OPERATION
* After filling capping and labelling, product
containers are fed automatically onto the infeed conveyor of the wrapping
station and continue moving in a single lane onto the collating table
*
Here, a pneumatic pusher collates the containers into the pre-selected pack
formation, which upon completion is transferred forward into the welding
position.
* At this stage the pack is clamped, the welding bar descents
to complete the wrap, and the pusher returns to prepare the next collation of
product.
* As the welding bar ascends, the pusher advances to transfer
the new collation into the welding position, at the same time displacing the
previously wrapped collation onto continiously moving shrink tunnel
conveyor.
* The wrapped collation soon enters the shrink tunnel chamber
where recirclulated hot air causes the wrap to shrink and tightly conform to the
contours of the contents.
* Once the pack is out of the hot chamber ,
forced air cooling is used to tighten sleeve wrap to achive a strong, secure
pack ready for stacking on pallet or a placing on a shipping carton.
Designed for Automatic Collation and Shrink Wrapping of cylindrical or
rectangular or rectangular containers in diameter from 20-200mm dia.

Designed for stacking of
cartons ranging in size from a matchbox to a shoebox.
Designed specifically to
handle efficiently reams of paper or stacks of magazines.
The machine can be
connected directly to a magazine stacker as a part of Fully Automatic printing
and packaging line.
Designed spedifically for the order picking lines in Magazine Distribution Industry.
This machine can wrap variable size stacks of magazines using a unique device that allows wrapping even a single magazine.
OPERATION
* After filling capping and labelling,
product is presented to the machine on a conveyor or trolley.
* Here the
operator assembles a desired group of product in front of hand operated pusher.
Once ready the operator advances the pusher to transfer the pack to the welding
and wrapping position.
* At this stage the pack is
clamped and pusher returns to prepare the next collation while the welding bar
descents to complete the wrap on the pack.
* After the welding bar
ascends, the pusher is advanced to transfer the nwe collation into the welding
position, at the same time displacing the previously wrapped collation onto
continuosly moving shrink tunnel conveyor.
* The wrapped collation soon
enters the shrink tunnel chamber where recirlulated hot air causes the wrap to
shrink and ttightly conform to the contours of the contents.
* Once the
pack is out of the hot chamber , forced air cooling is used to tighten sleeve
wrap to achive a strong, secure pack ready for stacking on pallet or a placing
on a shiping carton.
OPERATION
* After upline processing, product containers are fed
into the grouping section where the desired pack is formed. Depending on speed
required, single or multiple infeed may be used.
* While the product is
being collated, the tray index system prepares the tray. First, the blank is
drawn from the magazine, formed into a "U", then placed between the fingers on
the carrier chains.
* Next the "U" is advanced to the loading station to
merge with the product. Here the now ready collation is transfered into the
cardboard "U" and when completed, the chain is indexed forward.
* During the indexing, the corner flaps are folded and held
in position, but the side flaps are left horizontal until the final
stage.
* As the chain carrier is indexed again, hot melt glus is applied
onto the side flaps. The position and length of the glue path is accurately
controled by the PLC program.
* Upon stopping at the last position, the
end flaps are folded up and held firmly in place until the glue is firm enough
for the tray to be indexed again and dispensed onto the infeed of the Shrink
Wrapper.
