Shrink Wrapping Machines
Shrink wrappers use film to tightly wrap and cover an object. Shrink wrapping is the process of wrapping a thin plastic film (clear, colored, or printed) over a range of products like CDs, videotapes, food produce, literature, equipment parts, etc.
Shrink wrappers are available in automatic, semi-automatic, and manual models. The fully automatic shrink wrappers are suitable for large production needs. They wrap at speeds ranging from approximately 25 to 300 items per minute. Semi-automatic models are also known as L-sealers, and seal about 15 items per minute. They are perfect for medium volume requirements.
One Step Shrink Wrapper Operation: One Step shrink wrappers are easy to use. The operator places the product on the package loading tray between the two layers of centerfold film. The operator then moves the package into the sealing area and lowers the hood. Once the hood is lowered the operator applies pressure to make the seal. Once the seal is made, the operator keeps the hood down until the film has shrunk. When the shrink time is completed, the hood is returned to the up position and the operator may remove the completed package. The process takes 7- 12 seconds for the complete process, depending on the machine selected.
