The Application:
Lap Sealing Trays of Bakery.
The Challenge:
The Product: These trays of Apple Fritters are served at one of the largest restaurant chains in the world. However they are baked in a commercial setting many miles from where they’ll be consumed. The wrap is their layer of protection from bakery to restaurant. The packaging better be secure and dependable.
Speeds and Dependability: Did we mention this bakery supplies one of the biggest restaurant chains in the world? They run 24/7 with very little downtime. It also means that once the Fritters are finished baking and ready for packaging, the machinery better be ready for production because the line never stops.
Lap Sealing: The Servoflex 200 is a Lap Seal Shrink Wrapper. This means that Conflex designed a forming plow sized to the exact specifications of the carrier tray. There is a specific amount of film applied to every tray at an extremely tight fit with zero scrap! Other competitive machines utilize side sealers that require 20% more film and create scrap that drastically increases the cost per package and environmental footprint.
