Soft-fruit packager WH Porter has switched its whole production to a Proseal GT2 tray sealer.

WH Porter packs all its own fruit, as well as produce from two other growers, adding up to around three million pack units per year at a rate of up to 40,000 packs a day, but claims the new Proseal system reduces packaging and the environmental impact of the product.

The Proseal GT2 is a fully automatic high-speed tray-sealing system combining high throughput with rapid tool change and space saving compact design. It is capable of 90 packs or more per minute with a six-impression tool.

James Porter, partner at WH Porter in Angus, Scotland, said: “It is very heartening to see a British company not only achieving such a world-beating standard in build quality, but also backing it up with superb service and support.”
