PACKAGING AUTOMATION LAUNCH SKIN PACK OPTION

Tray sealer specialist Packaging Automation, which celebrates its 50th year in 2013, has launched a vacuum skin pack option for its eclipse range of tray sealers at the MEATUP exhibition at the NEC. This brand new revolutionary pack format is gaining popularity in the meat, poultry and fish sectors.

The skin system of sealing offers high visibility vacuum packs on a pre-formed shallow tray, to improve shelf life and product quality and reduce packaging.

At MEATUP, PA demonstrated the reliability, versatility and cost effectiveness of the flexible eclipse range of machines.

The unique, fully electrical eclipse SL4 tray sealer can reduce the user’s running costs by 90% and it requires zero air for full operation. The machine has many capabilities including the option for skin packing, gas flushing and vacuum gas flushing. Ultra lightweight and quick release tooling is offered as standard on all eclipse machinery.

Ideal for the meat and poultry market, tray sealed packs offer consumers and retailers what they want – convenience, protection and freshness – and PA’s new eclipse range gives the manufacturers what they need – less waste, reduced pack weight and increased productivity.
