Operation
- The product is presented to the machine by an automatic infeed device
- An infeed sensor starts a reciprocating infeed pusher which carries the product through the vertical film sheet, causing it to wrap around the product
- As the product moves through the film to the folding mechanism, the film feed and rotary knife is activated
- A new sheet is placed into position at the proper length for the next package as the reciprocating pusher returns to home position
- Upper and lower vertical shuttles complete the sleeving of the film as a heat bar creates the film overlap seal
- Each package pushes the preceding package through a folding and tucking section that makes an envelope fold on both ends of the package
- The product then moves into reciprocating heaters that seal the two sides of the package
