According to Packaging Automation UK, its Revolution Tray Sealing Machine is the fastest most energy efficient single lane tray sealing machine in the world. It is capable of speeds of up to 150 packs per minute.
The benefits to its users include lower product costs and increased margins through decreased energy usage and increased efficiency, and therefore increased margins.
Revolution’s advantages come from its interpolated multi-axis robotic motion, which ensures a continuous flow of trays through the machine from infeed to outfeed. This eliminates any need for pauses or buffering. Revolution also uses Packaging Automation’s Powerdrive, which makes it a fully electric machine that operates without using any compressed air. This provides savings of up to 98% of the running costs of conventional pneumatically operated tray sealers. And its tooling technology can increase the seal force by up to 300% compared to pneumatic systems.
A smoother profile of the tray transfer into the machine allows fluid or liquid based products to be transferred without spilling at high speed, automatic recipe driven adjustment for printed film when changing products and RFID operator access fobs (security device) where factory security of machine settings and parameters is an issue.
Finally, Packaging Automation’s unique Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) technology can achieve the required gas levels through flushing as opposed to the vacuum gas flushing used by others.
