Tray sealers are automated packaging machines that apply plastic film lids to filled food trays of various materials, sizes and shapes. They are optimal for packaging fresh produce, meats and prepared foods. Tray sealers come in semi-automatic and automatic formats. In a semi-automatic machine, product-filled trays enter and get sealed with film through a process of lifting, compressing and cutting the film. Tray sealers are commonly used in the food industry for packaging snacks, sweets and other products.

Tray Sealers come in two basic formats: semi-automatic and automatic.
• The product-filled trays enter the in-feed conveyor where they get indexed and spaced.
• They are picked up by a transfer beam to be transferred within the tooling.
• The seal plate picks up the product-filled trays and lifts them against the film.
• The film and trays are then compressed against the heated upper tooling to activate the
sealing properties against the tray, while simultaneously cutting the film.
• Finally, after the necessary seal dwell time has elapsed, the seal station lowers the trays back
down and ejects them to the out-feed of the machine.
