Arpac XLR8 Side Seal Shrink Wrapper

The XLR8 side seal horizontal shrink wrapper is one of the most versatile, servo-driven packaging machines on the market today. It is capable of wrapping up to 100 packages per minute in clear or print registered film. This continuous motion XLR8 film folding system eliminates the need for multiple forming heads with its adjustable film former. Unlike conventional film inverters, the XLR8 film path ensures equal transfer of grouped products onto the film without skewing the product configuration making it ideal for multipacks and irregular shaped products. Multi-axis servo-driven operation offers precise electronic control for immediate and accurate sealing action, ensuring strong, consistent seals. The seal opening height is electronically programmed to vary with product height, maximizing output speeds for smaller products. The servo pouch length adjustment enables "on-the-fly" bag length changes without changing the flight spacing. All adjustments are made from the operator side of the machine and product changeovers can be completed quickly and easily. The XLR8 uses single wound film which is less costly than centerfolded rolls and increases uptime efficiency. A unique side sealing mechanism ensures strong attractive trim seals using polyolefin, PVC or polyethylene shrink film. The XLR8's cross-seal system has a precision temperature control that maintains accurate heat settings. An independently driven scrap removal system compacts excess film. A side loading film cradle allows easy roll loading and reduces film changeover time. Located beneath the film forming table, the film requires no additional floor space. Compact in design, the XLR8 is easily integrated into any existing production environment.
