Shrink sleeving specialist DFC Packaging has extended its wrapping machinery after teaming up with a leading Asian manufacturer to produce a new range of shrink wrapping equipment.
While keeping the identity of the Asian partner under wraps, DFC says the collaborator is one of the continent's leading innovators and manufacturers in Asia with 17 years of experience.
“The manufacturer is one of the largest of its type in Asia and through innovation and quality has managed to become a supplier who builds precision machinery time after time,” DFC’s national sales manager, Rod Ferguson, says.
He says that as a result of the collaboration, the company can manufacture a wide range of packaging machines from semi-automatic L-bar sealers to continuous motion side sealers in Australia.
“All components are laser cut and milled to ensure the customer receives the same exact quality build with every machine,” Ferguson says.
The semi-automatic range of machinery is designed around sturdy construction while still being easy to install and operate.
These machines are available with either manual or pneumatic sealing heads with a range of heat shrink tunnels to suit.
The automatic L-bar sealers, meanwhile, are available in the traditional scissor action seal head and also with a newly patented vertical seal head motion, which allows for faster pack speeds, ranging up to 40 packs per minute, depending on the product being sealed.
“The new side sealer continuous motion machine is suited to those who require greater pack speeds per minute,” Ferguson says.
“Our HS-400 model allows you to achieve up to 120 packs per minute, product dependent.
“These machines are suited for both bag only or shrink packing when matched up with a suitable high speed shrink tunnel.“
He says the collaboration project has also enabled DFC to expand its offerings of ancillary equipment for specific applications.
“Through the manufacturer’s vast experience we can offer a wide range of add-on ancillary components to assist in automatic feeding and pack presentation,” Ferguson says.
