Specifying a bottle shrink wrapper
Bottle shrink wrapper systems need to be chosen around the bottle and the finished pack, not just the machine width. Round products can move during collation, sealing and heat tunnel travel, so the product presentation and conveyor handling are important.
Lancing can advise on sleeve sealer and heat tunnel combinations for bottle bundles, including pack formats such as 6-pack, 12-pack and tray-supported multipacks when suitable for the product and line.
Good bottle shrink wrapper quotations start with product dimensions, bundle layout, target output, film route and a clear description of how products arrive at the wrapping area.
