Proseal ProTest seal quality testing system

Proseal’s ProTest seal quality testing system enables food manufacturers and processors to determine the suitable seal and peel strength for individual products. It combines protection of the contents with the right level of ‘peelability’.

The compact and easy-to-use unit is an automated lid-peeling device that measures and reports the resistance offered by the film as it separates from the tray during the moment of lid peeling. This provides the user with the relevant data to determine if the seal strength is the most user-friendly while remaining suitable for the product’s life cycle.

It is capable of retaining, displaying and outputting test data, allowing the user to export the information. Up to five test results can be compared at any one time. The unit is flexible enough to handle the vast majority of trays currently used in the market with diagonal diameters from 25 up to 380 mm in any shape.

Reports are generated on the machine’s 12″ high-definition touchscreen and can be exported via Ethernet or USB device. This provides users with traceability records and the information to monitor peel strengths throughout production.

The unit requires 1200 x 400 mm of bench space and a 3-pin 230 V power supply, offering in-house seal integrity analysis without the need for costly, off-site third-party testing.
