PA - Acepak TR30 Tray Former with PAFB Shrinkwrapper

• Forming trays and shrink-wrapping products for retail display or transit.
• Packaging food products such as tins, jars, and cartons.
• Bundling multiple items into a single, film-wrapped pack.
• Automating end-of-line packaging processes for various industries.
• Securing products for improved stability and protection during logistics.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 10 to 30 packs per minute, depending on product size and configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage.

Air supply

Pneumatic systems are often integrated, requiring a clean, dry compressed air supply, typically around 6-8 bar.

Tray former type

This unit is designed for wrap-around tray forming, creating a base tray around the product.

Shrinkwrapper type

Includes an integrated shrinkwrapper and heat tunnel for film application and shrinking.

Control system

Modern units like this typically feature PLC control, often with an HMI for user interaction.

Adhesive system

Hot melt glue systems, such as Nordson Miniblue, are commonly used for tray forming.

Footprint

Combined tray former and shrinkwrapper systems typically require a significant linear footprint, often several metres in length.

• What types of products can this machine pack?

  This machine is suitable for packing various stable products that can be grouped into sets, such as tins, jars, bottles, or cartons, which can then have a tray formed around them and be shrink-wrapped.

• What kind of film does the shrinkwrapper use?

• Is tooling included for different product sizes?

• What level of operator skill is required?

• What are the typical maintenance requirements?

• Can this machine be integrated into an existing production line?

Used sealing machines are generally valued for their durability and long operational life. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and minimal wear on sealing components. Key considerations include film compatibility, seal quality consistency, and ease of adjustment. Reputable models tend to retain functionality well across multiple applications. Industry sentiment suggests these machines offer strong value when sourced from reliable vendors, though operators should verify calibration settings and test seal integrity before full production use.
