Poly bags to oust traditional paper pacjaging
Bag machine builder has launched several variants of its side and bottom weld servo-driven poly bag machines to widen the opportunities for poly bags in flexible packaging.
The machine takes advantage of modern control pneumatics and control systems to move away from the mechanical and cam driven machines of the past.
As a result it is smaller, lighter, cheaper, and simple to use and yet can wrap DVDs, CDs, perfumery and cosmetic packs at 60 packs/min.
No three phase is required - just a 13A plug and air supply.
No fork truck is required to move the machine - it's on wheels.
"Up until now, one of the big ongoing costs of overwrapping machines has been the cost of change parts," explained Richard Little, director of Jenton, "Each pack required custom fording parts which were expensive and took a while to make." He said: "The 'Filmstar' machine has simple adjustments so that the folding parts can be altered in a few seconds between different pack sizes.
This is a real development." Print registration and tear tape are options and DMA offer a very cost effective stacker at the outfield.
