Automatic Sleeve Wrapper Machine with Shrink Tunnel



















Principle of Operation – Automatic Sleeve Wrapper The Sleeve Wrapper with sealing bar uses two rolls of single wound shrink film. One film roll is kept on the roll holder at top and another roll kept at the bottom. Once the film from both the rolls is sealed to make a joint, it forms a curtain through which the products are pushed through and the film is sealed again at the back side of the products. This forms a tube of film (open at two ends) around the product(s). The products are then transferred to the shrink tunnel for final shrinking.

Operation – Automatic Sleeve Wrapper The  sealing system consists of  a Special  sealing system  suitable for P.E.films. The infeed table of the sealing unit receives the product and and are pushed to the outfeed area of sealing unit through the film curtain. Once the cartons reach the sealing area, the top hold down will be actuated to hold the carton and sealing arm is actuated. The sealing arm makes the seal and top hold down and sealing bar retracts and this completes the sealing operation. Once the sealing arm retracts the next product can be pushed to sealing area. The complete sequence including unwinding motors is controlled through PLC.

Operation Shrink Tunnel
The shrink tunnel would circulate hot air around the pack as it moves on the conveyor. The air blow is provided by means of two blowers driven by AC motors. The air from inside of the tunnel is sucked and blown on the heater. Heaters are finned types and are located on the sides of the tunnel chamber. This re-circulated air comes on the pack from all sides, top bottom thereby giving a uniform shrink to the pack. Once the product moves out of the hot chamber, cool air is blown on the pack to achieve a tight cling on the pack and to cool the pack.
