New Audion Elektro shrink wrapper cuts downtime

Shrink wrapping kit manufacturer Audion Elektro has introduced the AudionShrink Combi system that it says cuts maintenance needs.

Two model sizes, the LT 470 and LT 670, combine a heavy duty L-bar sealer and shrink tunnel for packing, sealing and shrinking products.

They can be used with a variety of films due to their precise temperature and speed controls, according to the manufacturer.

The devices minimise maintenance and eliminate the need for a hot-knife seal bar by incorporating a seal wire temperature control system, providing strong seals and increased life of the wire.

Another key feature, according to the manufacturer, is a convenient scrap drop-and-collection area for trimmed film, which cuts clean-up times, while a single adjustable height control for the product take-away and tunnel conveyors smoothes product transfer.

According to UK agent Friedheim International: "The robust design and use of integrated controls provide improved cost efficiencies due to greater productivity and reduced downtimes as a result of the minimal maintenance needed."
