Strawberry grower Busby
Partners has increased
throughput to meet its target
of 90 packs/min, reduced
labour costs and cut
packaging waste following
the installation of Proseal’s
GT2 tray sealer for the top
sealing of fruit punnets.

Proseal designed a
customised outfeed to the
tray sealer to accommodate
the dimensions of the Busby
Partners pack house.

By switching to the GT2,
the company has reduced
packaging waste by 25%.

Using pre-printed film and
printing any additional
information online has
eliminated the need for print
and apply labels.

The move has reduced
labour packing costs by 20%
and increased throughput in
the packing house, enabling
the company to grow more
fruit without expanding its
workforce.

Proseal installed a GT2 on
one of the Farm Fresh sites
so the packing team could get
used to the machine. Proseal
also manufactured a special
outfeed with a 90° angle to
meet the space available.
