The packaging machine: parts and operation

How does a packaging machine work?

The packing machine is the central core of a packing and packaging system. Packaging is usually the final layer that covers a product above the packaging (tertiary packaging) and guarantees its integrity throughout the industrial and commercial process: transport, distribution, storage…

In this case we are talking about a special packaging machine to wrap the products with thermoplastic or heat-shrinkable film. The objective is to seal the merchandise and protect it from external actions giving it an aesthetic final finish in accordance with the quality of the packaged product. The shrink wrapping consists of packaging with a transparent polyethylene film (recyclable and ecological) that adapts to the shape of the product.

These types of ovens are very common in different industrial sectors and can be purchased in different sizes according to the needs of each production line.

This is a complete, total and optimal process for the packaging of industrial products. It consists of a first wrapping station that applies the film on the product and a second part that is the retraction oven in which the film will shrink leaving a packed package, compact and with great aesthetic showiness.

Wrapping machine

The function of this packing machine is to pack the cargo and wrap it with a transparent polyethylene film (recyclable and ecological) that isolates it from dirt and any threat or contamination during transport. It is an essential machine and its use translates into a very important saving of wrapping film, since companies that do not have a wrapping machine spend up to 3 times more of this plastic to carry out the same process.

This is a complete and total packaging process that together with the one carried out with the Shrink Wrapping Ovens make them the two most used and effective packaging systems currently on the industrial market.

This type of machines are capable of working together with an initial baler that will automatically apply film of, for example, bubble that will strengthen the category of the packaging giving greater protection to the product.
