MPE UK has launched the fully electric modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) i4 tray sealer aimed primarily at the red meat market.

MPE said its technology is flexible and high throughput, and capable of running large format trays, including cardboard packs, while taking up minimal factory floor space.

Inline tray sealers can be used for various applications to increase performance.

Features include a self-intuitive user interface, easy and quick tool change, advanced self-diagnostics, rogue object detection and ‘Smart spacing technology’. Pre-heating stations can reduce the already-speedy 10-minute changeover to just five minutes.

John Hodgkiss, MPE’s technical director, said: “All-electric packaging equipment provides red meat processors of all sizes exactly what they need to stay ahead of the packaging innovation curve. Competition in the UK meat and poultry packaging market is rarely anything other than fierce because the industry demands not only the most hygienic solution, but excellent presentation and extended shelf life for retailers.”
