Traysealer for modified atmosphere packaging
Enhance your food packaging line with precise traysealing and modified atmosphere capabilities, ensuring product freshness while extending shelf life, ideal for intricate applications from marinated meats to delicate confectioneries.

The SMART 500 Traysealer from ULMA Packaging is a versatile machine designed for semi-automatic operation within the food packaging industry. With the ability to perform up to 8 cycles per minute using cut & seal methods and 5 cycles per minute with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), it is ideal for sealing a wide variety of preformed trays containing products like sliced ham, salads, marinated chicken, and more. The traysealer operates through a manual tray transport system, which allows flexible operations including sealing, vacuum packing, and gas flushing.
This machine can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines, offering fast format changes without tools and handling tray heights up to 120 mm. Its SIEMENS programmable logic control system facilitates easy operation with LCD displays for parameter setup and error notifications, supporting up to 20 programmable set-ups. Built with corrosion-resistant materials, the SMART 500 ensures durability while conforming to CE safety codes and ISO 9001 standards. Additional features include digital vacuum controls, gas flushing options, and cantilever film roll supports for enhanced flexibility in diverse packaging environments.
Maintenance is simplified, thanks to its removable covers allowing access to all machine components, and compliance with IP 65 for sanitary operations. The SMART 500 Traysealer is an efficient solution for food packaging companies seeking to preserve product quality and extend shelf life through precise and reliable sealing operations.
