Starview RTS/MAP4-1015 Rotary Tray Sealer

Protect Your Food Products with Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

Starviews RTS/MAP4-1015 rotary tray sealing machines are designed and competitively priced for fresh counter packaging, typically a clear or printed film to a preformed tray for food manufacturing companies, catering, grocery stores, etc. The RTS/MAP Series provides a modified atmosphere in the package prior to sealing.

The RTS/MAP machines are ideal for medium to high production.

Starview RTS tray sealers can adapt to seal for a wide range of product tray sizes by simply changing the tooling. These machines trim the film to the profile of the tray and automatically rewind the scrap web.

The RTS/MAP Series sealers will provide years of dependable performance with a minimum of maintenance.
