Shrink Bundling Machinery

Automatic in-line shrink wrapping systems for supported products having a compact frame.

American Packaging Machinery, Inc. incorporates components usually found on high speed equipment into a system having a length of less than eleven feet providing production speeds exceeding twenty packages per minute and conserving valuable floor space.

Model Features

• Heavy duty 2″ x 3″ and 2″ x 6″ tubular steel welded frame with 7-gauge wall thickness.
• Integral frame to reduce vibration and assure smooth product transfers.
• Independent drives for wrapper section and shrink tunnel section for precise control.
• Single roll film rack upper and lower with easy load pull-out feature.
• Seal frame is independent from machine frame to provide an adjustable seal line for efficient film use and future products.
• Pneumatically operated seal frame with dual side cylinder design for positive seal pressure. Includes squaring shaft for positive alignment.
• Film break and run-out detector.
• Photo sensor reads package position. Adjustable time delay controls for positioning and pacing through system.
• Custom solid seal bar design. No parts to maintain. No teflon tape required. Includes safety system to protect products and operators.
• Heavy duty stainless steel shrink tunnel belt. Includes self tracking grooved pulleys and self cooling design for long life.
• Unique shrink tunnel chamber design provides superior air velocity and directional control so a shorter length can be used.

Automatic shrink bundling systems incorporating a ninety degree product in-feed to provide an individual or a multi-pack for supported and unsupported products.

American Packaging Machinery, Inc. designs each MRA series machine specifically for the product to be wrapped at the production speed required. These versatile systems can accommodate a variety of different types of products such as bottles, boxes, bags, or cans to name a few. The MRA series includes all the mechanical and electrical components to assure smooth product transfer and gentle handling through the packaging cycle.
