- SIG-N: Offering swift bundling and unmatched adaptability. With a range of innovative options to cater to diverse production needs, the SIG-N stands out as dependable and efficient.
- SIG-N PLUS: ideal for wide and tall products, including Gaylord boxes, it provides high-speed bundling and unparalleled flexibility for the corrugated industry.
Servicing your semi-automatic machines regularly ensures continued operation, minimizes downtime, and maximizes efficiency in your production line.
Stretch Wrapping and Shrink Bundling Systems
While strapping machines secure packages, stretch wrapping and shrink bundling systems offer additional layers of protection, especially for oddly shaped or stacked items. UTSI services stretch and bundling systems?
Stretch Wrapping Systems: These systems wrap a stretch film around your products, protecting against dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
The stretch film is typically polyethylene and is available in different thicknesses. The pallet is first placed on the stretch wrapper’s turntable. The film is then attached to the pallet and wrapped around it as the turntable rotates. The amount of stretch applied to the film can be adjusted to ensure the pallet is wrapped tightly.
Stretch wrappers can also be programmed to apply a specific number of wraps or tension to the film. This ensures consistency and reduces the risk of product damage during transportation.
Shrink Bundling Systems: These machines are designed to shrink film tightly around your products, providing a secure and tamper-evident seal.
The process begins by feeding products onto a conveyor, where they are grouped. The shrink bundling machine applies a shrink film around the bundle, sealing the film at the edges. Afterward, the bundle is passed through a heat tunnel, where the heat causes the film to shrink, conforming tightly to the shape of the products.
This provides a secure, tamper-evident seal, protecting the items from dust, moisture, and other contaminants while improving stability for stacking or shipping. These systems are commonly used for packaging multiple products, such as bottles, cans, or boxes.
