentation and protection.

Is specialist training required to operate this equipment?

While user-friendly, basic operational training is recommended to ensure safe and efficient use, particularly for optimising MAP settings and die set changes.

What are the benefits of an automatic inline tray sealer over a manual one?

Automatic inline sealers offer higher throughput, greater consistency in sealing quality, reduced labour costs, and better integration into automated production lines compared to manual alternatives.
