Ishida Tray Sealer

• Sealing pre-filled trays of fresh meat, poultry, and fish for retail display.
• Packaging ready meals, salads, and prepared foods to extend shelf life.
• Sealing bakery products and desserts in protective trays.
• Creating modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for various perishable goods.
• Packaging small components or non-food items requiring a sealed tray.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, speeds commonly range from 40 to 120 packs per minute, depending on tray size and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

An Ishida tray sealer generally has a moderate footprint, requiring sufficient space for the main unit, infeed, and outfeed conveyors.

Tray materials

This equipment is typically compatible with a wide range of tray materials, including CPET, APET, PP, and aluminium.

Film types

Commonly handles various sealing films, including barrier films for MAP applications, peelable films, and lidding films.

Gas flushing capability

Many Ishida tray sealers are designed for integration with gas mixers for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).

Mould changeover

Units often feature quick-change tooling for different tray formats, supported by mechanisms like electric trolleys for efficiency.

Control system

Typically features a PLC-based control system with a touchscreen HMI for operation and recipe management.
