Proseal has installed its GT2 tray sealer installed at leading Scottish soft-fruit supplier Geoffrey Bruce Ltd to great effect.
Geoffrey Bruce Ltd, based in Perthshire, packs Scottish strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackcurrants and has been seeking a reliable tray sealer for its punnets of strawberries and raspberries as part of the move by major UK supermarkets to top-sealed packs instead of clip-on lids.
The Proseal GT2 is “one of the fastest tray sealers on the market”, offering a top speed of up to 96 packs per minute. Special features such as servo-controlled pack transfer, which creates a smooth movement for trays throughout the sealing process, and self-centring pack guides mean “product quality is maintained even at the highest speeds”.
Proseal’s advanced lightweight and high strength ‘Auto Tool’ connection system enables tool changes to be carried out in around three minutes.
Geoffrey Bruce Ltd’s manager James White said: “We have been very impressed with the GT2, which has more than lived up to expectations in terms of its performance, reliability and simplicity of operation.
“The nature of our business means we can be asking the machine to work a 14-hour shift one day and a one-hour shift the next, so it was vital that it was flexible enough to adapt to these needs and reliable enough not to let us down at an inopportune moment.
“While the machine’s performance has been excellent, we have also been reassured by the superb service back-up provided by Proseal. This included having an engineer based in Scotland during our peak season so that any issue could be dealt with extremely quickly.”
