Autopack Model 60SIP30FP

Semi-Auto Bundle Wrappers

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.

Tray-Shrink WrappingLines

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.
