Build the tray packaging around the meat, the tray, the film and the packaging mode. Our Hybrid Pro T680 tray sealer lists fresh meat and runs MAP, VSP and seal-only packs on one machine.
Typical route: tray supply → product loading → T680 tray sealing → inspection → case packing
Six points that decide whether a fresh meat tray line runs well.
Meat juice and fat on the tray flange get between tray and film and cause weak or leaking seals.
What we do · Every packaging test checks seal quality and product on the flange.

Cuts that sit above the rim get caught in the seal. In VSP, product height and shape decide how well the skin film forms.
What we do · Product height is checked against your tray and packaging mode.
MAP results depend on the gas mix and on how much oxygen stays in the pack.
What we do · The T680 mixes O₂, CO₂ and N₂ with ±2% accuracy. The mix for your meat is set in testing.
AI sampling illustration; no measured result is shown.
Tray material, flange and lidding film have to seal together. Paper-based trays also depend on their coating.
What we do · Each tray is checked with your film and packaging mode before you order.
Each tray size and cavity layout needs its own tooling, and every change stops the line.
What we do · Tooling is made for your trays and changed in about 15–30 min.
Meat is loaded by hand or automatically. Either way, tray supply and loading can limit the line before the sealer does.
What we do · Tray supply and loading are planned with the sealer and checked in the test.
Tray supply, loading and sealing are planned together, then matched to the meat.
Empty trays to the line
By hand or automatic, as the project needs
MAP, VSP or seal-only
Checks and labels on the sealed tray
Trays into cases, cases onto pallets
Tray denesting, automatic loading and labeling are planned for each project.
Each module is chosen for the meat and the tray, then integrated into the line.
Lists fresh meat. MAP, VSP and seal-only on one machine, on plastic or paper-based trays. Up to 20 (MAP), 12 (VSP) or 25 (seal-only) cycles/min.*
Made for your tray and cavity layout. Standard tooling seals 4 trays per cycle, and a quick-change cart swaps tooling in about 15–30 min.
Checkweighing, metal detection, combined units, or X-ray where the application calls for it. The method is chosen once the product, tray and film are known.
Robotic case packing and palletizing, integrated around the sealed tray, the case pattern, the case rate and the pallet pattern.
*Machine maximum. Actual output depends on product, tray, film, gas mixture and tooling.
A fresh meat tray line runs at the pace of its slowest stage, so we check every stage instead of quoting the sealer's top speed.
Trays per cycle come from your tooling, so we do not multiply the 20 cycles/min maximum by four. We set the line target from tests and agreed FAT conditions.

Choose the mode first. MAP, VSP and seal-only all run on the T680.
Vacuum, then gas filling with an O₂ / CO₂ / N₂ mix. Residual O₂ below 0.5%.
Up to 20 cycles/min*Vacuum skin packaging: the top film is formed closely around the meat.
Up to 12 cycles/min*Lidding film sealed onto the tray without changing the atmosphere.
Up to 25 cycles/min**Machine maximum. Actual output depends on product, tray, film, gas mixture and tooling.
Fresh meat is one of the T680's listed applications, and one machine covers all three modes on plastic or paper-based trays. Detailed specifications are on the machine page.

The machine, industry, tray format and services behind this application.
Yes. Fresh meat is one of the T680's listed applications. The setup for your product is defined from the meat, tray, film and packaging mode.
MAP, VSP and seal-only, all on the T680. The tooling and settings change with the mode and the tray.
Up to 20 cycles/min in MAP, 12 in VSP and 25 in seal-only. These are machine maximums. Actual output depends on the product, tray, film and gas mix.
No. Four trays per cycle is the standard tooling. Your tray decides the cavity layout, and the sustainable output is confirmed in testing.
The T680 reference for MAP is residual O₂ below 0.5%. We measure it on your pack in the test.
The T680 mixes O₂, CO₂ and N₂ with ±2% accuracy. The right mix depends on your product and pack, and is set during testing.
No. Shelf life depends on the product, gas mix, tray, film and storage, so it has to be tested for your pack.
Yes, if the tray coating or sealing layer works with your film and packaging mode. We confirm each tray before you order.
Send the product, tray, film, packaging mode and required output. We will use them to define the T680 setup and the test plan.
