Entry-level model expands tray sealer range
Ishida Europe has launched a brand new entry-level tray sealer, for low-volumes and frequent changeovers or for start-up businesses in the food sector.
The new QX-300 is a reliable, hygienic and easy to operate machine suitable for a wide range of products including ready meals, salads, fruit and vegetables, meat, poultry and fish, soups and sauces, snacks and confectionery, as well as toiletries and medical products. Top speed is 20 trays per minute.
The Tray Sealer is compatible with all types of tray and top lid materials, including board, plastic and aluminium. It can handle a large number of different tray formats in depths up to 130mm and can be configured to specific product requirements, including sealing only, vacuum and vacuum/gas flushing.
High sealing pressure and accurate sealing temperature ensure excellent pack presentation and seal integrity. Product settings are changed using the preset menu on the operator control panel and tool changeovers can be achieved in less than five minutes.
User-friendly features include the easy to use control panel, automatic tray drawer and motorised film drive with automatic waste rewind. An optional foot pedal further enhances operation and offers increased output.
“The QX-300 provides the perfect introduction to tray sealing and is equally valuable as part of a new product development process, freeing existing automatic lines to maintain normal production,” comments Torsten Giese, Marketing Manager – PR & Exhibitions of Ishida Europe.
“Along with our current QX-775 and QX-1100 models, we now have a tray sealer range to meet most applications.”
