Film shrink wrappers with 90° infeed
Easily adapt to compact spaces while efficiently wrapping various container shapes, from bottles to jars, with our film shrink wrappers. Perfect for streamlining your end-of-line packaging operations with precise, high-speed integration and minimal changeover disruption.
Packs and Shrinks Various Container Shapes
The ASW 80-I ERGON series from SMI is a compact and versatile solution for high-speed packaging, accommodating a variety of container shapes, such as bottles, jars, and cans. This film shrink wrapper stands out with its single-lane 90° infeed, facilitating seamless integration into existing production lines by optimizing the laning and feeding of loose containers. Capable of packing up to 80 introductions per minute, it suits diverse industries, including food, beverage, and consumer goods.
Its continuous motion and brushless motor-driven dosing belts ensure precise pack formation, while the innovative film cutting and wrapping system maintains product integrity and stability. The ASW models offer flexible configurations using film only, cardboard pad with film, tray with film, or tray alone, supporting a range of packaging materials and thicknesses.
Equipped with energy-efficient brushless motors and an intelligent shrink tunnel design, these machines reduce energy consumption and enhance environmental compatibility. Maintenance is streamlined with ergonomic features like sliding protection doors and an easily accessible cardboard magazine.
With options for remote monitoring via a user-friendly POSYC® control panel, the ASW 80-I ERGON series provides customizable packaging solutions tailored to meet specific production demands, supported by comprehensive engineering assistance for seamless system integration and optimization.
