GT1V tray sealer for full vacuum trays

Proseal has extended its range of tray sealers with the GT1V, a high-speed model offering a full vacuum system.

While all existing Proseal models are capable of delivering gas flushing for MAP applications, the GT1V has been specifically developed for products such as meat and poultry where residual gas levels need to be less than 1%. At the same time, the machine retains the high-speed capabilities of the GT range, delivering a typical running speed of 8 cycles/min although this can be as high as 11 cycles/min for certain applications.

Designed to accept randomly spaced trays from any conveyor and capable of being fully and easily integrated with other line equipment, the GT1V offers ease of operation, fast changeovers, easy access and reliability.

User-friendly benefits include completely lead-less and hose-less connection of both gas and electrical supply, thanks to the GT1V’s auto connect tool docking facility, which means tool changes can be carried out in a matter of minutes. The machine also offers maximum flexibility with the option to run multiple depth trays on a single tool set.

Further machine enhancements include tool diagnostics such as a leak test routine and cycle-time analysis, which can be accessed via the advanced touch screen. This provides full graphical operator interface and allows complete machine and tooling set-up to be fully ‘recipe’ controlled, with all settings easily stored for fast retrieval. The GT1V also offers an electronic gas mixer integration option where preset gas mixtures can be included as part of the recipe selection.

Proseal vacuum machinery can also handle vacuum skin packaging applications which are growing in popularity for fish and meat.

Proseal has also extended its vacuum range by introducing the GT2V. The GT2V model has all the same features as the GT1V and has increased capacity, sealing up to 60 packs/min with vacuum gas flush.
