Rotopack SVM Tray sealer

• Packaging ready meals in various tray formats.
• Sealing fresh produce, such as fruits and vegetables, in modified atmosphere packaging.
• Securing baked goods and confectionery in protective trays.
• Portioning and sealing individual servings of dairy products or desserts.
• Packaging non-food items requiring a sealed tray, such as medical devices or small components.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of tabletop tray sealer typically ranges from 4 to 10 cycles per minute, depending on the operator and tray size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, 50Hz, as indicated for this unit.

Footprint

Tabletop tray sealers are designed for compact installation, typically requiring a bench space of approximately 500mm to 800mm in width and depth.

Tray material compatibility

These machines are generally compatible with a range of heat-sealable tray materials, including CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium foil trays.

Film material compatibility

Commonly used film materials include PET, PP, and laminated films suitable for heat sealing and, if applicable, modified atmosphere packaging.

Temperature control

Units typically feature adjustable temperature control, allowing for precise sealing across different film and tray material combinations.

Vacuum function

The integrated vacuum function, as described for this unit, allows for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to extend product shelf life.

• What tray sizes can this machine handle?

  This specific unit was previously used with a 420mm x 320mm tray. However, many tray sealers in this category can accommodate various tray sizes, often requiring interchangeable tooling or dies. Buyers should confirm the current tooling included and its suitability for their specific tray dimensions.

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

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

• What is the benefit of a stainless steel construction?

• Can this machine be integrated into an automated line?

Used sealing machines are valued for their durability and cost-effectiveness in food packaging operations. Buyers appreciate models that maintain consistent seal quality and require minimal maintenance. When purchasing secondhand units, inspectors typically recommend verifying seal temperature controls, checking heating elements for wear, and confirming spare parts availability. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward mechanical design, as these tend to be more reliable long-term and easier to service. Reputation depends largely on manufacturer and maintenance history rather than age alone.
