The Henkelman Vortex is a used tray sealer — sometimes referred to as a tray sealing machine or packaging sealer — designed to seal pre-formed trays across a range of food products. Tray sealers of this type are widely used in food production to create secure, hygienic packages, and can operate under standard sealing conditions or in modified atmosphere packaging environments to extend product shelf life. Henkelman is a well-established Dutch manufacturer specialising in vacuum and packaging machinery, serving the food processing and food production industries.
This semi-automatic machine supports sealing, vacuum packaging, and MAP packaging (gas flushing), making it well suited to small and medium-sized food producers who require versatility without a large capital investment. The mould format fitted is a dual-cavity configuration (2.1), with cavity dimensions of 187 mm × 137 mm, and the machine accepts film up to a maximum width of 420 mm. Moulds can be changed quickly thanks to the machine's dedicated quick-change system, allowing flexible use across different tray formats.
The Vortex is powered by a Busch vacuum pump rated at 21 m³/h, which supports a fast packaging cycle with a production capacity of up to 10 strokes per minute. A fully automatic sensor manages both the vacuum level and gas supply, ensuring the correct atmosphere is achieved within each package. The machine is built entirely from stainless steel, making it straightforward to clean and appropriate for food-contact environments.
Electrically, the machine runs on 400 V (3+N, 50 Hz) with a power consumption of 4 kW. It requires a compressed air supply of 6–8 bar and a gas connection of 2–3.5 bar for MAP operations. The machine weighs 245 kg and has overall dimensions of 610 mm wide × 950 mm deep × 1,500 mm high. It was manufactured in 2008 and is offered in used condition from a seller located in the Netherlands.
