Standard method of preparation for domestic shipment. Heavy duty wooden skid is constructed specifically based on the systems dimensions, machinery is lagged to the skid with bolts so it will not shift in transit, and the system is then wrapped in transparent stretch wrap so the truckers and handlers can see the items being moved. Peripheral items and tooling are wrapped and boxed and securely mounted to the skid. Machinery is then shipped via air ride van lines, not common carrier. Benefit: equipment arrives in good condition ready for installation.

Also known as Band Locating Rollers, these are rubber disks mounted on variable speed motors which insure the label is fully seated down to the conveyor. Benefit: increase label application efficiency by assisting in placement.

Stainless steel chambers of various lengths and types of heat used to shrink the sleeves once they are applied to the package. Heat sources include convection hot air, radiant infra-red and steam. See specific model information for specifications and more details.

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.
