The eclipse range of tray sealers has been developed to set new standards for reliability, ruggedness and return on investment in almost any food manufacturing environment in the meat and poultry sector. PA has eclipse lines installed at a number of poultry packing sites where levels of below 0.5% residual of oxygen are being achieved without the added aid of a costly full vacuum system.

The automatic eclipse SL4 which seals up to 75 packs per minute incorporates PA’s E-Seal technology which requires zero compressed air for full operation. The technology drives all machine operations through small servomechanisms, giving massive savings when compared to a pneumatic system resulting in significant annual savings and a sizeable reduction in carbon footprint. For higher throughputs the twin lane eclipse TL6 offers up to 200 packs per minute.

All eclipse tooling has been designed to be cheaper, light weight and quick release with water proof heater mats to cope with the hygiene of meat and poultry factories. All eclipse machines incorporate the Eco-Cut option and are capable of running film as thin as 17 micron giving a film usage reduction of 20%, while the instant response and accurate synchronisation of the servo-driven film feed system leads to fewer film breakages caused by air pressure variations.
