Shrink Sleeving Film Layflat Widths Up to 900 mm (35.4")
Axon's EZ-Wide applicators are the value priced, low to mid-speed models for containers requiring wide multi-pack, wide twin packs, wide tamper evident bands, or wide shrink sleeve labels. These vacuum style shrink sleeve machines use economical stepper motors for consistent, repeatable performance.
The EZ-Wide series includes three shrink sleeving machines that accommodate film layflat widths up to 900 mm (35.4"). These models are ideal for applying multi-pack sleeves, tamper evident neck bands or shrink sleeve labels to large containers or multi-packs.
Axon EZ-Wide shrink sleeve applicators are offered with single-head and dual-head configurations, and are capable of steady-state production speeds from 60 to 90 cpm depending on container size.
