Multivac Rolls Out Automatic T350 Traysealer To Mid-Range Market

T350 New Economical Packaging System Allows Companies to Upgrade & Streamline Operation

Kansas City, MO - Multivac's new T350 traysealer packaging system is the first compact, fully automatic machine available to increase packaging capacity and flexibility while reducing product changeovers. Its small footprint and economical price makes it a perfect machine for small to medium sized companies looking to move into automated processing. The machine's tray transfer system enables filling and finishing simultaneously and a modular stainless design accommodates up to 30 tray packs per minute. A single-track configuration makes it an ideal system for integration into an array of food packaging lines ranging from meat and ready meals to a variety of vegetables and salads. All Multivac traysealing systems are easy to maintain and meet strict food sanitation standards.

The T350 traysealer is equipped with an in-feed conveyor, tray transfer system, sealing die and integrated cutting unit. The infeed can also be extended to include an automatic denester. Trays can be loaded manually or automatically on the infeed conveyor to facilitate continuous product flow into and out of the machine for optimal efficiency. The machine comes with a microprocessor control unit that stores different settings and precisely implements temperatures, process times and operations.

"We developed this cost-effective automatic T350 traysealing technology to bring companies into automated packaging without breaking the budget or requiring a large amount of space," says Mark Wilhelm, traysealer product manager, Multivac, Inc. "Multivac's specialized team of packaging engineers can work with each customer to customize a system that produces a range of tray sizes that meet all product line demands."

The tooling of the T350 has been designed to provide quick and simple changeovers to allow processors the advantage of a wide variety of tray sizes, materials, colors, and shapes to differentiate their products. Heat-sealable lidding film provides superb sealing pressure and seams.
