OCME's solutions are in continuous evolution and allow more flexibility and high performance standards. This leads to large benefits for you: packs with greater aesthetics, higher speed productivity.
Towards the end of the ‘80s, OCME entered the packaging market with its own design of flexible shrink wrap packers capable of processing different containers and packaging configurations.
Over the years, shrink wrap packers have continued to undergo improvements, perfecting the shrinking properties of the films used even if the process has remained nearly the same.
OCME shrink wrap packers were the pioneers in their sector, developing the technology and offering an unprecedented level of flexibility and performance.
Vega HT is a flexible machine capable of producing film-only packs, pad and film packs, tray and film packs or tray only packs.
The machine is equipped with various optional devices designed to increase its performance even further.
The electronic selection unit manages incoming products without mechanical pressure, helping protect containers and labels while simplifying format changeover.
OCME has developed a solution called "electronic selection" that allows us to select incoming products without any contact so as not to damage the external surface in any way or, even worse, the label, which is totally devoid of traditional pegs: by independently motorizing each row of incoming products, it is possible to channel and dose - according to the format being processed - the containers without contact pressure.
With this system, format changeover also becomes simpler as there is no need to physically change the traditional peg bars.
Cygnus increases machine autonomy by feeding carton blanks directly from the pallet into the magazine. This reduces manual handling, improves operator ergonomics and supports longer production runs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

In a new step towards sustainable packaging and technological evolution, OCME has worked together with suppliers ExxonMobil Chemical and RKW Group to develop a new type of high quality film made with virgin polyethylene from ExxonMobil and post-consumer recycled PE content.
An installation was carried out of Vega HT at a well-known customer’s plant: Coca-Cola HBC Italia, located in Oricola, which is part of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company
Designed around specific customer's need, OCME can offer a integrated systems that allows to palletize multi flavour bottles with different multiflavour configuration on a single tray to meet customer's aim.
The end of line system was designed and implemented using seven technological solutions, among the fastest and most advanced of the entire range of products available within the Group. Let us see which ones: Depalletisers, tray packers, palletisers and wrapping machines from OCME and Robopac.
