Why the VT-400 Makes a Difference
In competitive food-packaging markets where shelf life, presentation and speed all matter, the VT-400 elevates your packaging game. By combining reliable MAP capability with precision film and tray handling, it helps you achieve longer shelf life, fewer film waste issues, and consistent aesthetic results. For operations upgrading from basic tray sealing or manual processes, the VT-400 provides a smart balance of automation, flexibility and cost-control.
Ideal For
- Meat processors, poultry or seafood packagers requiring modified-atmosphere sealing for trays.
 - Prepared-meal, deli or fresh-cut-produce operations needing strong shelf-life and clean presentation.
 - Facilities shifting away from manual tray sealing toward a semi‐automated, higher-throughput environment.
 - Producers who want versatility to handle multiple tray formats and film types with one machine.
