Welcome to Package This &#; your guide to packaging machinery and materials, produced by the Emerging Brands Alliance in conjunction with Packaging World and PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.

In today&#;s episode, we&#;ll cover the family of machines known as Wrapping Equipment. While there are many types of wrappers covering a broad range of applications, they all have one thing in common: they take a flexible packaging material &#; such as film, foil, or paper &#; and envelop it around a product.

One of the most widely used types of wrapping equipment is flow wrappers. They wrap individual packages or products by forming a continuous stream of material into a tube shape around the item that is later sealed and cut. Flow-wrapped products can be found all over the grocery store &#; individually wrapped candy bars and granola bars are just two examples. This technology can also be used in many other applications, from medical devices to non-food items.

Syntegon&#;s Pack 301 LS solution is an example of a horizontal flow wrapping machine. As trays of biscuits are fed into the machine, film from an overhead roll wraps around the product. Crimper jaws then immediately cut and seal the ends, forming a package that preserves freshness. While this video shows the machine in a biscuit packaging application, Syntegon designed the Pack 301 LS  for flexibility and fast format changes, so it handles a wide range of products. Because flow wrappers are often used during long production runs in food packaging, they need to be reliable under continuous operation and require a high-level of sanitation. Syntegon built this machine to be robust, using production-proven technology and high-quality parts. It also features a clean, stainless steel construction for easy accessibility and cleaning.

Shrink wrappers are another type of wrapper that uses heat-shrinkable film. These machines run all sizes of products, including items with irregular shapes or sharp edges. Shrink Wrapping Machines come in a wide range of formats from manual to automatic models.

In this video, we see an operator demonstrating a shrink wrapper with a manual L-Bar type sealer from Eastey. First, the operator feeds the item through an adjustable product tray that easily separates the film and accommodates a variety of product sizes. The operator then lowers the L-Bar to create the initial seal. Next, the sealed product is fed into a heat tunnel, which applies heat to shrink the thermoplastic film tightly, forming a protective, clean, and tamper-proof seal. Many shrink wrappers typically handle more than one type of film. For example, this Eastey model can shrink most polyolefin, polyethylene and PVC films. Eastey also equips this unit with a takeaway conveyor that can be raised or lowered to center the seal on the product.

Overwrappers are machines that are typically designed to package flat, straight-edged products such as cartons or flat boxes. Overwrapping equipment is often used to provide an additional layer of protection to a primary package, such as wrapping clear plastic film over a small carton containing a perfume bottle or personal care item. The overwrapping process starts by pushing the product through heat-sealable film that is cut from a larger roll. The film is then tucked and folded around the product before heated plates seal the film with a tight crease, giving the package an appearance that is reminiscent of gift wrapping.

Last but not least is a specialty type of wrapping machine: twist wrappers. Also known as bunch wrappers, these machines are widely used in the confectionery industry to package small, individual units such as hard candies, bonbons or caramel rolls. In a typical twist wrapping application, the product is fed and staged in line for wrapping. At the same time, the machine unwinds the film rollstock to get the precise amount of film needed to wrap the product, cuts the film to size, and pushes the piece to be wrapped into place around the film. Then the rotary grippers grab the two ends to quickly fold and twist film around the product, forming the double twist wrap.

As we have seen, wrapping machines can be used to package a wide range of goods, from small round items to rectangular cartons, horizontal trays, and large flat products. We hope you enjoyed this video and learned a little bit about some of the most common types of wrapping equipment.

6 QUESTIONS TO FIND THE IDEAL SHRINK WRAPPING MACHINE FOR YOUR PRODUCTS

Shrink wrapping is one of today&#;s most common secondary packaging techniques. It is widely used all around the world for packaging needs including maximizing shelf appeal, protection from external factors, bundling and multi-packaging to ease transport and storage, and last but not least tamper-proofing. This wide array of functionality makes it an excellent option for almost all industries from food to cosmetics or even boats and construction materials.

Even though the shrink wrapping process is pretty straightforward, many considerations go into choosing the right shrink packaging solution that best meets your need.  So how do you identify the ideal shrink wrapping machine for your product and production needs? Here are the 6 important questions & tips that will give you a headstart:

 

1- What is your product and what is the desired outcome you expect from shrink-wrapping?

2-  What are the dimensions of your product and the orientation you want it to be packaged?

3-  What is the production speed/capacity your operation requires?

4-  Do you need an inline solution or a hand-feed operation?

5-  What type of shrink film will you use?

6-  Do you need any peripheral equipment such as extra applications or control points in the packaging line &#; such as labeler, checkweigher, discard arm, etc.

 

 

What is your product and what result do you want to achieve with shrink-wrapping?

What is your product? Is it a frozen pizza, a wheel rim, a cosmetic product, or a book? Do you want it to be shrink-wrapped for display or logistic purposes?

Here are a few common desired results you can expect from shrink wrapping:

 

Display

The shiny outer packaging is to be noticed among other products while protecting the primary package. The use of printed film also adds the advantage of branding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Protection

Fully closed shrink wrap protects the product against scratching during transport, water, dust, or any other unwanted external factors.

