An Ishida QX775 traysealer, tailored to meet the precise requirements of customer Abergavenny Fine Foods, has enabled the company to substantially improve production efficiency and throughput on its oven bake breaded cheese production line.
Alongside favouring the system's speed, the specialist cheese producer was impressed by the "highly accurate, precise control" of the MAP-V (Modified Atmosphere Packaging with Vacuum) process, "excellent sealing properties", flexibility and ease of operation.
Fast changeover, "proven durability and reliability" and efficient pack presentation with an Ishida tray denester were further advantages, as was the traysealer's compact size, since it has had to fit into a tight space.
The unit offers a 50 tray/min line speed, "Inside Cut" technology to ensure no film extends beyond tray edges (which reduces film consumption by 5%), on-screen film tension adjustment and a "pullback" feature for consistent sealing quality.
