Food presented direct to the customer in a sealed tray, informs them that the product is safe to eat because germs and bacteria could not have entered the food from the moment it was packaged, until they remove it from their oven or microwave. Tray sealing machines provide a large element of safety and security to customers purchasing food to eat elsewhere and later in the day or week.
What Food Is Packaged in Trays?
Packaging of food and ready meals have seen a vast increase in sales during the past 20 years. The lifestyles of individuals have changed considerably and ready meals are a perfect way to produce meals for individuals or families within a short period of time, while guaranteeing consistency.
Companies that provide the trays can prepare their products in a variety of shapes and sizes which can easily be part of the production line where a tray sealing machine will complete the process of packaging.
Businesses may use tray sealing machines to keep a salad untouched and fresh within a container so that what you see on a supermarket shelf is exactly how it was prepared and packaged.
Fruit and vegetables as well as fish and meat can be provided within a standard tray sealer, or by using vacuum packaging so that the air is removed, which helps the product last longer.
An advanced sealing machine can provide a wide range of benefits to the production company and their end customer. The food will be added to each individual tray as part of the entire production lines. The sealing machine can be set to seal a number of packages at the same time, while automatically cutting each tray from the others, before moving the items to a conveyor belt for further packing and shipping.
Small restaurants and take-out companies can purchase small tray sealing machines so they can effectively provide a high standard of safety and security for the enclosed food, ensuring it cannot be spilled during transport.
The size of machine purchased will match the expected requirements for the company.
