90 packs/min tray sealer

The Proseal GT2 tray sealer is capable of sealing over 90 packs/min and is also totally portable to provide a highly flexible tray-sealing solution for the meat industry.

The GT2 was developed following feedback from users on the latest requirements for heat-sealing equipment. A major priority remains the need to maximise throughput but this has to be balanced with shorter production runs to accommodate the differing requirements of end customers.

Speeds for the new tray sealer have been maximised thanks to features such as servo-controlled pack transfer, which creates a smooth movement for trays throughout the sealing process, and self-centring pack guides, which ensure trays are accurately positioned for sealing.

Other useful features to help maintain consistent operation include automatic film snap and film end detection.

The tray sealer incorporates a user-friendly, menu-driven control panel for ease of set-up and operation, which can be remotely accessed and controlled. The screen also provides detailed production data, production monitoring and full diagnostics.

For meat applications in particular, the GT2 is available with high-speed gas flushing, with reduced cycle time to maximise throughput. The machine can also be specified with high oxygen gas flushing for red meat.

The design of the GT2 is based on Proseal’s successful and proven criteria including the use of the company’s lightweight and high-strength ‘Auto Tool’ connection system that enables tool changes to be carried out in around three minutes.

Downtime is also minimised by the use of quick-change conveyor belts, and an auto-lock film reel holder. The machine’s practical design is enhanced by situating the electrical controls above the sealing area, and this also allows safe access for cleaning.

Full double-sided operation is provided by a swing arm control interface for enhanced accessibility. A rugged construction (manufactured to food industry-approved hygiene standards with full wash-down protection) ensures long-term reliability.
