• Packaging fresh meat, poultry, and fish products in a modified atmosphere.
• Sealing individual portions of desserts, salads, or snacks.
• Packaging baked goods or confectionery items for extended shelf life.
• Sealing non-food items in trays where a secure, tamper-evident seal is required.

Typical throughput

For manual or semi-automatic tray sealers of this class, throughput typically ranges from 4 to 15 cycles per minute, depending on operator efficiency and tray size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, suitable for most industrial and commercial settings in the UK.

Construction material

As indicated, stainless steel construction is standard for food processing equipment, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Temperature control

Adjustable temperature controls are typical, allowing for sealing of various film types and tray materials.

Tray material compatibility

This class of equipment is typically compatible with a range of tray materials including CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium, when paired with appropriate lidding film.

Mobility

The 'mobile' feature suggests it is equipped with castors, allowing for flexible placement within a production facility.

Tooling changeover

Tooling for different tray sizes is commonly interchangeable, allowing for versatility in product packaging.

• What types of film can this tray sealer use?

  Tray sealers of this type are typically compatible with a variety of lidding films, including plain, printed, anti-fog, and barrier films, depending on the specific application and tray material.

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

• How easy is it to change the tooling for different tray sizes?

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

• Can this machine handle both hot and cold food products?

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.
