Lamister Tray Filling and Sealing Machines
Lamister Tray Filling and Sealing Machines
SIGITASPAK supplies lamister tray filling and sealing machines for pâté, pet food, preserves, sauces, cream cheese, ready meals, meat products, fish products and portioned food products.
Lamister trays are ready-made aluminium foil trays with a laminated or heat-sealable layer. This packaging format can be round, oval, square or rectangular and is used when the manufacturer needs a rigid or semi-rigid tray with accurate dosing and reliable foil sealing.
The equipment is selected according to tray shape, tray depth, flange width, product viscosity, filling volume, soft inclusions, sealing material, sanitary level, target capacity and integration with date coding, inspection, conveyors and downstream packaging equipment.
Lamister tray filling: what production tasks the equipment solves
Lamister tray filling and sealing machines are used when a ready-made aluminium tray must be automatically fed, filled and hermetically sealed with foil or another heat-sealable lidding material. The machine can dose the product, place the sealing material, seal the tray, print the date and discharge finished packs to the next production stage.
This format is suitable for homogeneous pastes, pâtés, meat products, fish products, wet pet food, sauces, cream cheese, products with soft inclusions, ready meals and portioned components. For each project, the dosing system, tray handling system and sealing configuration must be matched with real samples.
- Lamister tray filling machines dose liquid, pasty and multicomponent products into ready-made aluminium trays.
- Foil sealing equipment provides hermetic closure along the tray flange.
- Rotary PASTPACK machines are suitable for compact layouts and stable tray formats.
- Linear PASTPACK machines are suitable for higher output, multi-row filling and extended sanitary configurations.
- Complete filling lines can include tray feeding, dosing, sealing, date coding, inspection and downstream packaging.
Products packed into lamister trays
Lamister trays are used for compact portion packaging where product protection, stable shelf presentation and reliable sealing are important. The format is common for food products, pet food and ready-to-eat portions.
Pâté and meat products
Liver pâté, meat pâté, spreads, minced products, meat snacks and products with a homogeneous or pasty structure.
Pet food
Wet food for cats and dogs, pet food pâté, chunks in sauce, soft inclusions, portion rations and premium pet food lines.
Fish products and preserves
Fish pâté, fish preserves, fish snacks, products in sauce, oil or marinade, and delicate products packed into portion trays.
Sauces and spreads
Tomato sauces, cream sauces, cheese sauces, vegetable pastes, cream cheese, spreads, hummus and gastronomic pastes.
Ready meals
Portion meals, side dishes, meat and fish dishes, HoReCa products, ready-to-heat food and meal components.
Baby and diet food
Purees, soft pasty products, portion blends and products where accurate dosing, hygiene and hermetic sealing are important.
Lamister tray formats
Lamister trays can differ by shape, depth, volume, flange width and lidding material. The tray must be stable during feeding, accurately positioned in the carrier or rotary pocket, resistant to deformation during dosing and suitable for uniform sealing along the full perimeter.
Round and oval trays
Often used for pâté, creams, pet food, spreads, portion products and ready-made snacks. They require accurate positioning of the flange before sealing.
Square and rectangular trays
Suitable for pet food, ready meals, preserves, meat and fish products. It is important to check tray corners, rigidity and sealing uniformity.
Linear PASTPACK machines for lamister trays
Linear PASTPACK machines are selected when the manufacturer needs high output, stable dosing and a sequential layout of operations. Trays move along the line while the functional units are arranged in sequence: tray feeding, dosing, foil placing, sealing, date coding and finished pack discharge.
Rotary PASTPACK machines for lamister trays
Rotary PASTPACK machines are selected for compact production areas and stable tray formats. The tray passes through rotary positions for loading, dosing, foil placing, sealing, date coding and finished pack discharge.
How to select a lamister tray filling machine
Equipment selection starts with real tray samples, sealing material and product samples. The main technical parameters are tray shape, tray depth, flange width, tray rigidity, product viscosity, filling temperature, soft inclusions and required output.
| Parameter | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Tray shape | Round, oval, square or rectangular format. | The shape defines the pocket, carrier, feeding system and sealing contour. |
| Flange | Width, flatness and mechanical strength of the sealing area. | The flange must provide uniform hermetic sealing along the entire perimeter. |
| Product | Viscosity, temperature, inclusions, structure and foaming behaviour. | The product determines the filler, nozzle and dosing mode. |
| Lidding material | Foil, film or combined heat-sealable material. | The sealing material must be compatible with the tray and sealing temperature. |
| Capacity | Required packs per minute or per hour. | The required output defines whether a rotary or linear PASTPACK machine is more suitable. |
| Sanitary level | Cleaning, protected filling area and product-contact materials. | Important for pâté, pet food, baby food, dairy products and sensitive recipes. |
Linear or rotary machine: what to choose
Linear PASTPACK 4L, 6L and 8L machines are suitable for higher output, multi-row filling and integration into automated production lines. Rotary PASTPACK R, R2 WITH TWO ROWS and 2R2 WITH TWO ROWS machines are suitable for compact layouts and repeatable production with stable tray formats.
| Criterion | Linear PASTPACK 4L / 6L / 8L | Rotary PASTPACK R / R2 / 2R2 |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | Sequential linear layout with several tray rows. | Rotary table with sequential processing positions. |
| Output | Suitable for high-output production and scalable filling areas. | Suitable for compact automatic filling and sealing tasks. |
| Packaging | Convenient for trays that move stably in carriers. | Convenient for trays that are stable in rotary pockets. |
| Products | Pâté, pet food, sauces, preserves, ready meals and products with inclusions. | Pâté, sauces, pet food, dairy and gastronomic products in stable tray formats. |
| Best choice when | You need speed, several rows and line integration. | You need a compact machine with repeatable filling and sealing cycles. |
