How Does Shrinkwrap Machinery Work?
Shrinkwrap machines work by creating a sleeve, or envelope, of loose shrink film around a product, from a continuous plastic roll. Heat is then applied to shrink the individual sleeve or envelope firmly around the product. If the film is properly applied by a shrinkwrap machine then the resultant packaged product will have an outer wrap which conforms tightly around the product itself. The film is strong, thin, and clear, and will provide both tamper evidence and enhanced optical display properties, both of which are essential for retail distribution.Get more news about Auto Shrink Wrap Machine,you can vist our website!

This process is available to all businesses, whether the demand is low level, or whether required by large scale organisations that have continuous production requirements. Accordingly Shrink wrapping can be fulfilled by machinery that is very simple, such as a manual heat gun, or it can be through specialist packaging machinery. Kempner is here to offer exactly the right advice, because for all businesses, the right shrink wrap machine is vital to efficiency, allowing as many products to be wrapped in as short an amount of time as possible.

The type of shrink wrapping machinery you need for your business will depend upon understanding your current, or proposed, wrapping process and what you goals are. You will need to think about the wrapping process: how
quickly packs are produced prior to the wrapping process, what range of sizes are required, and how many packs are to be wrapped in a given time.

Whatever the need, there will nearly always be a shrink wrapping machine designed to meet the application. If you would like to discuss individual requirements then Kempner can help you understand which packaging
machine and shrinkwrap film options may be best suited to your needs. The ways in which shrink wrapping machines operate can vary in type in a number significant ways. In simple terms the choice is between Manual, Semi-Automatic and Fully Automatic, but within each of these broader categories there are various options to choose. Below are some of the available options:
Side Sealer
A side sealer is the quickest and most versatile way of packaging large volumes of products. They wrap products in a continuous tube of film, sealing one side of the package then separating individual units downstream through a cross seal. Side sealers usually come in one of two configurations: two belts or three belts. A two belt sealer is more compact (only slightly bigger than an L-sealer) and eliminates one of the indeed belts to make the end seal before the side seal.

They are best when you need to wrap longer products but cannot afford to expand production line lengths. Three belt sealers are slightly larger than two belt sealers and have the added advantage of precisely spacing the products before entering the wrapping area.
