Kempner

• Used for packaging individual or grouped products in a protective and tamper-evident shrink film.
• Commonly found in food processing for items like baked goods, ready meals, and frozen products.
• Utilised in e-commerce and logistics for securing items during transit and improving presentation.
• Applicable in the pharmaceutical sector for packaging medicines and medical devices.
• Suitable for packaging various retail goods, including stationery, toys, and small electronics.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput typically ranges from 10 to 30 packs per minute, depending on product size and operator efficiency.

Power supply

L-sealers and shrink wrappers commonly require a single-phase 220-240V, 50Hz electrical connection, though some larger units may need three-phase.

Maximum product dimensions

Units of this type typically accommodate products with a maximum height of up to 250mm, with varying lengths and widths depending on the specific model's sealing area.

Film compatibility

These machines are generally compatible with various shrink films, including PVC, POF (polyolefin), and PE (polyethylene), in different gauges.

Footprint

A typical L-sealer and shrink tunnel combination requires a footprint of approximately 2 to 4 square metres, including space for operation and maintenance.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning sealing wires, checking conveyor belts, and inspecting heating elements for optimal performance.
