Three G2 tray sealers from heat sealing specialist Proseal are helping UK-based berry grower Hall Hunter Partnership (HHP) minimise its packaging and reduce its carbon footprint in order to meet the environmental requirements of UK retailers.
According to Hall Hunter Partnerships, which is a major supplier of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries to UK supermarkets, the change to Proseal's GT2 tray sealers helps to reduce plastic usage by around 25 per cent.
'We looked at a number of different tray sealer manufacturers, but the Proseal machines were not only competitive on price but equally important offered the best performance along with the most comprehensive sales and service support,' said Richard Woodcock, packhouse manager at Hall Hunter.
'Given the intense nature of our business throughout the busy summer period, where we can pack around 400 tonnes of product each week, and the necessity of ensuring prompt and reliable deliveries, we had to know we could rely on the equipment come what may,' he added.
The Proseal GT2 is capable of sealing up to 96 packs per minute, and is manufactured to food industry approved standards with full wash-down protection.
