Flexibility and reliability seal Proseal performance

RELEASE REF: PRO/2005/012

User friendliness and excellent reliability are two key benefits of a Proseal F45 traysealer installed at Geo Adams and Sons' factory in Spalding, Lincolnshire, which has brought increased flexibility to the company's production of its Savoury Eggs and Bites ranges.

Geo Adams is the UK's leading manufacturer of savoury egg products, supplying over half the country's Scotch Eggs and other snacks. With a huge variety of products, including own-label for all the leading supermarkets, the company needed an additional off-line packaging facility to cope with any production overspill or last-minute order requirements.

"Proseal already supplied tooling for all the formats for our existing tray sealers so they were the obvious choice for the new machine," explains Ken Burgess of Geo Adams.

"The company was able to turn around our order very quickly and we have been delighted with the F45 which is extremely easy to use and which has never let us down since it was first installed."

The F45 features Proseal's pioneering 'Auto Tool' connections system, which enables tool changes to be carried out with minimum downtime. An LCD display provides step-by-step guidance for operators to ensure ease of use. Pre-programmable menus enable the machine to be set up automatically for each tool change and the display also provides fault diagnosis and production information. To further speed up tool changes at Geo Adams, individual parts for each set of tooling are colour coded.

The Proseal traysealer is manufactured to food industry approved hygiene standards with full wash down protection. Polymer bearings are used in water contact areas to avoid the risk of corrosion and maintain long-term reliable performance. Top speed is 65 packs per minute.

"Our already excellent working relationship with Proseal has been further consolidated since the installation of the F45," concludes Ken Burgess. "The company is as user-friendly as its equipment and we have been delighted at the consistently high levels of service and support that Proseal has given us."
