Fruit tray sealer is the tops

Strawberry grower Busby Partners, a member of the Farm Fresh PO (FFPO), has substantially increased throughput to meet its target of 90 packs per minute while reducing labour costs and cutting packaging waste following the installation of Proseal's GT2 tray sealer for the top sealing of fruit punnets.

As part of the installation Proseal also designed a customised outfeed to the tray sealer to accommodate the dimensions of the Busby Partners pack house.

By switching to the GT2, Busby Partners has reduced packaging waste by 25%, while using pre-printed film and printing any additional information online has eliminated the need for print and apply labels.