 

Tamper-Resistance

For some products, Packaging serves as proof of the first usage by the end-user. An unopened shrink wrap gives end-users the confidence to buy the product.

 

Grouping or Bundling of Products

Do you want to group multiple products to display or logistics purposes? Is your product heavy and do you need openings on the sides of the package to easily carry by hand? Or you have a promotion and you want to put together two products that will be sold together in the supermarket?

Logistics/Storage

To create an easy-to-carry package for heavy items.

 

 

 

 

What are the dimensions of your product and the orientation you want it to be packaged?

The minimum and maximum dimensions of the products you will shrink wrap is the second most important question to determine in terms of identifying the right shrink wrapping machine. All packages have three dimensions, the product width, length, and height. Also, the orientation that the product will be packaged is another important data needed.

 

Shrink wrapping machines have limitations in terms of the maximum dimensions they can package. In the L-Sealer manual or semi-automatic machine models, this limit is decided by the size of the L bar.

 

In fully automatic machines, there is no limit to the product length however the product height and the width do have some mechanical limitations.

 

 

Selecting the right-sized shrink wrapper optimizes the packaging cost and production capacity. Keep in mind that the size of the shrink wrapper and heat tunnel should be able to accommodate your largest product.

 

What is the daily production speed/capacity your operation requires?

The number of products you need to package daily is another critical piece of information in choosing the right shrink wrapping solution.

The capacity of shrink wrapping machines varies from Low Capacity to High Capacity and is typically measured as packages per minute and varies according to the length and the height of the product.

Low Capacity

These are manual shrink wrapping machines that hold the capacity to produce 5 to 10 packages per minute. These machines are run by an operator whose experience level has a considerable effect on the total packaged products per minute.

 

 

Medium Capacity

Semi-Automatic L sealers fall into this category. In semi-automatic shrink wrappers, the sealing arm is automatic. This automatic motion gives the operator time to prepare the product in line for sealing. The average output expectation for semi-automatic shrink wrapping machines is anywhere from 10 to 25 packages per minute.

 

High Capacity

High capacity shrink wrapping machines are Fully Automatic Shrink Wrappers. These systems can integrate into your production line if wanted. Equipped with conveyors and multiple sensors they don&#;t require an operator which in return maximizes the output and saves cost. The capacity of automatic shrink wrappers is 25 to 80 packages per minute.

 

It&#;s important to take into consideration your production volume growth projections at least for the following year.

 

 

Does your operation require an inline or a stand-alone hand fed shrink wrapping solution?

Do you want to integrate the shrink wrapping station into your production line is another defining question you need to answer when choosing the right shrink wrapping machine. If the answer is yes, then you would require a fully automatic shrink wrapper. In an inline system, the alignment, rotation, separation, collation, upending, dividing, or even bonding of the products must be well projected initially.

 

If the answer is no, then a stand-alone shrink wrapping system that will be hand-fed is what you are looking into. In this case, an operator manually feeds the products to the conveyor.

 

 

What type of shrink film will you use?

This takes us to this question &#; What is the desired result you are aiming for with shrink wrapping? To achieve the right outcome the shrink film you choose the film with proper specifications for your product and shrink wrapper.

You can be directed to the right film by the shrink wrapper manufacturer or your film supplier. But before doing that the following information will allow you to get familiar with shrink films.

 

Types of Shrink Film and Use Areas

 

There are different types and thicknesses of shrink film and which one you need to use depends on what you want to achieve by shrink wrapping your product. If you want to package a box of chocolate to be displayed on a market shelf then preference should be a film that gives your package an extra shine making it stand out among other products. In the case, you have multiple and/or heavy products such as a pack of soft drinks or a steel spare part then you will need a film that is strong and durable.

 

In choosing the right shrink film the product&#;s shape, shrink wrapping machine being used, and temperature restrictions all play a role. It is best to get a professional opinion for your unique product before purchasing a shrink film.

 

Polyolefin (POF) Shrink Film

Polyolefin aka POF film is preferred almost in all industries due to its versatile and environment-friendly nature. It is also safe to use for edible and non-edible products. The film is highly clear making the content of the package visible to the end-user and has a glossy appearance that makes the product presentable and attractive on the market shelf. Especially cross-linked POF film provides extra clarity and is stronger than the regular POF film. It is widely applied to products including food, toys, cosmetics, books, and stationary just being a few.

 

Polyethylene (PE) Shrink Film

The clarity of Polyethylene shrink film is lower than POF film. It is mostly used for heavy products mostly for industrial products. It is a highly durable and strong film making it ideal for protection and transit purposes. It is also the most cost-effective Packaging material. It is widely used for packaging products such as spare parts, doors, and window frames, bundling of cans or glass jars to name a few.

 

PVC Shrink Film

PVC film is a lightweight and inexpensive film option. However, the hazardous fumes, it releases when heated making it the least ideal choice of film. However, it still finds use for industrial products.

 

Gauge (Thickness) of The Shrink Film

Using the right thickness of shrink film will support you in a good-looking and functioning packaging. Also, the right shrink film will help you save money as the price of the film is defined by its width and thickness.

