Sealed Air to show off speedy and versatile shrink-wrappers at Ipex

Sealed Air is launching what it calls Europes most flexible and efficient shrink-wrapping kit, as well as a number of other machines, at Ipex.

The Shanklin Omni (pictured) will be priced between 40,000-60,000 and can be tweaked for several applications, said a company spokeswoman.

"It's good for contract packers and printers that handle different products and need quick changeover times."

The Omni G is a traditional drive-based unit running at 80 cycles a minute. Its sister machine, the Omni S, uses a servo-driven end sealer for faster speeds, and is capable of 100 cycles a minute.

Each comes with a range of "plug-and-play feed-in modules" to maximise speed and flexibility, said the firm.

Sealed Air will also show the 10-pack-per-minute Opti 2100A semi-automatic shrink-wrapper and a modular Pfankuch ASB 450K friction feeder, billed as "not a typical one-size-fits-all feeder".

The Pfankuch can be used for separating, counting and feeding flat products made of paper, cardboard and plastic up to 8mm thick.
