Solutions for the convenience foods industry

Spontaneously bought, consumed on the go or heated up in just a few minutes – healthy snacks and easily prepared ready meals are becoming ever more popular, as consumers have less time and are continuously seeking for convenience. As a result, our shopping behaviour is changing: buying on impulse is growing fast and less people purchase food to be stocked.

In the meantime, consumer demands are increasing. Quality, freshness and excellent taste have become self-evident. The consumer’s decision to buy from an ever growing product range on the retail shelves is strongly influenced by product appeal: only products that look good taste good and are therefore tempting to buy. Whether it concerns MAP or shrink packaging, with or without an opening aid or reclosability, and preferably produced from environmental-friendly materials, SEALPAC has the solutions.

    Overview of SEALPAC solutions for the convenience foods industry.

FAQ о Полуфабрикаты

  • Can the packaging reliably achieve the required shelf life and food safety standards?

    Owing to their consistent sealing process, regardless whether using modified atmosphere packaging or vacuum skin packaging, SEALPAC traysealers and thermoformers always guarantee maximum shelf life. Naturally, this also depends on the packaging materials used and the production environment (e.g. hygiene and temperature). In today’s world, the main challenge is reducing plastics whilst maintaining the shelf life of convenience foods. For each product, we support our customers by reducing the thickness of plastic used in their current packaging, as well as by introducing hybrid solutions, where most of the plastic is replaced by cardboard. In case of hybrid solutions, we enable the consumer to separate the individual materials after use. By throwing these materials away in the appropriate waste bins, recycling is made easy. In case of 100% plastic packaging, we have optimized our traysealers to handle so-called ultra-light trays. Since 2014 already, we offer our EasyLid® system for reclosable packaging, due to which the common snap-on lid can be eliminated. This leads to weight reductions of up to 40%. On our SEALPAC thermoformers, we offer the unique SmartShape forming system that achieves an improved consistency, particularly in the corners of the pack, without requiring an additional stamp mechanism. As a result, up to 10% thinner films can be used. All this, without compromising on shelf life.

  • How well does the machine handle sauces, liquids, and multi-component meals without seal contamination?

    SEALPAC traysealers and thermoformers are known for their high seal integrity. By combining first-class lifting systems with innovative sealing technology, your convenience foods, regardless if it concerns solid foods or liquid foods, will always be hermetically packaged. We handle multi-compartment trays with ease, and can even seal each compartment individually with our unique separate InsideCut technology. Furthermore, we are capable of combining a hermetic seal with easy opening for the consumer. And in today’s world, where plastic needs to be reduced to the minimum, and the recyclability of that plastic need to be maximized, we offer various packaging solutions that still make your products stand out on the retail shelves.

  • What packaging formats are supported (MAP, skin, dual-compartment trays, ovenable trays, etc.)?

    Since the foundation of our company, SEALPAC machines have been designed to run all of today’s and tomorrow’s packaging concepts on the same base machine. This includes classic modified atmosphere packaging, vacuum skin packaging, and shrink packaging, but also more complicated packaging concepts such as FlatSkin®, FibreStyle, or separate InsideCut. As packaging experts, we would gladly sit down with you to design the optimal pack for your convenience product.

  • Can the machine process microwaveable, ovenable, and recyclable tray materials reliably?

    SEALPAC traysealers can handle any kind of tray material, from stainless steel to mono-plastics. The trays can be ovenable, microwavable, or even suitable for air frying. For handling different types of trays, we offer different types of in-feed systems. From ultra-light trays to sustainable, extremely flat cardboard carriers: no matter which packaging solution you require, we always provide the right conveyor system.

  • How flexible is the system for frequent recipe, portion size, and SKU changes?

    All SEALPAC machines are equipped with innovative quick tooling exchange systems that make switching between different applications easy and avoid unnecessary machine downtime. On our thermoformers, for example, the sealing top tool can be replaced with minimum effort using a special trolley. This makes the exchange not only much quicker, but also safer for your employees, who no longer have to lift or carry heavy components. Other quick exchange systems include the side exchange or swivel table for bottom tools. On our traysealers, we offer the possibility for a tooling exchange from both sides of the machine using a unique SEALPAC trolley with integrated power connections. As such, a format change can take place within minutes.

  • What output can realistically be achieved for high-volume production?

    The output always depends on a number of factors, such as product, format, packaging concept, and production environment. A packaging line can only go as fast as its slowest component, but this will not be the SEALPAC packaging machine. As an example, our A10max traysealer in double-lane execution could package 200 trays per minute under MAP (based on a 190 x 144 mm tray). However, line efficiency is also important. Every unplanned interruption, inefficient movement, or disruption in the process directly impacts production costs. Against this backdrop, our packaging machines are consistently designed for stable, reproducible processes. We rely on robust construction, intelligent monitoring systems, and automated assistance functions that ensure flawless operation again and again. As such, we achieve the highest OEE in the market, sometimes up to 99.5%.

  • How attractive and consistent is the final package presentation on shelf?

    With a perfect recognition of market-defining trends, SEALPAC quickly converts these into innovative products, systems, solutions and services. We work closely together with leading manufacturers of packaging materials to develop consumer-driven total solutions, which will improve your production’s efficiency and profitability. This includes paper-based solutions, such as eTray® or FlatSkin®, but also microwavable solutions such as the Micvac® system, We work jointly with you towards the optimal solution for your individual application, so that every single one of your ready meals or snacks will impress your customers, and that your long-term success at retail is secured.

  • How easy is the machine to clean and maintain in high-care production environments?

    Due to their sophisticated design with optimal accessibility, SEALPAC traysealers and thermoformers stand for enhanced protection of both product and personnel. Whether it concerns the stainless-steel body that can be hosed down, the integrated slopes that optimize water drainage, or the avoidance of interfering contours: our machines allow for fast, simple and reliable cleaning.

  • How well does the machine integrate with filling, dosing, labeling, and automation systems?

    SEALPAC equipment is known for its flawless integration into new and existing production lines. As such, the machines enable you to set up fully automated solutions for the processing and packaging of your products. Any synchronization, be it with multi-head weighers, filling systems for liquids, coding equipment, labellers, metal detection, or even end-of-line equipment for secondary packaging, is made easy. Furthermore, SEALPAC machines are fully prepared for Industry 4.0, meaning that they can be easily integrated into digitalized production environments via standardized interfaces (e.g. OPC/UA). This allows for maximum control and traceability.

  • What are the total operating costs, including film, tray, gas, energy, and maintenance expenses?

    When evaluating a packaging line, simply looking at the investment costs is no longer sufficient. What matters is how efficient the line is in daily operation and what the actual cost per package is. Energy consumption, material usage, changeover times, uptime, and process stability, even when using more challenging mono-materials, are directly interconnected. The total cost of ownership can only be determined by knowing your exact production details. In general, we know that the investment costs of a SEALPAC machine are less than 3% of the total line costs, that we have 90% less air consumption by using servo technology, that we can run up to 10% thinner films on our thermoformers due to the SmartShape forming technology, that we can place 33% more trays in a tool by running Long Side Leading, and that we have up to 30% less film consumption with InsideCut whilst achieving an excellent product appearance. Furthermore, our machines are built to last: over 95% of every traysealer or thermoformer ever built is still in operation!
