Richmond, Va.-based Proseal is offering advanced tray sealing machines for soft fruit growers.

Proseal, according to a news release, offers a range of manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic tray sealers.

In addition, the release said that Proseal machines offer a two-minute rapid-tool-change means, which contribute to a wide variety tray formats, materials and sizes can be sealed on one machine.

“Our tray sealing machines offer fruit growers greater flexibility to seal different designs and sizes of trays with efficiency and accuracy,” Proseal sales director Tony Burgess said in the release. “This, combined with our innovative technologies and production lead times, make us a world leader in tray sealing soft fruits.”

The release said the company’s sustainability initiatives include the replacement of traditional clam-shell punnets with top film sealed varieties, which is increasingly common and can reduce plastic usage by 45% in many cases.

Recently, the release said the company has been at the forefront of the introduction of new recyclable and compostable trays and film for fruit that can further reduce plastic usage by as much as 96%.

“We are proud of the many innovations we have developed for the effective and efficient tray sealing of soft fruit. And we will continue to develop the appropriate technologies to help support sustainable solutions that deliver quality.” Burgess said in the release.
