Linco Food Systems will be exhibiting the new Mecapack O² 5000 MAP tray sealing machine, the smallest of the inline tray sealing machines from Mecapack ideally suited for customers with small to medium production rooms and limited floor space.

With a completely washable, free draining body and stainless steel construction allowing easy access for tooling and format changes and cleaning, the O² 5000 machine offers an ideal combination of compact footprint, hygienic design, and efficiency unique to Mecapack.

The O² 5000 uses an IP65 colour touch screen, brushless motor technology, and commercially available electronics. Optional Plexiglass guarding allows the operator easy visual access to the tooling / sealing area for monitoring of the machine operation. 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.
