The impressive Vision 400 is a compact, high-speed automatic tray sealer which is capable of atmospheric and modified atmosphere packaging.
It can seal and trim film from a reel onto trays of various materials including, but not limited to, CPET, polypropylene, PVC, board and foil.
It will be shown alongside the hugely popular PA182 semiautomatic hand turned rotary table tray sealer which is used extensively through the UK, and is finding success with Australian companies such as the OneHarvest group, and Matilda Fresh Foods.
Recently it has been selected by Eco Smart Technologies in New South Wales to help launch an innovative interlocking combination platter.
The success of the PA182 has been attributed to its simplicity, ease of use, portability and two-minute tool changes.
MPI's sales director Peter Matthews said: "Since taking over the PA tray sealing machines we have been very pleased with the high level of support that PA gives MPI.
This level of service has been of great benefit to the Australian customers now using PA equipment".
"With fast turn around of tooling, customers are able to react very quickly to the demands of the Australian market".
"The new Vision 400 has created a great deal of interest with its clean lines and solid performance which are all contributing to its success." Packaging Automation sales manager Neil Ashton said: "Our relationship with MPI is going very well, and there is continued and growing interest in tray sealing as the Australian market follows the global trend towards convenience packaging, enhanced presentation and longer shelf life".
"We expect high levels of interest in both machines at AUSPACK.".
