Sealpac A6 Tray Sealer

• Packaging of fresh meat, poultry, and seafood in modified atmosphere (MAP) or vacuum skin packaging (VSP).
• Sealing ready meals, salads, and convenience foods in pre-formed trays.
• Packaging of baked goods, confectionery, and snacks to extend shelf life.
• Sealing dairy products such as cheeses and yoghurts in individual portions.
• Suitable for various food service and retail packaging operations requiring high integrity seals.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 120 packs per minute, depending on tray size, film type, and product.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption that varies based on heating elements and vacuum pump size.

Footprint

A Sealpac A6, being an automatic tray sealer, typically has a significant footprint, often around 3000mm to 4000mm in length, requiring ample floor space for operation and maintenance.

Tray materials

This equipment is typically compatible with a wide range of pre-formed tray materials, including PP, PET, CPET, aluminium, and pulp-based trays.

Film types

Commonly processes various lidding films, including barrier films for MAP/VSP, peelable films, and anti-fog films, suitable for heat sealing.

Vacuum system

Units often integrate a high-capacity Busch vacuum pump, as mentioned, for efficient modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) or vacuum skin packaging (VSP).

Tooling

Typically features quick-change tooling systems, allowing for efficient switching between different tray formats and sizes, as indicated by the inclusion of multiple mould sets.
