Food tray MAP and skin acceptance

Define exact tray-machine configurations, representative pack trials and accepted output.

Freeze the offered configuration

Record the exact model suffix, closing mode, tray/film pair, tooling, pocket count and loading arrangement. Distinguish standard features from options. Confirm each specification against the offered drawing and equipment schedule rather than transferring figures between related models.

Define food and pack trials

Use representative portions, fill levels and seal-margin conditions. Agree checks for seal integrity, leaks, tray deformation, opening and food presentation. Define any relevant gas or vacuum observations and measurement responsibilities with the project team.

Measure accepted output and changeover

Separate cycles per minute, trays per cycle and accepted trays per hour. Include rejects, loading/removal, film changes, mold changes and cleaning in the run record. Keep the offered vacuum-pump and packaging-mode conditions attached to catalogue rates.

Agree downstream and service interfaces

Confirm loaded-tray stability, conveying, available utilities and maintenance access. Define receiving storage and distribution conditions separately. Equipment catalogue claims do not replace pack trials or the food team’s validation work.

Follow the relevant model and process
