Packaging line integration
Packaging machinery for shrink wrap lines
Shrink wrapping lines are part of a wider packaging process. The right machinery has to fit with filling, labelling, carton handling, coding, conveyors and final packing requirements.
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.
