Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of semi-automatic rotary sealer, throughput typically ranges from 6 to 15 cycles per minute, depending on operator efficiency and tray size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply, often with a power consumption of 2-4 kW during operation.

Footprint

The operational footprint for a rotary tray sealer is typically compact, allowing for integration into various production environments. Buyers should consider the listed shipping dimensions (1700mm x 1000mm x 1250mm) as a guide for space requirements.

Tray materials

This equipment typically handles a range of pre-formed tray materials, including APET, CPET, PP, and aluminium, provided they are compatible with heat sealing.

Film materials

Compatible film materials commonly include PET, PP, and laminated films designed for heat sealing and, if applicable, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).

Sealing type

Rotary tray sealers typically employ heat sealing, often with options for vacuum and gas flushing for MAP applications.
