Technical Specifications & Substrate Compatibility:

  • CPET & Dual-Ovenable Applications: Precision temperature-controlled sealing heads calibrated for CPET trays, supporting extreme thermal ranges from deep freeze storage (-40°F) to high-temperature conventional oven heating (up to 400°F).
  • Mono-PET & Recyclable Rigid Films: Customized sealing pressure profiles designed for 100% recyclable mono-PET and APET containers, guaranteeing a hermetic, leak-proof seal without film distortion or tray warping.
  • Microwavable PP & Ready Meals: High-speed sealing compatibility for polypropylene (PP) food trays, ideal for fresh meal tray packing, MAP (Gas Flush), and hot-fill ready-to-eat applications.
  • Equipment Callout (ILPRA Speedy Series): Compact inline and tabletop models engineered with rapid tool-less mold changeovers to instantly switch between CPET ovenable trays and standard microwavable PP containers.

Our tray sealing machines guarantee a secure heat seal across everything from single ready-to-eat trays to complex multi-compartment plastic containers. By combining vacuum skin packaging (VSP) with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), these systems prevent bacterial growth, extend shelf life, and preserve food texture, flavor, and appearance.

Whether you need a compact manual food tray sealing machine or a high-speed automated setup, our staff provides full equipment support, custom tooling, and end-to-end overwrapping equipment integration for your packaging line.

Frequently Asked Questions: ILPRA Tray Sealers

How long does a mold changeover take on ILPRA tray sealers, and are tools required?

Most ILPRA tray sealers feature tool-free quick-changeover tooling systems. On semi-automatic models like the FP ENERGY and FP SPEEDY, a complete mold and film changeover can be completed in under 5 to 10 minutes without specialized tools, minimizing downtime when switching between tray sizes or seal types (MAP to VSP).

Which ILPRA models support both MAP and Vacuum Skin Packaging (VSP) on the same machine?

Models like the FP 400 "Special Edition", FP SPEEDY, FP Sprint, and Hyper Series can be equipped with multi-configuration tooling. This allows operators to run standard Heat Seal, Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP / Gas Flush), and Vacuum Skin Packaging (VSP) on a single chassis simply by selecting the pre-programmed recipe on the PLC touch screen.

What utility connections (electricity, compressed air, gas) are required for an automatic tray sealer?

Utility requirements vary by machine class:

  • Tabletop & Small Production (FP ENERGY, FP 400): Standard 110V/220V single-phase electrical power and clean compressed air (approx. 6 bar).
  • High-Speed Inline Sealers (FP Sprint, Master, Hyper Series): 220V or 480V 3-phase electrical connections, compressed air supply, and dedicated food-grade gas supply lines (Nitrogen/CO2 mixtures) when using MAP.

Can ILPRA tray sealers handle ovenable CPET and microwavable PP trays?

Yes. ILPRA machines utilize digital multi-zone thermal controls and precise pressure settings to reliably seal ovenable CPET (crystalline polyethylene terephthalate) and microwaveable PP trays without compromising structural tray integrity or film seal barrier quality.
