Tray sealing machine Hendi 976722

This Hendi tray sealing machine combines an adjustable sealing temperature with a pressure damper that helps make an airtight pack without crushing the container. It gives a kitchen a dedicated way to close prepared portions at the packing station, with controlled pressure helping protect the food and packaging through the sealing step.

Where it is used

Use it at a takeaway packing bench or a production-kitchen pass to seal filled trays before handover. The spring-assisted lid reduces effort through repeated opening and closing, while the film dispenser and tensioner help feed material evenly over each container. Once the seal is made, the retractable knife cuts the film and returns out of its cutting position, keeping the next pack moving through the station.

The titanium-coated work surface resists film sticking, making release between cycles more straightforward. A warm-up period of about 8–10 minutes can be scheduled before a packing run, and status LEDs provide a quick visual check as the operator prepares trays. Non-slip feet help keep the sealer steady on the worktop during operation.

Connection and installation

The 230 V supply suits a matching electrical connection in a UK kitchen. Its rated power gives the operator or facilities team a basis for assessing the machine’s electrical load when planning the packing station; it does not determine actual energy use during service.

The removable earthed cable can be detached when the unit needs to be moved or the worktop cleared. Its overall dimensions help allocate a place for the sealer beside the tray-filling area, so filled containers can move directly to sealing.

Care

The stainless-steel construction is corrosion resistant and straightforward to keep clean in a damp kitchen environment. The fitted aluminium matrix forms an undivided sealing format, while additional matrices allow the machine to work with other container types. Keeping the selected matrix matched to the container format supports consistent work at the packing station.

The non-stick surface helps film release cleanly after sealing, reducing material catching on the work area between cycles. The low-resistance movement provided by bearings and sliding material also makes the repeated mechanical action less demanding for the operator.

How to choose

Match the tray or cup format to the machine’s sealing capacity and the supplied undivided matrix. The overall size helps compare the sealer with available worktop space, while its relatively light weight makes repositioning between work areas more manageable.

Choose film rolls within the dispenser’s supported width and diameter, then use the temperature selector to set sealing heat for the film in use. This links the consumable choice to the sealing process, rather than relying on one fixed heat setting for every film.
