Combined packers with in-line infeed for plastic and glass containers
Streamline your packaging process with a versatile solution that expertly combines wrap-around packing and shrink wrapping, ensuring efficient handling of various container types and configurations to optimize throughput and reduce downtime.
Packs, Wraps, and Shrink Wraps Multi-Container Formats
The LCM ERGON Series from SMI integrates the capabilities of wrap-around packers and shrink wrappers in a single unit, adept at packaging diverse containers like plastic, metal, cardboard, and glass. This series excels with versatile configurations for varying product sizes, supporting setups like 2×3 and 3×4 arrangements. Achieving speeds of up to 40 packs per minute, the machines feature a mechanical product-grouping system with a choice between in-line or 90° in-feed conveyor setups. Designed for operational efficiency, these machines boast energy-saving ICOS brushless motors, and the absence of gearboxes reduces maintenance and noise. The LCM ERGON’s modular design allows for seamless integration into existing production lines, complemented by a user-friendly POSYC® control panel. Added features like motorized film cutting, electronic tensioning, and robust hot-glue sealing ensure durable, precisely wrapped packages, making it ideal for industries such as beverage, food, and consumer goods manufacturing.
