Continuous Motion Tray Bundler Wrapping Up to 45 Trays per Minute

Arpac's 45TW-28 tray wrapper is part of a dependable line of shrink packaging systems designed to service a wide variety of industries. This compact and economical shrink wrapper is capable of wrapping up to 45 products per minute, depending on product size.

This system will wrap any unitized or tray-packed product, including random pack sizes. The 45TW-28 tray wrapper guarantees years of reliable service, and is ready to ship in as little as two weeks from the order date.

Mode of Operation

The system operation begins when products (broad-side leading) transfer from the customer’s production line onto the in-feed pacing conveyor of the wrapper. This in-feed pacing conveyor will create the required pacing of the products for the wrapping cycle.

The trays will now intersect the film web and pass through the seal frame. When the trailing edge of the product passes through the seal frame the seal bars will close and follow the product. The dwell timer times out and the seal bars open forming a sleeve of film around the product. The sleeved product then conveys into and through the tunnel chamber tunnel where the combination of heat and air flow shrink the film sleeve around the product to form a tight neat package. The bundle now exits the tunnel and passes through a three-way air cooling section and transfers onto the customer's conveyor to complete the shrink overwrap packaging cycle.
