MPE I0 Inline Tray Sealer

• Packaging ready meals and prepared foods in a modified atmosphere.
• Sealing trays of fresh meat, poultry, and fish products.
• Packaging baked goods and confectionery for extended shelf life.
• Sealing fruit and vegetable portions in protective trays.
• Used in food processing plants, catering facilities, and large-scale kitchens.

Typical throughput

Up to 16 cycles per minute, commonly found on units of this type, depending on tray size and film.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for industrial use.

Air supply

Units of this class commonly require a compressed air supply for pneumatic functions, typically 6-8 bar.

MAP capability

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is standard for this unit, allowing for gas flushing and controlled atmosphere sealing.

Tray materials

Typically compatible with a range of pre-formed trays including CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium foil.

Film materials

Commonly uses various lidding films, including anti-fog, peelable, and barrier films, suitable for heat sealing.

Footprint

Inline tray sealers typically have a linear footprint, requiring adequate space for infeed, sealing, and outfeed conveyors.

• What is MAP and why is it important?

  MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) involves replacing the air inside the package with a specific gas mixture to extend shelf life and maintain product quality. It is crucial for perishable food items.

• Can this machine handle different tray sizes?

• What kind of maintenance does an inline tray sealer require?

• Is training usually required to operate this equipment?

• What safety features are commonly found on these machines?

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.
