Adpak showcased its new semi-automatic Reepak Tray Lid Sealing machine.

The packaging and machinery specialist, which is the sole Reepak distributor in the UK and Ireland, secured a 90-machine deal at the 2006 event.

Zahida Shamim, Adpak sales office manager, said: “We have had considerable interest in the Tray Lid Sealing System at PPMA.

“The Reepak Tray Lid Sealing system works in such a way that the film is not pulled over the trays, and this makes it stand out from other products on the market. The machine is very simple, and easy to use. The tray drawer is pushed in and, when it is pulled out, the trays are sealed automatically.

“This system will keep food fresher for longer, and is perfect for the packaging of salads, tomatoes, and other prepared or fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.”
