Cup and Tray Sealing Machines

Cup and tray sealing machines are used in the food and beverage industry. Water, soups, cheese, ice creams etc.

The single cavity cup sealers are used for small scale production units and multi cavity cup sealers are used for mass production units. These can be used for sealing in products like curd, jelly, puddings, milk and other frozen foods. These are also used for electrical appliances and soap powders etc. the cup material generally used is PVC, PP and HIPS.

The technology used is heat weld. It makes the cup leak proof and airtight. The multi cavity cup sealers are used for mass production and hence they are either semi automatic or automatic. They have auto adjustable dies to adjust to the container size.

The tray sealing machines currently being used have vacuum less gas flushing. While sealing the oxygen is reduced to very low levels and the laminar flow technology prevents the atmospheric oxygen to enter the container before sealing. The system uses plastic membrane seals. All the operator has to do is put the tray in the cut out and push the button to slide it to the lid or the seal station. The machines automatically forms, cuts and seals tray

The manual tray sealers are ideal for the newly launched products, samples and test launch of products. The automatic or the semi automatic machines are used for sealing various things from tealeaves and ice creams to dry fruits and soap. The new sealing technology enhances the shelf life and improves the product ambience.

There are fill and seal machines available that of course do the job of filling the cup or tray and seal it but can be used as sealing machines for the pre filled containers. The seal can be plastic die cut or can be pre cut foil, film or lid. Some machines have an attachment to apply plastic sealers over the lidded cups or trays. The automatic machines have no cup no lid option.
