As well as the speed of the Proseal tray sealers, Dovecote Park cites ease of use, quick tool changeovers, reliability and excellent seal quality as key benefits.

The GT2 incorporates Proseal’s high-speed high oxygen gas flushing for red meat, with reduced cycle time to maximise throughput.  High speeds are achieved through features such as servo-controlled pack transfer which creates a smooth movement for trays throughout the sealing process, and self-centring pack guides, which ensure trays are accurately positioned for sealing, a key factor in particular after a tool change. Automatic film snap and film end detection also help to maintain consistent operation.

A user-friendly menu-driven control panel provides ease of set up and operation, which can be remotely accessed and controlled. The screen also provides detailed production data, production monitoring and full diagnostics. 

Dovecote Park retail production director, David Redman, comments: "The machines are well designed and not over-specified; they do exactly what is required of them consistently and reliably, particularly in terms of seal quality. I also like the fact that they are very accessible, with easy to understand and operate controls and the ability to see what is happening inside.  In addition, tool changes are much faster than our previous equipment.  All this ensures we can get maximum output from the tray sealers throughout each 12 hour shift.”
