Award-winning Proseal versatility on show
T
he wide variety of tray sealing
solutions offered by global
specialist, Proseal, will be
demonstrated by the two models on
display at the Polagra Tech Exhibition,
on stand 111 in Hall 5.
The company will be showcasing its
advanced GTR semi-automatic, rotary
machine, ideal for compact efficiency
at smaller operations, and its fully
automatic, compact, high throughput
GT4s, which has now been awarded an
MTP Gold Medal ahead of the exhibition.
The Gold Medals are awarded by
a jury of experts to products that
demonstrate innovation based on
superior technology. The Proseal GT4s
combines a compact design with fast
speeds and rapid tool changes that
enable companies to react quickly
to meet customer demand, handling
atmospheric, gas flushing and hermetic
shrink sealed trays at speeds of up to
140 atmospheric packs per minute with
a seven-impression tool. The tray sealer
is ideal for a variety of applications,
including fresh fruit, meat, poultry and
ready meals.
Among the GT4s’s many advanced
features, ProMotion technology improves
speeds by up to 30% using following
motion and intelligent buffering
technology to enable trays to feed
continuously into the sealer without
stopping. Eseal® ensures excellent seal
reliability with an increased seal force of
200% while achieving a 92% reduction
in energy usage to deliver valuable cost
savings and sustainability benefits.
As well as its speed and efficiency, the
GT4s has been designed for reliable
and consistent operation in high-
care hygienic food environments. Its
rugged food-industry approved hygienic
construction provides easy cleaning,
with full washdown protection.
A rapid two-minute tool changeover
reduces downtime and gives the tray
sealer enormous flexibility through
its ability to seal vastly different tray
types while maintaining the same
efficiency and accuracy. The ‘Auto-
tool’ tool change system automatically
locates and connects tooling to machine
functions including all MAP options.

The GTR has been designed for
companies with smaller production runs
and is also the perfect choice for new
product development work. Its compact
dimensions mean it can fit into the
smallest of factory spaces.
Despite its semi-automatic operation,
the GTR has been designed to maximise
speeds. Unlike traditional manual
machines where the operator has to
wait for each tray to be sealed, the rotary
operation of the GTR means a new tray
can be loaded while the previous one is
being sealed, delivering higher speeds
and efficiencies to meet production line
requirements.
