Collating Machine
The SJ COLWRAP collates cartons of any configuration, wraps it with B.O.P.P. film, folds the film at the pack ends in envelope type and seals them from three sides to form a multipack. This machine can always be the last machine in a high speed packaging line as the final output of this machine is a sturdy multipack of good aesthetic value. This multipack can then be loaded directly into shippers. This makes it the ideal wrapping machine for people who believe in quality packaging as well as aesthetic value of their product.

THE COURSE OF ACTION

  • The carton travels on the conveyor to the collator section where the right number of cartons in a row are lifted and stacked. The process is repeated again i.e. a same number of cartons are lifted again and stacked to form the bunch.
  • The last row of cartons lifted forms the bottom of the bunch. This process is repeated till the required configuration of collation is formed (If the configuration of collation is 10 x 5 then 10 cartons will be lifted and stacked 5 times to form the configuration).
  • This is for our first type of collation & is usually used for tube cartons. The cartons where length is less whereas height and width comparatively more, the second type of collation is used where the cartons are horizontally collated instead of lifting them vertically.
  • The formed bunch of cartons is then pushed to the wrapping section by a pneumatic cylinder. Meanwhile the film is unwound by means of driving grippers and carried to the wrapping station. In the process, the film passes through the comb of the static eliminator provided, thereby eliminating the static charge formed in the film. At the wrapping section the bunch is pushed along with the B.O.P.P. film to the main heat-sealing station where the film is sealed along the length of the bunch. The bunch then passes through the folding sections where the film on the sides of the bunch is gradually folded. The bunch is then carried to the side sealing station where both the sides of the bunch are heat-sealed and subsequently carried out by the teflon conveyors.

ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER FORMS OF PACKING

  • It enables the use of superior quality, low cost B.O.P.P. film which has enormous improved properties of tensile strength, transparency and crackle which makes it a much cheaper substitute for shrink wrapped packs.
  • Product visibility lessens the possibility of handling damage and petty pilfering.
  • Product is always on display thus aiding promotion without lessening security.
  • All round protection from dirt and humidity.
  • Light weight. Easily disposed of when removed from pack.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES

  • Feed is particularly adapted for the insertion of the machine into a production line.
  • Collating is effected positively.
  • Film is fed precisely and consistently.
  • Sealers have variable temperature control with easy external adjustment.
  • The wrapping is very tight.

CHECK DEVICES & SAFETY FEATURES

  • In case of overload, machine stops.
  • When the machine stops, sealers automatically retract to avoid product damage.
