Automatic inline tray sealer for food packaging

Streamline your packaging process with high-speed, reliable tray sealing that adapts to evolving packaging trends, ensuring product freshness and extending shelf life. Optimize efficiency by integrating seamlessly with your existing production line, tackling labor costs while maintaining exceptional sealing performance.

Seals and Preserves Products with MAP and Vacuum

The GT5e Tray Sealer from Proseal is a modular, high-speed tray sealing solution designed with full vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) capabilities. It efficiently handles various sealing processes—atmospheric, gas flush, and vacuum—to preserve product quality across applications, including ready meals, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. Capable of sealing up to 96 vacuum gas packs per minute on an 8-impression tool, it boasts automated integration with tray de-nesters, fillers, and multi-head weighers for continuous production flow.

Energy consumption is significantly reduced with the Eseal® system, which enhances seal force while achieving a 92% reduction in energy use. This machine features a user-friendly design with five-minute tool changeover and wash-down protection, ensuring hygienic operations. The GT5e supports multiple packaging styles, adapting to evolving market trends with options like ProTect contactless machine login and eWON remote connection for real-time data access and error handling.

Built with food-approved materials, it comes with customizable features such as film tension monitoring and high oxygen gas flushing, which maximize throughput and minimize waste. Service and maintenance are streamlined through parts upgrades, training, and technology center support, making the GT5e a robust, future-ready choice for diverse industrial sealing needs.
