Sealing type

This model is designed for heat sealing, often including options for gas flushing for MAP applications.

• What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?

  MAP involves altering the atmosphere inside the package to extend the shelf life of perishable food products. This is achieved by flushing the tray with a specific gas mixture before sealing.

• Can this machine handle different tray sizes?

• What kind of maintenance is required for a tray sealer?

• Is training typically needed to operate a Proseal GT1?

• What spare parts are commonly needed for this equipment?

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.
