Tray sealing

Overview

Tray sealers are machines that bring together and seal plastic trays with a heated top film. They thus represent a sub-process of forming, filling and closing systems, in which the tasks of film unwinding and deflection, sealing station and toggle lever storage take place.

Products used and application examples

A hygienic design without lubricants, high wear resistance, chemical resistance, insensitivity to frequent cleaning and a long service life: The food industry also sets the highest standards for all machine components in traysealers.
Here we support the industry with our innovative products from our iglidur® and drylin® bearing portfolios. They prove themselves, for example, at the sealing and lifting station or for the storage and deflection of the packaging film.

1. film unwinding and deflection

**2. toggle lever storage (sealing and lifting station)

3. vertical storage (sealing and lifting station)**

1. film unwinding and deflection
xiros ball bearings enable the film to be supported. They are also a cost-effective and lubrication-free alternative to metal ball bearings for film deflection.

2. toggle lever****storage(Sealing and lifting station)
The axis at the drawing-in and sealing station are mounted in iglidur ® plain bearings made of the materials J and Z, which absorb high forces.
