Companies in the food & beverage\nindustry know how critical packaging is for keeping food fresh and preventing\ndeterioration. Packaging also plays a crucial role in attracting customers and\nmaking the food easily transportable. Tray sealing is a newish trend that looks\nlike it’s here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nichrome is happy to introduce you to this\nnew technology for food packaging<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tray sealers are automated\npackaging machines<\/strong><\/a> that apply\nplastic film lids to trays of varying materials, sizes, shapes and depths. They\nare also known as heat sealers, top sealers or tray lidding machines. The\nversatility of this technology makes it the optimal solution for packaging\nfresh produce, meats, frozen meals, ready-made meals, snacks and more. In\nIndia, their application is growing in the snacks and sweetmeats section with a\nlarge number of mithai and savoury items being packaged in thermoformed trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tray Sealers<\/strong> come in two basic\nformats: semi-automatic and automatic. The process begins with the\nproduct-filled trays entering the in-feed conveyor where they get indexed and\nspaced. They are then picked up by a transfer beam to be transferred within the\ntooling. The seal plate picks up the product-filled trays and lifts them\nagainst the film. The film and trays are then compressed against the heated\nupper tooling to activate the sealing properties against the tray, while\nsimultaneously cutting the film. Finally, after the necessary seal dwell time\nhas elapsed, the seal station lowers the trays back down and ejects them to the\nout-feed of the machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nichrome, India\u2019s leading provider of automatic packaging machines<\/strong><\/a> and integrated packaging solutions<\/strong> has tied up with Tecnovac, Italy to bring the latest MA<\/a><\/strong>P <\/a>tray sealing technology<\/a><\/strong> to India\u2019s food industry.
