Features

A high-capacity magazine to ensure autonomy.

An ergonomic design for easy and quick reel connections

This high-capacity unwind unit can handle high sleeving speeds and is designed to accommodate new generation films. Located outside the machine, it offers easy access to the reels, which are positioned at hand level; the splicing table allows for quick and error-free splicing. The overall system provides autonomy and ergonomics, for operator comfort.

Energy consumption tailored to each format.

Energy management to reduce the carbon footprint of your products.

This exclusive shrink technology combines several systems: the expansion chamber, the height-adjustable tunnel and the steam diffusion system are adjusted to each product to optimize energy consumption.

Innovative technology to enhance the recyclability of your PE-PP packaging

An innovative technology for the recyclability of your PET bottles

A machine designed to decorate soft drink and liquid food PET bottles of all sizes, from 100ml to 2L, even the most sophisticated shapes. This machine allows for the use of LDPET® product, a shrink-sleeve compatible with the closed-loop PET recycling process (bottle-to-bottle).

Modules designed for high speeds in the liquid food industry.

Modularity at the service of performance

To work at high speed in wet conditions, this machine is equipped with modules to guarantee the performance and quality of your products: a drying module at the inlet to facilitate shrink-sleeve application, an orientation system for complex shapes, and a control and ejection system.

Options

Multi-reel shrink-sleeve unwinder unit with automatic splicing

Increase your autonomy for greater productivity

The 6-reel automatic sleeve unwinder unit increases production time with no operator intervention. This time gives you the freedom of action to carry out other tasks and improve productivity.

Camera vision module for detection and product orientation using belts

The assurance of a well-positioned shrink-sleeve label on shaped bottles

A two-step orientation system for shaped bottles. Camera detection combined with software defines the position of the bottle in relation to a mark that is placed on it. The software calculates the necessary correction rotation to obtain the proper orientation. The belts receive the information and correct the rotation of the bottle to ensure its correct positioning in relation to the direction of the sleeve application.

Drying module at the end of the shrinking tunnel

The guarantee of a dry product for the packaging at the end of the line

The drying system allows for the removal of any moisture or condensation from the pack. It guarantees a dry product at the outlet of the machine for end-of-line packaging. It meets CE and UL standards and does not exceed 80 dB in production.

Coding and traceability module

Product serialization and marking to meet food standards

This module is located in the remote shrink-sleeve unwind unit for easy access and control without disrupting production. The coding function for printing the use-by date is also used to ensure product serialization and allows for the tracking of the product throughout its life cycle in accordance with food standards. Several marking technologies are available (laser, inkjet...).
