GT6e

Automatic, extra-large capacity, high-speed, in-line tray sealing system with full vacuum facility designed to cut labour costs.

Capable of 96 Vacuum/Gas packs per minute on a 8 impression tool; the GT6e is a high throughput modular, single-lane, linear, heat-sealing system. It is designed to run in conjunction with auxiliary equipment such as tray de-nesters, fillers, multi-head weighers and labellers, combining into a stand-alone, fully automatic production line.

At the core of the 'e' design is its flexibility to perform any style of heat seal to a pre-formed tray, be that atmospheric, MAP, VMAP, Skin, Skin Plus, or Skin Deep. Each of these options can be added now or at a later date, or indeed removed as necessary. This flexibility provides the user with the assurance that whatever the latest packaging trend might be, they have equipment suitably geared for the future.
