Automatic Ready Meal Weighing Packaging Line with MAP & Vacuum Tray Sealing

We designed our ready meal weighing packaging to tackle production issues. It seals things properly every time with speed, precision, and modern technology. This system increases output, food quality, and safety. We designed a powerful, user-friendly machine. It fits seamlessly onto existing lines and gives you complete packaging control. Its sturdy structure makes it suitable for a busy food manufacturing, supporting your business growth. Everything from precise filling to a perfect seal is optimized for efficiency and performance, reducing waste and labor costs and maximizing ROI.

• Fully Automated Workflow: The machine handles every step automatically. It starts with loading empty trays and detecting them. Then, it fills the product quantitatively, pulls the film, and collects waste material. It also performs vacuum gas flushing, seals the tray, and cuts the film. Finally, it ejects the finished product onto a conveyor. This full automation reduces the need for manual labor and minimizes human error, which leads to a more consistent and efficient production process. This is very important for large-scale food factories that need to maintain high output levels without sacrificing quality. The system ensures each package is handled correctly, from start to finish.

• Advanced Sealing Technology: This system uses Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) with gas flush and vacuum sealing. This process removes oxygen from the tray and replaces it with a protective gas mixture. This technique is critical for extending the shelf life of fresh and cooked foods. It slows down spoilage, preserves color and flavor, and prevents the growth of bacteria. The result is a product that stays fresh for much longer on the store shelf and in the customer’s home. A strong, reliable seal ensures the protective atmosphere is maintained, guaranteeing product safety and quality for your customers.

• High-Speed Production: The line is designed for high-volume output. It can process between 1,000 and 1,500 trays per hour. This speed is ideal for medium to large-scale food manufacturers who need to meet strong market demand. By automating the packaging process, you can significantly increase your production capacity without adding more staff. This efficiency helps lower the cost per unit and improves your overall profitability. The machine is built to run continuously, providing a steady and reliable flow of packaged products to keep up with your production schedule and customer orders. It is a key asset for scaling your operations effectively.

• Customizable and Versatile: We understand that every product is different. This packaging line is highly flexible. It can be customized to handle a wide variety of tray sizes, shapes, and materials. It is suitable for many types of products, including ready meals, fresh vegetables, meat, sandwiches, and tofu. This versatility means you can use one machine for multiple product lines, making it a smart and adaptable investment. As your business grows or your product offerings change, the machine can be adjusted to meet new requirements, protecting your initial investment and supporting future business needs.

1. What foods does this machine work with?
This multifunctional machine packages several food goods. Ready-to-eat pasta, rice, and multi-component meals benefit from it. It also goes nicely with salads, chopped vegetables, meat, poultry, and seafood. They benefit from Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) technology, which keeps them fresh and extends shelf life. Sandwiches, tofu, and other tray-sealed foods are also possible.

2. Does the machine handle various tray shapes and sizes?
Yes, it can. We made this machine versatile to match your needs. It can accommodate round, square, and rectangular trays with PP, PET, and CPET materials. When you join with us, our engineers will understand your product needs. The tray dispenser and sealing molds will be customized to match your package. This versatility lets you use one machine for multiple product lines, which is wonderful.

3. How does MAP work?
The MAP system safeguards food quality. Vacuum and gas flush are the major procedures. First, the machine vacuums the tray to eliminate practically all ambient air, including oxygen, which spoils food. Secondly, it flushes the tray with a food-grade gas mixture of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and sometimes oxygen. This new atmosphere slows bacterial development, reduces oxidation, and preserves food color, texture, and flavor.

4. What happens during installation and training?
Smartpack offers full installation and training to maximize your investment. After the machine arrives, our technical staff will install and integrate it into your manufacturing line. After installation, we train operators and maintenance workers extensively. This course covers machine operation, safety, cleaning, and basic troubleshooting. Your staff should be confident and competent to run the equipment safely and efficiently.

5. What maintenance does the machine need?
SUS304 stainless steel is used to build the equipment for durability and low maintenance. Maintenance is easy and necessary for maximum operation. Our CIP (Clean-in-Place) system simplifies machine cleaning, notably the sealing head and product contact areas. Weekly and monthly examinations assess moving parts, pneumatic connections, and safety measures. Our maintenance handbook and schedule are extensive, and our global support network can help with technical issues and spare parts.
