With British Summertime just weeks away, snack, sandwich and deli pack heat sealing specialist Soken Engineering will reveal at FoodEx 2023 (Stand P199) how food producers can rapidly switch between winter comfort foods and al-fresco picnic favourites in the most sustainable way. From sandwich wedges to pasta salads, wraps to quiche slices, deli platters to sushi rolls, visitors to the Soken stand will see a selection of UK-made machines which will offer them huge production flexibility.
Subsidiary of machinery design and packaging specialist Jenton International, Soken Engineering designs and manufactures an extensive range of pack heat sealing machines for sandwich and salad packs and meal trays. These range from compact table top units to linear machines capable of sealing thousands of packs per hour, with tooling flexibility to ensure food producers are never again tied to one product range or packaging type, including the latest plastic free and recyclable materials.
At FoodEx 2023, find out how the versatile and reliable HS Soken range has evolved, with new improved temperature control and stability and quick tool change, providing total packaging freedom. Because they are ‘locally sourced’ in Hampshire, Soken can design and deliver new tooling plates to cater for product ranges far faster than if sourced from abroad. Several of the machines offer convenient storage compartments, enabling users to switch tools in a matter of seconds.
The company offers design assistance for custom products in addition to an extensive range of standard-sized in-stock food packaging tooling options. A wide selection of demonstration machines are available to view and test at Soken’s base in Whitchurch.
“Soken machines are built to last. They are great robust machines that will do the job you want,” commented Sohel Patel from Halal Kitchen.
Even if the promise of a late Indian Summer doesn’t materialise, with such a flexible machine in the kitchen, switching back to packing hearty winter sandwich wedges and microwavable meals is just as easy.
“Caterers of all sizes, including contractors, cafes, garden centres, healthcare and workplace canteens, now only need to invest in a single system to improve pack presentation, hygiene and preserve foods by up-to three days,” reaffirms Soken’s sales manager Stephen Hawes. Putting an end to preventable food waste and subsequent lost profits.
For added convenience, Soken also sources and supplies an extensive range of standard and bespoke packaging consumables, including eco-friendly sandwich packs, ready meal trays, lidding film, and salad boxes.
