SOKEN Engineering, a recently acquired subsidiary of Jenton International, has revealed plans to launch an all-inclusive range of heat sealing packing systems for ‘on the go’ food businesses at PPMA Total Show 2022.
The firm will be showcasing 3-in-1 heat sealing systems which seals packs of sandwiches, wraps and salads with only the need for a tool change. Soken said artisan businesses will only need to invest in a single system to improve pack presentation, hygiene and preserve lunchtime foods by ‘up to three days’.
The 3-in-1 range includes level 1 machines, described as ‘ideal’ for small cafes which want to seal a single pack at a time, level 2 machines – which seal up to four packs at the same time, as well as level 3 intermediate automated systems – which can output up to 48 packs per minute.
All Soken equipment is manufactured in the UK and backed by a two-year return-to-base warranty. The firm can also supply consumables such as sandwich packs, ready meal trays with lidding film and salad boxes. Plans are in the pipeline to develop packaging options which are plastic-free.
Stephen Hawes, Soken Engineering sales manager, said, “If sandwich boxes and salad packs are not sealed properly the shelf life of the food is compromised leading to waste and reduced profits. Our versatile easy to operate 3-in-1 ‘fresher for longer’ packaging systems give catering outlets the ability to sell a wide range of foods in tamper evident heat sealed packaging which extends shelf-life considerably. As a business we are always striving towards net zero so helping reduce food waste is a key priority.”
