Packing Automation machines lead the way in heat sealing equipment and are so widely recognised they are now simply known as PA's.

Ideal for production runs that are short, the top-selling PA182 and its tooling can provide a series of quick changes between batches.

Greg Harrison, operations manager for Cavaghan and Gray's, a division of Northern Foods producing ready meals said: 'The 182 is simple and easy to operate and there is only very little training needed before someone is capable of handling one. We have found them robust and reliable.' PA's sales manager, Neil Ashton said: 'It is always pleasing to receive compliments from our customers and it is nice of Cavaghan and Gray to put us on a par with a leading manufacturer. Our customers are always important to us and we like to deliver exactly what they require. With Cavaghan and Gray we must have got it right because they are coming back for more.'
