Save space, cut energy, stay productive – meet the QX-500.
In today’s competitive food production landscape, operational efficiency is more than just a nice-to-have — it’s a necessity. Whether you’re managing a fast-paced factory or looking to optimise existing lines, every inch of floor space, every kilowatt of power, and every second of production time counts.
That’s where the Ishida QX-500 Tray Sealer comes in. Designed with flexibility, sustainability, and productivity in mind, the QX-500 is a next-generation tray sealing machine that delivers practical improvements across your production line — without requiring a complete overhaul of your setup.
Why choose the QX-500?
The QX-500 is ideal for manufacturers who want to modernise their packaging process without complicating operations or sacrificing valuable space. Its compact footprint allows it to fit easily into existing production lines, even in environments where space is at a premium. At the same time, it offers powerful performance, sealing up to 25 cycles per minute depending on the application type.
One of the standout benefits of the QX-500 is its energy efficiency. Compared to previous tray sealing models, the QX-500 consumes up to 50% less energy. This not only reduces your carbon footprint but also provides significant long-term cost savings — a major advantage in a market where energy prices remain volatile.
In fact, efficiency is at the heart of the QX-500’s design. The machine delivers a 66% increase in cycle efficiency, meaning more output with less input. From labour and utility costs to line downtime and material waste, every area sees improvement. The tool-change system is quick and simple, helping operators swap out formats with minimal disruption — ideal for businesses managing a wide range of products or SKUs.

Versatility that fits your needs
Whether you’re packaging poultry, ready meals, fresh produce, dairy, or plant-based foods, the QX-500 adapts with ease.

Gentle tray handling ensures product integrity, reducing damage and maintaining presentation standards. This is especially important in industries where consumer trust hinges on quality and visual appeal.
Compact but powerful
With the QX-500, you’re not just getting a smaller machine — you’re getting smarter design. The streamlined build allows for more flexibility in factory layouts, while still incorporating robust features such as Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP: Gas Flush, Vacuum Gas) applications. The result? Extended shelf life, reduced food waste, and an enhanced end-user experience.
