The KHS-INNOPACK Kisters TSP A-H-TPFO is built to handle quick changes in your packaging lines.
It is the next gen option for both sustainability and usage flexibility. Increased flexibility translates as: 'saves costs during production'.
This packer in the Advanced series is designed to deal with all kinds of containers and packs - classic cans, glass and plastic containers as well as individually formed packs and pre-packed product groups. It can convert products into either tray packs, tray shrink packs, pad shrink packs or shrink packs.
The machine is modular to meet future needs. Extra modules are easy to add.
One of the new features making a first-time appearance at interpack is the conveyor belt situated above the folding and setting station. When changing over to the formation of shrink packs only, the conveyor belt can be automatically lowered at the press of a button, thus boosting machine efficiency. To date the appropriate conveying facilities had to be inserted manually, taking about twice the time.
Another is that fully-enclosed film packs of PET bottles (shrink packs without bull's eyes) can be produced for the first time with the help of a specially constructed manipulation unit. This type of packaging may be used for both glass and PET bottles and also for cans. Among its many advantages are that fully-enclosed shrink packs more or less eliminate the accidental displacement of containers. When used to create large-format shrink packs, material is also specifically saved, as the stability of the fully-enclosed pack removes the need for trays and/or pads that had to be shipped, stored or handled previously.
The third refinement is the film spreader upstream of the film cutting and film wrapping stations, where air pressure is applied to diverter rails made of a microporous material. The air here flows through very fine hairline cracks and not through larger holes, as was previously the case. Less compressed air is needed now, the air lubricating film is much more even, and reductions of up to 90% in the amount of compressed air required are possible.
The KHS-INNOPACK Kisters TSP A-H-TPFO also uses the newly developed KHS ClearLine design to meet various safety, ergonomic and aesthetic specification. And user-friendly machine operator prompting is provided with simple buttons, colored graphics, easy-to-remember icons and interactive handling instructions.
