The Eclipse range of entry level automatic machines offer a cost effective medium capacity option to those with a requirement to cut labour costs through the automation of a packing line. Designed for frequent product changeovers, flexibility is offered with tool changes in minutes and recipe driven set up. Some machines within this range are fully electric and incorporate POWERDRIVE technology, therefore eliminating the requirement for a compressed air supply. Modified atmosphere (MAP-F and MAP-V) as well as SkinPAC are options on these machines.

Eclipse SL4

SPIN IMAGE TO VIEW 3D

The Eclipse SL4 is a fully electric automatic tray sealer combining medium speed output with quick tool changes and a compact space saving design. Incorporating POWERDRIVE technology, there is no requirement for a compressed air supply. It can be used to seal reel fed film to pre-formed trays and can be configured to use MAP-F gas flushing, full MAP-V vacuum and SkinPAC for extended shelf life. Dependant on the tray size it can seal up to 5 packs at a time giving a maximum output of 75 packs per minute. Electric supply only is required for this machine.
