1.2 Machine introduction
General Information
Sleeve Wrappers
AUTOPACK series of Sleeve Wrappers, covers a family of Fully Automatic
machines designed for collating product into a desired formation, then wrapping in a
sleeve of shrinkable film. The machines are of simple modular design which permits
customizing to suit user requirements. A number of options is available which can
be installed even after the machine has been put to use.
• Oval bottle wrapping option (WLO)
This machine has a specifically designed infeed and grouping section to enable
fast and effecient handling of oval shaped products resulting in attractive and
tight packs.
Note! For best results AUTOPACK Sleeve Wrappers should be matched with
AUTOPACK Shrink Tunnels to form high efficiency shrink Packaging
Systems of unequalled versatility.
Shrink Tunnels
AUTOPACK Shrink Tunnels are available in three basic models:
•Short length tunnel (TLX) designed for slower pharmaceutical and cosmetic
packing lines or label shrinking.
•Medium to high speed general purpose tunnels (TMX) suitable for most
shrink packaging applications
•Long series, heavy duty tunnels (THX), applicable at all speeds where
thicker films and heavy packs are used.
The machines are of simple modular design permitting customized user application
requirements. AUTOPACK Shrink Tunnels have a number of operating features
which are not normally found on similar type equipment. These are:
– Quiet and efficient operation
– Small external size compared to product handling capacity
– Symmetrical, fixed air flow pattern
– Drop down bottom for easy cleaning
– Cooling station with a roller accumulation conveyor
Because of its unique air flow, AUTOPACK tunnels can be used with a variety of
films and machines such as L bar sealers, flow wrappers, but the airflow symmetry
really excess with Sleeve Wrapped product, resulting in tight, unique form pack with
small holes on either side.
1.2-1 System Used
For Wrapper
a) Control System - PLC control Inductive proximity sensors. Some models have
simple relay control option.
b) Welding Bar Motion - Pneumatic cylinder activation of welding bar and rear
pack clamp.
c) Product Pusher and Lifter if fitted - Pneumatically operated, and guided units
with clip in product plates. This allows for quick change of product and pack
size.

d) Film Welding and Cutting - Permanently heated bar with PID Electronic
temperature control. Quickly removable, welding-cutting tip ease of
maintenance. Welding bar height is adjustable with a quick-set clamp.
e) Film Feed - Centre shaft, film roll support with gravity feed, controlled by
multiloop film accumulators. AC motor driven twin roller cradle type support is
optional.
f) Film Loading - film rolls are mounted right at front of machine to facilitate ease
of loading and minimize risk of operator injury.
g) Transfer Surfaces - Collating table is lined with UHMW polyethylene to
minimize friction and wear. Outfeed table and slide are stainless steel.
h) Safety - Low pressure welding bar descent with electrical trip, two Stop
Buttons. Electrically interlocked transparent doors around collation table area.
For Tunnel
a) Control System - simple Relay/contactor circuit with some electronic control
b) Conveyor Drive - gear motor. fixed or variable speed depending on application
c) Conveyor Belt - stainless steel mesh for general purpose tunnels. STH uses
heavy duty chain with flat bars for product conveying.
d) Air Circulation - two or Four centrifugal force impellers are used to provide
symmetrical air pattern.
e) Heating - finned type air heating elements controlled by PID Electronic
Temperature control unit.
f) Outfeed accumulation conveyor - free running roller type accumulation
conveyor is provided.
g) Safety - the machine is well guarded. Where possible standard stainless
conveyor of small pitch is used. Two stop buttons are provided on either side of
the tunnel for emergency use.
1.2-2 Machine Design
AUTOPACK designers pay particular attention to specifying materials and finishes
that are durable, does not affect the packaged product and remain serviceable for
long time.
