What are they?
The bundling machines are automatic or semi-automatic devices used to package and wrap groups of products (called bundles) into a single package, generally wrapping everything with a plastic film (such as shrink film) or with other packaging materials. The process that occurs with these machines is called bundling and is very common in production lines for the food, beverage, cosmetics, hygiene industries, and other industrial sectors.
Operation of bundling machines:
Bundling machines are responsible for grouping and packaging multiple product units together, creating a compact and secure package for transport or storage. The typical process takes place in several stages:
Product feeding: Individual products (for example, bottles, cans, packages, boxes, etc.) are fed into the bundling machine in an orderly manner. These products can come from a production line or a transport system.
Bundle formation: The products are grouped together in a single configuration, forming a "bundle." The number of products in each bundle depends on the configuration and specific needs (for example, a group of six cans or a dozen bottles).
Wrapping: Once the group of products has been formed, the machine wraps the bundle with a packaging material, usually a shrink plastic film. The film can be applied so that it wraps the bundle tightly and securely.
Sealing: The film is then sealed to ensure it remains adherent to the products. In bundling machines with shrink film, the film is heated through a shrink tunnel that reduces the film around the products, creating a hermetic seal.
Cutting and output: The sealed bundle is then cut and sent to the next stage of the production line, such as palletizing or shipping.
What do we offer?
1. Shrink Film Wrapping Machines:
These are the most common and use a plastic film that is heated in a shrink tunnel. The film shrinks, perfectly fitting the shape of the bundle and sealing it securely.
2. Stretch Film Wrapping Machines:
In this type of machine, the stretch film (such as polyethylene) is wrapped around the products without the use of heat. These machines are more suitable for bundles that do not require shrink wrapping but still need protection and stable sealing.
3. Adhesive Tape Wrapping Machines:
Some machines use adhesive tape to seal the bundle instead of shrink or stretch film. This system is less common but can be useful in certain industrial contexts.
4. Rigid Film or Cardboard Wrapping Machines:
In some applications, wrapping machines can use materials such as rigid cardboard or rigid plastic film to create protected and secure bundles for more fragile or specific products.
5. High-Speed Wrapping Machines:
These machines are designed for high-capacity productions, capable of packaging and sealing large volumes of bundles very quickly. They are particularly useful in high-demand sectors such as food or beverages.
