Packaging without lifting for glass and bottle industries

Secure Packaging Solutions for Bottles

Handling glass and bottle products requires careful attention to prevent damage. The SHJLPACK packaging line is engineered precisely for this, implementing a unique process where the entire packaging operation is completed without lifting the palletized product. This approach is crucial for minimizing the risk of overturning or damaging delicate goods throughout the packaging stages.

The system integrates two primary functions:

1. Horizontal Strapping: A horizontal strapping machine, such as the SHJLPACK SH-R60, is utilized early in the process. Its role is to apply strapping around each individual layer of bottles on the pallet. This action provides essential stability to the layered structure, preventing shifting before the final protective wrap is applied. This foundational stability is vital for maintaining load integrity.

2. Combined Shrink Hooding: Following the horizontal strapping, a combined machine performs the hooding and shrinking. Machines like the SHJLPACK SH-H51 are designed to apply a tubular shrink-wrap film over the entire pallet load. The film is applied with 4 grippers, ensuring a precise fit and alignment with the pallet's edge before shrinking. The shrinking process employs an advanced ring-shaped hot air generator. This technology is highly efficient, creating a snug and secure hood that conforms tightly to the load.

System Integration and Benefits

The SHJLPACK packaging line is more than just a collection of machines; it's a synchronized system. By combining and automating these separate phases, the line minimizes downtime between operations, leading to significantly high levels of productivity compared to manual or less integrated systems.

The resulting packaged load offers several important advantages:

• Enhanced Safety: The "no lifting" design inherently reduces handling risks. The stable, tightly wrapped load is safer to move and transport.
• Improved Compactness & Stability: The horizontal strapping secures layers, and the tight shrink hood eliminates the gap between the film and the product. This results in a highly compact and stable load, crucial for stacking and transportation.
• Material Savings: By applying the film precisely and shrinking it effectively, the system can reduce overall film consumption.
• Energy Efficiency: The innovative ring-shaped hot air generator optimizes the shrinking process, contributing to energy savings.

This integrated packaging solution provides a reliable and efficient method for preparing glass and bottle products for storage and transit, ensuring they arrive at their destination safely and securely.
