Proseal has launched the world’s first semi-automatic tray sealer for skin deep packs.

The Proseal GTR-E is able to seal products that sit up to 100mm above the edge of the tray, making it ideal for large pieces of meat and joints. The film wraps tightly around the meat to extend the shelf life of the product without the need for gas flushing, and provides enhanced presentation.

The GTR-E has been developed in association with its first customer, Rhug Estate. To meet the company’s need for maximum flexibility, as well as being able to handle skin deep packs, the GTR-E can seal a wide variety of other pack types, including standard, gas flushed, and vacuum gas flushed trays, and ordinary skin pack trays.

Unlike traditional manual machines where the operator has to wait for each tray to be sealed, the rotary operation of the GTR-E means a new tray can be loaded while the previous one is being sealed, delivering higher speeds and efficiencies.

“With limited space available in our packing operation, we approached Proseal to help us come up with an appropriate solution,” says Rhug Estate cutting plant manager, Gary Jones “The GTR-E meets our requirements and we have been delighted with the high standard of service from Proseal and the reliability and efficiency of the machine.”
