The YT-280C is a semi-automatic (manual sealing) tray sealing machine designed to seal food trays and containers to preserve freshness and safety. It is intended for small food businesses, catering, and similar applications.
The machine is semi-automatic with manual sealing operation: the operator loads the tray and initiates the sealing action, giving precise control over each seal.
Maximum single tray dimensions are 18 x 12 cm (or circular trays up to 12 cm diameter). Maximum film width supported is 245 mm.
The machine supports a variety of sealing films and lidding materials including PP, PE, PET, PS and aluminum foil.
Voltage options are 110V or 220V at 50Hz and the machine's rated power is 1200W.
Machine dimensions are 900 x 280 x 350 mm. Single package size is 82 x 42 x 40 cm and single gross weight is 35.000 kg.
Common applications include lunch box meal trays, beverages (sealed cups), sauces, creams and other food items that require hygienic sealing. It is well suited to small food businesses and catering services.
Basic operation: place the filled tray in the machine nest, position the film/lid, lower or engage the sealing mechanism (as per model controls), allow the sealing cycle to complete, then remove the sealed tray. Refer to the user manual for detailed step-by-step instructions and settings.
Regular maintenance includes wiping food contact surfaces after use, keeping the sealing area free of residue, checking and replacing worn sealing elements, inspecting electrical connections, and following any lubrication and maintenance schedule in the manual. Always disconnect power before servicing.
Common issues: weak or incomplete seals (check temperature, sealing time, and pad condition), film wrinkling (adjust film tension and alignment), film tearing (use compatible film or reduce tension), and machine not heating (verify power and fuses). If problems persist, contact support.
Online support is provided for users. For hands-on training or advanced troubleshooting, contact the seller or authorized service partner listed with your purchase.
Throughput depends on operator speed, tray loading/unloading time and seal cycle settings. As a semi-automatic unit, it is optimized for small to medium batch runs rather than high-volume automated production.
The machine can seal a wide range of food products when using compatible sealing films. For very hot fills or highly acidic products, test your specific tray and film combination to ensure seal integrity and food safety, and follow recommended cooling/handling procedures.
General precautions: keep hands clear of the sealing area during operation, avoid touching heating elements, disconnect power before maintenance, use appropriate PPE if handling hot products, and follow all instructions and safety warnings in the user manual.
