- Typical capacity
- For this class of semi-automatic equipment, throughput typically ranges from 4-8 cycles per minute, depending on tray size and operator efficiency.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly operate on a single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply, with power consumption typically between 1.5kW and 3kW.
- Tray materials
- This equipment is typically compatible with a wide range of pre-formed trays, including PP, APET, CPET, and aluminium, provided they are suitable for heat sealing.
- Film materials
- Commonly uses roll-fed lidding films such as PET/PE, OPA/PE, and barrier films, which are heat-sealable and appropriate for the product.
- Footprint
- Semi-automatic tray sealers typically have a compact footprint, often around 600mm to 800mm in width and depth, making them suitable for smaller production areas.
- Maintenance requirements
- Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning sealing plates, checking film tension, and inspecting wear parts such as seals and cutting blades.
