Soft fruit packer MT Mitchell
has reduced pack costs,
attained high production
speeds and improved its
environmental performance
after installing a GT3 tray
sealer from heat sealing
specialist Proseal.

The twin lane version of
the GT3 offers high speeds
due to its twin lane feed
control that enables products
to be fed independently down
each lane. Speeds in excess of
180 trays/min are achieved.

MT Mitchell says the move
to top sealing from clip-on
lids reduces packaging weight
by 30%, delivering savings
that enhance the pack’s
environmental profile and
improve its overall
appearance on shelf.

The machine’s three axis
servo drive tray transfer
system helps to increase tray
throughput by automatically
adjusting for different tray
heights.
