Table Top Tray Sealing Machine

• Small to medium-scale food packaging operations requiring modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).
• Delicatessens, butchers, and catering businesses for sealing prepared meals and fresh produce.
• Food research and development kitchens for product testing and sample packaging.
• Speciality food producers for artisan products requiring an extended shelf life.
• Cafes and convenience stores for grab-and-go meal solutions.

Typical throughput

For this class of table-top machine, throughput commonly ranges from 6 to 12 cycles per minute, depending on tray size and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard single-phase 230V UK mains supply.

Film roll width

Tray sealers commonly accommodate film roll widths up to 300mm, with specific models varying.

Gas flush capability

Many table-top tray sealers offer gas flush for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), extending product shelf life.

Mould sets

Machines typically come with one or more mould sets, with additional sets often available for different tray sizes.

Footprint

Table-top units are designed for compact spaces, typically requiring a bench area of around 500mm x 600mm.

• What types of trays can this machine seal?

  This type of machine is generally designed to seal pre-formed trays made from materials such as CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium, provided they are compatible with heat sealing.

• Is gas flushing essential for all products?

• How difficult is it to change mould sets?

• What kind of film is required?

• What maintenance is typically involved?

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.
