UK Client Success with MAP Tray Sealing Machine

map tray sealing machine for ready to eat meals

A UK ready meal manufacturer faced a short shelf life and high product waste. We provided a customized modified atmosphere packaging machine solution. After installation, their product’s shelf life rose from 5 days to 8 days, and waste was reduced by 35%. This proves our MAP tray sealing machine can effectively cut costs and boost profits for food processing plants.

How We Exported Our MAP Tray Sealing Machine

The customer is a family food factory in Manchester, UK, producing chilled ready meals and fresh pasta trays. Their old ordinary packaging caused food discoloration and water loss, with only 5 days shelf life, failing to meet local supermarket 7-day sales requirements. They searched Google for packaging equipment and entered our page on the modified atmosphere packaging machine. They submitted an online inquiry form, and our manager replied in 20 minutes. After confirming their product materials and 600–700 boxes per hour output, we recommended the FL-QD-520 MAP tray sealing machine and explained its gas flush advantages clearly. The customer recognized our fast response and professional solution.

Vacuum Gas Flush Tray Sealer Matches Client’s Production Needs

Our vacuum gas flush tray sealer perfectly satisfied the client’s three core needs:

  • Over 99% gas replacement rate, residual oxygen below 0.5%, effectively preventing food spoilage
  • ±2% precise gas mixing, stable for their pasta, sauce, and vegetable products
  • Max 700 boxes per hour output, fully meeting peak order demands

The machine fits the UK power standard, suitable for wet and oily food packaging. After video inspection and sample testing, the customer placed the order within one week.
