Packaging Automation - PA 182 InlineTray Sealer

• Packaging ready meals and convenience foods in a modified atmosphere.
• Sealing fresh meat, poultry, and fish products in retail trays.
• Packaging baked goods and desserts to extend shelf life.
• Sealing fruit and vegetable portions for supermarket display.
• Used in food processing plants, catering facilities, and large-scale kitchens.

Typical capacity

For this class of inline tray sealer, throughput can typically range from 20 to 60 packs per minute, depending on tray size and sealing cycle.

Power supply

Commonly, units of this type require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements.

Gas facility

The integrated gas facility indicates suitability for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), requiring an external supply of food-grade gases (e.g., N2, CO2, O2 mixtures).

Construction material

Stainless steel construction is standard for food processing equipment, ensuring hygiene, durability, and ease of cleaning.

Tray material compatibility

Typically compatible with various tray materials including CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium, provided they are suitable for heat sealing.

Film compatibility

Designed to work with a range of lidding films, including barrier films for MAP applications, often supplied on a roll.

Footprint

Inline tray sealers generally require a significant operational footprint, typically several metres in length, to accommodate infeed, sealing, and outfeed sections.

• What does 'inline' mean for a tray sealer?

  An 'inline' tray sealer integrates directly into a production line, with trays automatically fed into the machine, sealed, and then discharged. This contrasts with semi-automatic or manual machines.

• What is the purpose of the 'gas facility'?

• Are 'various mould sets available' included with the machine?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for this type of machine?

• Can this machine handle different tray sizes?

• What safety features are commonly found on these units?

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.
