Proseal Follows Queen ’ s Award With New TTE Tray Sealer

Proseal has launched its first tray sealer since winning a Queen ’ s Award for Interna-tional Trade 2018 . The Proseal TTe is a small , compact and robust tray sealer ideal for low-volume production and production trials .
The TTe has been developed specifically to assist the progression of safe food pack-aging and shelf life extension to underdeveloped countries where packaging is over-used and underutilised .
A semi-automatic , draw type , tray sealing machine with full vacuum facility , the Proseal TTe is capable of sealing up to ten vacuum / gas packs per minute with a twoimpression tool .
The machine is the latest addition to Proseal ’ s innovative ‘ e ’ technology range , which is characterised by its flexibility to perform any style of heat seal to a preformed tray – whether atmospheric , MAP , VMAP , Skin , Skin Plus or Skin Deep .
Each of these options can be added at the point of purchase or a later date , or indeed removed if necessary . This enables customers to future-proof their investment by giv-ing them the flexibility to change pack formats in line with customer demands and mar-ket trends , without having to purchase new equipment .
Simple in design and operation , fully portable and castor-mounted , the TTe is highly convenient to use .
It features a five-minute tool changeover , a simple and accurate film-feed system with an easy film route , and a maintenance-friendly robust construction .
Its ‘ Auto-Tool ’ feature means that , at the touch of a button , it automatically locates and connects the tooling to machine functions , including all MAP functions .
Another key benefit of the Proseal TTe is its high degree of accuracy .
The machine provides accurate temperature and seal pressure control , as well as an automatic seal operation with a precise seal dwell time .
The TTe tray sealer also offers exact temperature and seal pressure control , and a high-accuracy tool alignment system that provides an extremely consistent sealing or film-cutting relationship with the tray flange profile .
As with all Proseal tray sealers , the TTe features a food industry-approved hygienic construction and wash-down protection , as well as full Category 3 guarding .
“ With every new machine we release , we aim to take performance and usability to an-other level ,” comments Steve Malone , Proseal ’ s Director . “ It ’ s exactly this focus on con-tinuous growth and improvement that recently led to our Queen ’ s Award .
“ The flexibility and ease-of-use of our new TTe gives smaller food manufacturers the ideal solution to both their current and future production requirements .”
