Ilpra - Semi Automatic Tray Sealer FP Rotobasic

• Packaging ready meals and prepared foods in sealed trays for retail or catering.
• Sealing fresh produce, meats, and seafood in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to extend shelf life.
• Portion control packaging for desserts, snacks, and individual meal components.
• Packaging non-food items that require a secure, tamper-evident seal in trays.

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.

• What kind of trays can this machine seal?

  This type of machine typically seals pre-formed trays made from various materials like PP, APET, and CPET. Compatibility depends on the specific tray and film used.

• Is it possible to change the tray format?

• Does this unit support Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?

• What is the typical lifespan of the sealing elements?

• What safety features are typically included?

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.
