Tray, Cup & Bowl Sealing machines are designed to apply secure seals over pre-formed containers to protect the contents and extend shelf life. These machines handle various container materials and shapes—whether round cups, compartmentalized trays, or single-serve bowls—and apply a lid or film using heat, pressure, or a combination of both. Sealing materials may include foil for tamper resistance, peelable films for consumer convenience, or paper-based lids for eco-conscious applications. The process is widely used in food manufacturing, particularly for ready-to-eat meals, dairy products, snacks, and shelf-stable or refrigerated goods. These machines are valued for their precision, hygiene, and compatibility with high-volume production environments.

Typical products and applications include:

• Yogurt, sour cream, and fruit cups: Sealed with foil or film to maintain freshness and prevent contamination
• Instant ramen, noodle bowls, or soups: Sealed with foil or plastic film to enable shelf stability and reheating
• Refrigerated or frozen prepared meals: Tray-sealed to contain heat and prevent leaks during transport
• Deli sides, dips, and sauces: Portion-packed and sealed in small cups for foodservice or retail
• Ready-to-heat pastas or casseroles: Compartment trays sealed to preserve flavor separation and microwave readiness

Additional Considerations:

• Offers flexibility in sealing materials and methods: Heat sealing, peelable lids, or ultrasonic options available
• Can integrate with filling, coding, and labeling systems: Enables full automation within a packaging line
• Compatible with MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging): Helps extend shelf life for perishable products
• Supports a variety of packaging formats and container sizes: Ideal for both single-serve and multi-compartment applications
• Ensures tamper evidence and product integrity: Essential for consumer safety and regulatory compliance
