Film feed module speeds-up wrap systems
offers long-life reliability, its manufacturer claims.
Film wrapping adds protection to products against damage, tampering and contamination. Feed modules allow wrapping systems to run at higher speeds, with greater accuracy. Standard-Knapp said its Film Feed Module for its Continuum systems line uses high-speed servos to feed and cut. Clear and printed film is then delivered to the wrapping wand, which can handle about 100 packages a minute, the company claims. The module has also been added to the manufacturers line of tray packing and shrink wrapping systems. Modules have built-in features to minimize the static-charge, which can damage machinery and disrupt wrapping, the company claims. The module's knife delivers precise cuts on thin or think gauge film, which contributes to the longer life of the module, claims the manufacturer. The open design of the module and light-weight construction allows the film to be quickly changed, reducing downtime, claims the manufacturer. The film feed module is now standard on new Continuum tray packing and shrink wrapping systems. US-based Standard-Knapp is a manufacturer of packing machinery for a variety of industries including beverage, food, and other industries. The company provides packaging solutions including tray packers, tray loading machines, case packers, shrink wrappers, and bottle packers.
