Proseal’s training capabilities to seal operator ‘knowledge gap’

  • Publicado el 21 de Diciembre de 2021

Tray sealing specialist Proseal says a renewed emphasis on training is critical to avoid a ‘knowledge gap’ among machine operators caused by the pandemic. Proseal offers customers both on-site training and a variety of courses at its dedicated Training Centre at its UK headquarters in Cheshire.

Proseal’s training capabilities to seal operator ‘knowledge gap’

While social distancing rules and a reduction in site visits have inevitably impacted on numbers over the past 20 months, the company says it is vital that businesses focus their attention again on in-depth training as a critical part of maintaining the throughput and efficiency of their operations.

“For nearly two years, it’s been hard for customers to send operators on courses, or even to invite training onto their premises. And while there’s always a place for remote learning, when it comes to effective tray seal usage and maintenance, there’s no substitute for hands-on practical training,” says Andy Gray, Training Manager at Proseal.

“For our customers in the food and other sectors, any gaps in operator or engineer knowledge can have a big impact.” Proseal says the benefits of a comprehensive training programme include reduced downtime and product wastage, and greater performance and reliability of the Proseal equipment, which can lead to increased productivity. A fuller understanding of the seal sealing process, in particular how product contamination affects seal quality, gives trainees confidence in running machines and accurately diagnosing faults. This also leads to less reliance on Proseal support, something which in itself was of particular benefit during the pandemic.

“A well-trained operator makes all the difference,” confirms Andy Gray. “When they know the machine inside out, they can run it reliably, maintain it well and diagnose any issues that arise quickly and effectively. “In the long term, that means greater efficiency on the production line.”

Equally important, he points out, investment in training can improve employee satisfaction and morale, making them feel valued. This can help to reduce staff turnover, a valuable benefit during current worker shortages.
