We can customize the line for:
- Different tray sizes and compartment designs
- Vacuum bags, premade pouches, thermoforming packs or tin cans
- Sticky, oily, wet, sauced or mixed food products
- Different filling weights and production speeds
- Semi-automatic or fully automatic layouts
- Inspection and end-of-line automation needs
Key advantage:
Smart Weigh designs the machine around your package sample, so the weighing, filling, sealing and downstream automation can work smoothly as one complete line.
Not only auto sealing, but also auto weighing and filling!
A ready meal packaging line is an integrated system used to portion, fill and seal prepared food into trays or bags. For cooked meals, the key challenge is not only sealing the tray, but also filling different food components accurately and cleanly. Smart Weigh combines multihead weighing, customized feeding, tray filling, tray sealing, inspection and end-of-line automation into one complete system.

How to Choose the Right Ready Meal Packaging System?
1
What type of ready meal are you packing?
Free-flowing food like rice, pasta and vegetable cubes is easier to weigh and fill. Sticky or oily cooked food may require customized belt feeding, scraper design or special contact parts.
2
How many components are in one meal?
A single-component meal can use a simpler weighing and filling system. For meals with rice, meat, vegetables and sauce, the line needs a multi-station filling layout.
3
What is your required capacity?
If your target is 1500–2000 trays/hour, a standard automatic tray filling and sealing line is suitable. For higher capacity, the line layout can be customized with multiple weighing units or parallel sealing systems.
4
What packaging format do you use?
Tray sealing, vacuum tray sealing, vacuum bag packing and thermoforming packaging require different machine configurations.
5
Do you need inspection or end-of-line automation?
For supermarket, airline meal, central kitchen and export food production, checkweigher, metal detector, labeler, cartoning and palletizing can be added.
