AV Sealer Packaging Machine

Key Technology has introduced the redesigned AV sealer for packaging fresh-cut produce reliably and consistently. Ideal for small to medium size produce packers, this semi-automatic packaging machine heat seals a variety of bag sizes with or without a vacuum and has an optional gas flush cycle to maximize production flexibility and satisfy the demands of a wide range of fresh-cut applications, all on one system. The AV sealer offers adjustable user programs that set the vacuum pressure, gas flush, heat sealing temperature, and seal time to consistently package a wide range of products including wet and dry lettuce, cut vegetables, fruit, fresh herbs, and other small produce. The machine can be switched over to handle different products and different bag sizes in seconds with no tools, change parts, or mechanical adjustments. Simple controls and adjustable user programs enable operators to be trained to use the AV sealer in minutes. Bags up to 18.5 inches (470 mm) wide can be sealed with the AV sealer at the rate of four to six bags per minute. Designed for ease of use, bags and controls are ergonomically placed for easy operator access ? no lifting of a cover, lid, or sealing bar ? just push a button and seal the bag. Special order rack-mounted floor stands are available from the company for one, two, and four machine heads or a single bench configuration. The PLC-controlled AV Sealer maximises production flexibility while offering simple operation and consistent performance.
