Shrink wrapping machines are most flexible
What is believed to be the most flexible and efficient shrink wrapping machine to enter Europe will be shown at Ipex along with a semi-automatic shrink wrapper and other packaging machines.
Case packing lines increase production by 40%
Eight case packing lines have increased production by up to 40% and reduced operating staff by 25% at a wallpaper factory and the payback period may be as little as two years.
Wrapping machine can be changed in three minutes
Wrapping machine wrapper redefines traditional shrink packaging equipment having features like its plug-and-play in-feed modules, which can be changed over in as little as three minutes.
The high level of flexibility offered makes the Omni form-fill and seal wrappers suitable for a wide range of applications including ready-meal manufacturers, contract packers, cosmetic and toiletry producers - in fact almost any user needing quick product changeover.
At the core of the machine is servo motion-control technology, which instantly recognises when a new in-feeder has been attached.
The new multi language large display screen allows operators to set-up the machine with the minimum of product knowledge.
Users are prompted for the height and width after which the machine calculates the spacing and type of packaging film required.
Additional user information can also be stored in the 100-programme memory, including the location in the stores of suitable film and products.
Problems can also be traced via the interactive screen, which has a fault-finding facility and displays packaging errors on the screen.
The two-model range comprises the Omni G, a traditional drive based machine for a broad range of applications and operates at 80 cycles per minute.
Standard jaw opening of the Omni G is 8 inches and has the option to go up to 10 inches. Request a free brochure from Sealed Air ...
