Programming is easy with an intuitive 10” colour touch screen for all settings and parameters and with on screen assistance.

Available in configurations for single or double lane operation and speeds of up to 15 cycles/minute (sealing) and 12 cycles/minute (vacuum and gas) production rates of up to 60 packs per minute are achievable on 8x5 or 9x7 trays working in double lane format.
