a supplier to Southern Salads for a number of years when it originally bought a Vision 4000 machine.The SL6 is a high throughput machine capable of sealing up to 100 packs per minute and has provided Southern Salads with cost and environmental benefits combined with greater efficiency, minimum downtime and a consistent seal on all packs.
For flexibility and long term value the eclipse SL6 can be easily converted to a twin lane machine to give speeds of up to 200 packs per minute.
To save on critical downtime, tool changeovers on the eclipse tray sealers can be done manually in two minutes as a result of an inbuilt tool loading system.
Daniel Birmingham, operations director at Southern Salads, said: “I have worked with PA for many years and always found them to be proactive and supportive, the SL6 machine was chosen to increase productivity, seal integrity and reduce engineering costs, it has achieved all the objectives set out at the beginning of the project.”
