PE film sleeve wrapper machines
A PE film sleeve wrapper machine wraps grouped products in a film sleeve before the shrink tunnel completes the pack. This route is widely considered for transit packs, beverage multipacks, trays and cartons.
PE film thickness, width and shrink properties affect pack strength, tunnel setup and finished presentation. These details should be part of the machinery discussion.
The sealer and tunnel should be selected together so the film sleeve, seal position, tunnel aperture and belt speed work as a complete system.
Film type, product dimensions, pack count and target output help determine whether the proposed machine route is suitable.
