Proseal GT1 Tray Sealer

• Packaging ready meals and convenience foods in sealed trays.
• Sealing fresh produce, such as fruits and vegetables, to extend shelf life.
• Packaging meat, poultry, and fish products in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).
• Sealing bakery items and desserts in individual or multi-pack trays.
• Used in food manufacturing, catering, and retail packing operations.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 20 to 60 packs per minute, depending on tray size and film type.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required, often with a compressed air connection.

Tray materials

Proseal GT1 machines are typically capable of sealing various tray materials including CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium.

Film materials

Units of this type commonly work with a range of lidding films, including plain, printed, and barrier films suitable for MAP applications.

Footprint

The footprint for a compact tray sealer like the GT1 typically allows for integration into existing production lines without requiring extensive space.

Sealing technology

These machines typically utilise heat sealing technology, often with options for gas flushing for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).

• What kind of trays can a Proseal GT1 typically seal?

  A Proseal GT1 is typically designed to seal a variety of pre-formed trays made from materials such as CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium. Buyers should confirm specific tray compatibility with the seller.

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

• What maintenance is typically required for a Proseal GT1?

• Can the tooling be changed for different tray sizes?

• What is meant by 'Sold as seen'?

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.
