Further success for tray sealer

Soft fruit packager WH Porter has switched its entire production to a Proseal GT2 tray sealer after the machine demonstrated its capability of coping with the toughest production line demands.

WH Porter packs around three million units per year at a rate of up to 40,000 packs a day. It chose to switch to heat sealing using a film lid, and the Proseal GT2, as a way of reducing packaging and the environmental impact of the product.

The Proseal GT2 is a fully automatic high speed tray sealing system that combines high throughput with rapid tool change and space-saving design. Capable of 90+ packs a minute with a six-impression tool, the user-friendly system features Proseal's lightweight, high strength tooling.

James Porter, partner at WH Porter in Angus, says: "It is very heartening to see a British company achieving such a world-beating standard in build quality and backing it up with superb service and support."
