About second-hand Top seal packaging machines

Many fresh products, such as tomatoes, kiwis, strawberries, mushrooms, and various herbs, are packaged in plastic trays. To seal these packages, a top seal machine is used. Given the wide range of vegetables and fruits sold in such trays, top seal machines are highly popular in the packaging industry.

Purchasing a top seal packaging machine can be a costly affair. Due to the high initial investment, entrepreneurs may delay the purchase, which is a missed opportunity since a packaged product often generates more revenue! Do you want to sell your product packaged but find the investment in a new top seal machine too high? Used top seal packaging machines offer the solution! They cost significantly less than new ones and, if carefully selected, can last for many years!

How does a tray sealing machine work? 

As mentioned, top seal machines, or tray sealing machines, are used to apply a plastic layer to the tray. The operation of a tray sealing machine is quite simple. Using heat, the machine seals a layer of film onto the tray, so once it cools down, they are bonded together.

There are manual tray sealing machines, where trays must be manually placed one by one under the machine. These are very suitable for small-scale businesses. Additionally, there are automatic top seal machines, where trays are automatically fed and removed via a conveyor belt.

What are top seal machines used for? 

Top seal machines are primarily used for packaging fresh and unprocessed vegetables and fruits. Strawberries, kiwis, cherries, grapes, as well as tomatoes, carrots, and asparagus, are often sold in these trays.

To seal the trays, they are not only sealed but also often packed in nets. Do you want to package your products in this way? Then a net packaging machine is what you're looking for.

Used Top Seal Machines

 Many entrepreneurs choose used top seal machines because they are significantly cheaper than new ones. However, it's essential to understand the condition and history of the machine, especially when dealing with complete packaging lines, as these are complex machines.

At Duijndam Machines, we take this into account. Before purchasing a tray sealer, it must first pass our strict acquisition policy. We don't just look at the current condition of the top seal machine but also at its maintenance history to ensure that the new owner can use the machine for many years. After all, this is our business philosophy!

Of course, you are welcome to come and view all the top seal machines available from our stock to get a better impression of the machine. Is the distance to our company too far? We can also provide a good overview of the specific top seal machine through additional photos and/or a video call.

Top Seal Packaging Line 

In addition to purchasing a single top seal machine, you can also choose to set up an entire packaging line. This could include adding a denester that unstacks the trays and, for example, a check weigher that weighs the package before it is sealed, ensuring you don't pack too much or too little per tray.

Packaging lines can be fully customized. Do you want to turn your top seal machine into a packaging line but don't know where to start? Contact us, and one of our specialists will help you assess the compatibility of the machines.