 

Do you need any peripheral equipment such as extra applications or control points in the packaging line  &#; such as labeler, checkweigher, or discard arm?

 

Labeling Unit

A labeling unit can be integrated into the shrink wrapper to add labels to the product or the package. Used to apply barcodes, product labels, etc.

Checkweigher

Checkweighers serve as a control point to ensure the correct weight of the product being packaged. If the product is lighter or heavier than indicated it will be pushed off the line with a discarded arm.

Feeders

Feeders can be used to place items on the product before it is packaged such as a sheet of paper.

 

Discard arm

Products that are found unfit by the sensors or the checkweigher are pushed off the packaging line via a discard arm for future inspection.

How to Operate Shrink Wrap Machine

Shrink wraps have remarkably changed how the packaging industry operates. Also, more and more organizations are shifting from manual shrink wrapping to machine wrap, owing to its benefits. 

There are many questions though, regarding its usage, and specifically how to operate shrink wrap machine. But for those who don&#;t know, let&#;s start by explaining what shrink wrap really is.

 

What is Shrinkwrap?

Shrinkwrapping is a process in which any product item is covered or wrapped around in a free sleeve of loose polyolefin shrink film. The desired product is wrapped around by such film on the application of heat and this results in a clean, crystal clear, tight, and safe wrap around the product. It is not only cost-effective but also gives the required protection to the product. 

 

How to Operate Shrink wrapping machine?

Having talked about shrink wrap machines, now let&#;s deliberate on the main topic. So here&#;s how you work on the shrink wrapping machine.

 

I-Bar Sealers

These are wrapping solutions for small business houses. They are simple and easy to use. All you have to do is seal one side and turn 90 degrees to seal again. After completing this process, you have to use a heat gun to shrink the film. 

 

L-Bar Sealers

This sealer machine eliminates the need of having to turn the item being sealed 90 degrees by sealing two sides at the same time. 

 

Shrink Tunnel

They are arguably the most efficient and easy to use. Not only just this, but shrink tunnel also offers consistency as no use of handheld heat gun is necessary. All the operator has to do is set the required temperature and speed on the machine and place the product on the conveyor belt. 

After putting the product on the conveyor you have to leave it up on the machine to do its job. The product you place would come out fully wrapped.

 

Foot Sealers

These are apt for wrapping products and require foot pedals to do the job. You&#;ll have to use this pedal to raise and lower the sealing bar. As these are hands-free and use the work of foot, you&#;ll be free to use your hands in doing some other work.

 

Chamber Sealers

A chamber sealer works differently than the shrink tunnel. Here, the product is put up with the shrink wrap through a compartment. Thereafter the compartment is heated so that shrink wrap is wrapped around the product. Once the heat is applied to the whole compartment, shrink wrap gets compressed, giving a tight, clean, and sophisticated finish. 

There are several benefits or advantages of using this technique, and we&#;ve listed them in the below section. 

 

Benefits of Shrinkwrapping

Below are the 5 advantages of using this technique. This would enlighten you on the positive sides of shrink wrapping.

More Stronger than alternatives

As compared to alternatives like overwraps or stretch wraps, shrink wrapping is stronger. This ensures the packaging doesn&#;t fall apart even when occasional bumps come in transit. As the film sticks pretty tightly to the product there are fewer chances of it getting torn or messed up.

Aesthetically pleasing

While we seldom look for aesthetics when it comes to packaging, there&#;s no harm when such advantages come in the bundle of benefits. The shrink wrap confers a shiny look on the product which not only looks clean but also seems tight and professional. The products packaged through shrink wrap are also easy to clean as dust attached to the product could be cleaned with just the application of a damp cloth. 

Cost-Effective

There are several types of sealing machines available on the planet. A business house&#;s requirement would depend on its scale of operation. If you are just starting, then I-Bar sealers would be helpful. They come at a cost ranging from $100 to $550, for medium-sized enterprises, L-Bar sealers are a good option and if your factory needs to wrap 100s of products in a minute, the Shrink Tunnels would be helpful. Their cost range from $ to $. 

At Pro-Pack Solutions, we deal in Shrinkwrap machines and services to organizations of every size. These solutions are a cost-effective and initial investment as well as long term investment for these machines would be quite low as compared to alternatives available.

Speed up the whole process

Speed and efficiency are two aspects that are indispensable in the present world. Corporates are spending money to save that extra second and provide quick service to customers. Shrinkwrap machines serve this purpose too and drastically reduces the time that is taken on the production line. As manual wrapping is eliminated, the automated machines work towards saving as much time as possible. 

The convenience of using different types of films

It&#;s important to know that you could use three types of film shrink wrapping: polyvinyl chloride, polyolefin, and polyethylene. As they come with distinct characteristics, upsides, and downsides, you can choose the one which serves your purpose. While Polyolefin is durable, versatile and FDA approved, PVC may seem a little brittle and unreliable under extreme temperatures. 

On the other hand, polyethylene comes with its own benefits and downsides. We suggest reading more about their characteristics and settle for one which serves your needs. 

 

Buying the best Shrink wrapping machine

As these machines are more like a one-time investment with a substantial upfront cost, you should rely on professionals when buying one.
