Line layout

The line layout should allow safe operator loading, product transfer, tunnel outfeed, maintenance access and future equipment additions.

  • Integrate shrink wrapping with existing equipment
  • Review conveyors and handover points
  • Plan installation and operator access
  • Specify sealer and tunnel as one system

Product flow

Products need to arrive at the sealer at a consistent pace. Infeed issues often limit output more than the sealer itself.
