Continuous-motion shrink wrapping machine 55GI-20CX

with shrink tunnel

Compact Continuous Motion Wrapper With Integral Shrink Tunnel ARPAC’s industry-leading 55GI shrink bundler meets the needs of low to medium volume printers and interacts with today’s 18,000 to 20,000 books-per-hour binding lines, presorted postal route sequencing applications and the printing industry’s fastest counter-stackers. The 55GI is capable of wrapping extremely short, lightweight and random sized products, and is ideal for e-commerce applications. Shrink wrapped bundles reduce movement and product damage during shipment, and provide protection against harmful environmental conditions. The 55GI wraps random sized stacks on demand, without interrupting production of the wrapper itself. The zero tension film feed ensures that this compact and economical shrink bundler wraps up to 55 products per minute. Mode of Operation Products are conveyed paced and centered onto the powered infeed conveyor. Photo eyes located on the infeed conveyor detect the height of the product as it passes. The PLC then cycles the zero tension mechanism so that there is no film tension applied to the product as it intersects the film. When the product intersects the film web, it passes through the seal frame and moves onto the seal conveyor. As the product moves through the film the machine detects film usage and starts the powered film unwind feeding film. After enough film is fed the powered film unwind system stops.
