Tray Sealer/Conveyor Meet Produce Company’s Need for Speed and Space

A tray sealer and integrated conveyor provide Hawthorne Produce with greater throughput and ample production line space for packing, allowing it to meet increased customer demand.

U.K.-based HP², short for Hawthorn Produce, Packaging & Handling, required a high-speed tray-sealing machine to meet growing customer demand for top-sealed packs of grapes. The machine had to be capable of sealing 120 packs/min. To meet these needs, HP² chose the Proseal GT2s tray sealer with a fully integrated flat-belt SC conveyor, making a total line length of around 33 ft.

The large-capacity Proseal GT2s tray sealer is meeting HP²’s need for speed with an average throughput of 127 packs/min, thus enabling the company to comfortably meet customer demands and even take on extra orders.
