side sealer and shrinking machine for box

A motion sealer shrinking machine for boxes is a specialized equipment used for shrink-wrapping boxes or cartons. It provides a tight and secure packaging solution by applying heat to shrink a plastic film tightly around the box, creating a protective and tamper-evident seal. Here is a description of the typical features and process involved in a motion sealer shrinking machine for boxes:

  1. Conveyor System: The machine is equipped with a conveyor system that transports the boxes through the packaging process. The conveyor may consist of rollers, belts, or a combination of both.
  2. Loading Area: Boxes are manually or automatically placed onto the conveyor belt at the beginning of the packaging line. The spacing between the boxes should be sufficient to allow for the shrink film to be wrapped around each box.
  3. Film Unwind System: The machine has an unwind system that holds and dispenses the shrink film. The film roll is mounted onto a spindle or holder, and the film unwinds as the conveyor moves the boxes forward.
  4. Film Wrapping: As the boxes move along the conveyor, the shrink film is pulled and wrapped around each box. The film may be guided and stretched by various mechanisms, such as rollers or guides, to ensure a snug fit around the box.
  5. Sealing and Cutting: Once the shrink film is wrapped around the box, it passes through a sealing and cutting mechanism. This mechanism uses heat to seal the film edges together, creating a secure closure, and simultaneously cuts off excess film for a tidy finish.
  6. Shrink Tunnel: After sealing and cutting, the wrapped boxes enter a shrink tunnel. The shrink tunnel uses heated air or infrared radiation to apply controlled heat to the film. The heat causes the film to shrink tightly around the box, conforming to its shape and creating a tight, protective seal.
  7. Cooling and Discharge: As the boxes exit the shrink tunnel, they pass through a cooling section where the film cools and solidifies, ensuring a secure and tamper-evident seal. Finally, the wrapped and cooled boxes are discharged from the machine for further handling or storage.
