With more people eating at home, food manufacturers are concentrating on satisfying increased demand while keeping costs down. To help them achieve this, G Mondini has developed a range of multi-lane tray sealers called EVO X-Series.

These tray sealers increase output by maximising utilisation of the sealing tool.
G. Mondini developed the range in response to manufacturers' increasing demands for greater line capacity and efficiency. After five years of research and development, the result is the EVO X-Series; a high speed multi-lane tray sealer which, depending on package size, produces up to 400 packs per minute.

An EVO X-Series implemented in the US on a four-lane packaging line for sliced cheese achieves up to 160 trays per minute. Servo technology enables this particular EVO to produce modified atmosphere packaging at a faster rate.

The system can operate alone or in tandem with high-speed robots, fillers, snap-on lid machines and end of line packaging equipment like case packers, sleeving machines and cartoning machines.

The EVO range is designed to be as adaptable as possible. It's sleek exterior incorporates quick changeovers and hygienic wash down facilities as well as an economy of total floor space.

With flexible sealing capabilities, the EVO can accommodate packaging formats including blow moulded, enclosed inserts, shallow packs, breakaway, rigid dome lids, skin, double decker and MAP. The EVO is also compatible with industry formats currently under development.

The overall result is impressive; G. Mondini has created a unique system which offers high capacity, turn key production lines to customers, backed by a comprehensive industry support service.
