Redpack R200 Labeller & Heat Sealer

• Applying labels and sealing packaging for fresh produce, such as fruit and vegetables.
• Packaging baked goods and confectionery items with a secure seal and branding.
• Sealing and labelling trays or punnets of meat, poultry, or fish products.
• Used in pharmaceutical and medical device packaging for tamper-evident sealing and product identification.
• Suitable for various non-food items requiring both labelling and heat sealing, such as hardware or small components.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly but commonly ranges from 20 to 60 packs per minute, depending on product size and label complexity.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a standard single-phase 230V AC electrical supply, often with a 13A or 16A connection.

Sealing method

Commonly employs a heated platen or band system to create a secure, consistent seal on various film types.

Label application

Typically uses a print-and-apply or pre-printed label applicator, often with top or top-and-bottom labelling capabilities.

Compatible film types

Units are commonly designed to work with a range of heat-sealable films, including PVC, PE, PP, and laminated films.

Footprint

The physical footprint for a machine of this type is typically compact, often around 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width, excluding infeed/outfeed conveyors.

Air supply

Some labelling and sealing functions may require a compressed air supply, typically 6 bar, for pneumatic operations.
