Abstract (en)
The tray sealing machine (1) comprises a sealing station (2) for sealing trays (3) with a cover film (4), and a conveyor system (14) for conveying the trays along a conveying path (13). The conveying system comprises multiple pushers (21), which are configured for carrying the tray and is moved along an endless pusher path (15). The pushers are movable independently of one another along the pusher path. Each pusher is movable along the pusher path with an individual speed profile. The pusher path has a conveying section (16) assigned to the conveying path and a return section (17). The pushers are movable on the return section at a higher speed than on the conveying section. An independent claim is included for a method for conveying trays by a conveyor system up to, into or from a tray sealing machine sealing the trays with a cover film.
