Vega HT Shrink-wrap packers

Cygnus - automatic blank feeding

The capacity of the blank magazine can be fed with a robotic blank picking system that move blank into magazine directly from the pallet.

The pallet with blanks only needs to be positioned on the conveyor by the fork-lift truck driver who removes the wrapping
strap, after which the machine runs completely automatically for a long time. The operator is thus relieved of the need to lift stacks of blanks manually.

Integrated handle applicator

With the integrated OCME handle applicator located before shrink wrapping module, the customer has two machines in one.
The machine operates with single, double or triple track, with rapid format changeover, and high efficiency in applying the adhesive tape on film.

Energy saving kit 

The kit consists of a series of motorized curtains at the tunnel inlet and outlet which close when the shrink wrapper packer is not receiving any products from the line. Heat is preserved inside the tunnel by closing the oven inlet and outlet, slowing down conveyor and cooling fans 
and reducing the current drawn by the heating elements to minimize dispersions and energy consumption.

External reel loader

In order to facilitate the operator in loading the shrink film reels, the machine can be equipped with an external loader which guarantees a high level of ergonomics. The loader is completed with an automatic splicing unit.

Size changeover

To make the size changeover easy, quick and repeatable, machine has several customizations that allow simple adjustments without tools. 
The repeatability of each adjustment is guaranteed by counters and numerical tables which correspond to an specific values for each size. 
Adjustments are totally automated on the motorized version and the operator intervention is required only to start the procedure and for a minimum number of the operations.

A step-by-step guided procedure, complete with photographs, may be uploaded onto the operator panel to help the operator during size changeover. In this way, size changeover becomes easy even for operators without specific training, who just need to carry out all the steps in the correct order. 
In the model with the PDA device, the machine adjustment points are identified by barcodes. A PDA reader scans the code that reproduces the description of the adjustment to be made and the corresponding value.

Automatic reel SPLICING DEVICE

This optional feature reduces idle time especially on highly automated systems in which the operator is responsible for supervising multiple machines. When a new reel is inserted, the leading edge of the film simply needs to be placed in position and the machine automatically splices the ended film and restarts with the new one One without the intervention of an operator.
