Shrink film machinery:
Automatic machines for packing plastic, metal, cardboard or glass
containers; packs in film only, cardboard pad + film, tray only, cardboard
tray + film
Shrink Wrapper
Packaging options & output rate (packs per minute)
SMI designs and manufactures a wide range of fully automated
machines: Shrink wrappers with in-line infeed, shrink wrappers with
90º infeed, stretch-film packers with in-line infeed and combined
machines (shrink wrapper + wrap-around case packer); trayformers;
wrap-around case packers; pick & place case packer and cardboard
multipack sleevers. The models available provide performances up
to 450 packs/min (in triple lane), depending on the model chosen
and on the type of product to pack. SMI shrink wrappers and case
packers can be integrated with a SMI palletiser to form a “Packbloc”
compact end-of-line system.
