NEW TRAY SEALER OFFERS GREATER SPEED AND FLEXIBILITY Ishida Europe has extended its range of QX Flex tray sealers with the launch of a new model that meets market demands for a compact, high performance model that maximises output, capacity and flexibility for medium to high volume production lines. Ishida’s ongoing investment in its tray sealing portfolio is driven by the continuing global demand for shelf-life extension to reduce food waste and to provide quality assurance for the consumer while also ensuring minimal impact from packaging materials. The Ishida QX-900 Flex operates at up to 15 cycles per minute with a maximum of seven impressions, delivering a top speed of 105 packs per minute. The tray sealer is capable of both seal only and MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) trays and can handle a wide variety of materials and formats, including trays made from recycled or renewable cardboard and mono plastics, and the latest skinpack and skin on board variants.
