Description
The STvega Tray Sleeve Applicator L50 is designed for quick and accurate wrapping of food trays in cardboard cuffs. This equipment is ideal for enterprises that produce ready meals, frozen products, meat and fish products, confectionery products and other products in consumer packaging. The machine can be used both separately for wrapping trays with cardboard shells, and as part of automated production lines, integrating with traysealers and thermoformers.
Principle of operation:
The food trays are fed into the packaging area, where the gripper system automatically installs a cardboard shell on them. Thanks to continuous operation, the machine provides a stable speed of up to 50 packs per minute. Optical and electrical synchronization ensures precise positioning of the cardboard relative to the tray, and the servo drive guarantees smooth movement and stability of the process. After wrapping, the finished trays are carefully removed to the discharge area, which has an open design for the convenience of the operator.
Equipment advantages:
- The machine provides a high packing speed of up to 50 trays per minute, which greatly increases production productivity.
- The design provides for an open unloading area, which facilitates access for the operator and increases work safety.
- The machine can be easily reconfigured to fit different sizes and shapes of trays and pallets, making it versatile for packaging different types of products
- The machine works with cardboard of different weights, which allows you to choose a material depending on the type of product and brand requirements.
- The design is easily integrated into existing production lines, allowing for a fully automated packaging process.
- The use of high-quality components and sturdy construction ensures durability and reliable operation even in difficult production conditions.

Why buy STvega Tray Sleeve Applicator L50 from STvega
The key story here is not only in automation, but in how your product looks after packaging.
Speed and stability
Up to 50 trays per minute. This is already the level of serial production without “manual bottlenecks”.
Accurate and accurate shell feeding
The cardboard sits evenly on the tray without distortions and defects. This is important for appearance.
Flexibility for different formats
It is possible to work with different tray sizes and packaging types without complex reconfiguration.
In-line integration
It is easily embedded after the traysealer or before labeling. There is no need to rebuild production from scratch.
Process control
Sensors monitor the position of the tray, the presence of a shell and the correctness of the operation. Fewer defects and stops.
Saving on personnel
One machine replaces manual packaging and stabilizes the process.
Improving the appearance of the product
And this is really important. The same product in a simple tray and in a tray with a shell is sold differently.
Support and launch
They help not only to install the machine, but to correctly fit it into the packaging process.
