Programmable and precise feed drive, standard on certain models, available as an upgrade on others, which performs fast and extremely accurate band feeding. Typically they are used for higher speed applications that require more accurate feeding than a clutch/brake (which is the standard on certain models). Benefit: Servo motors are extremely accurate and are brushless, requiring less maintenance than DC motors.

Remote welded stainless steel unit which holds two 24" unwind reels, low material sensors, material out sensor and splicing table. Separate from the machine frame, it can be parallel or perpendicular to the machine. Benefit: provides great flexibility in material unwind location for the convenience of the operators and supplying the system with consumable materials.

Additional reel station for the mounting of a second roll of sleeving material. Location may be under the conveyor or on the side of the machine. Benefit: provides for the staging of a new roll of material while the primary roll is being consumed, saving time during roll changes, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

Graduated labels and mechanical devices used to speed changeovers and machine set ups. Benefit: reduces changeover and downtime, improving productivity.

Switches which electrically interlock hinged covers. Benefit: protects operators and maintenance people from moving parts while machine is running and pauses the machine if covers are opened.

Jog switch on a coiled cord. Benefit: allows maintenance or operator to view various parts of the machine while activating the jog button for trouble shooting.

Single or dual hot air guns, wired and integrated into machine functions, which apply precise amounts of hot air onto the just-applied tamper evident seal. Used when the band and closure are larger than the body of the package and there is no natural shoulder on which the band would rest (such as banding a tapered cup and lid). The heat guns shrink the band slightly, tacking it into position so it remains in place until reaching the shrink tunnel to complete the shrinking process. Benefit: produces consistently positioned tamper evident seals on difficult packages.

Make allowances for customer specified electrical voltage controls. Benefit: allows machine installation without providing different voltages, reducing costs.

(programmable logic controller) is standard on some models, optional on others. Benefit: PLC control enables certain additional control functions, data gathering and communications with a central line computer.

Provides for the motorized pay out of the material off the roll, controlled by a transducer or switches on a vertical slide assembly or sensor reading the web in a vacuum box. Benefit: provides an even web flow without backpressure, to optimize web flow and to minimize material jams, reducing downtime.
