Beck launches new version of Serienpacker
As well as celebrating 50 years of wrapping excellence (on 9 May 2010), Beck Packautomaten also announced a major upgrade of its Serienpacker series by adding four-sided product sealing, greater efficiency, cost savings and higher versatility to its already impressive list of features.
New electronically controlled drive systems for cross and side sealing, a larger working width range, significantly reduced energy consumption, minimal floor space and a cost-saving film processing system that allows the use of extremely thin films, all go to making the new generation Serienpacker S 850 XJ a technically advanced wrapping machine.
Particular effort has been made to ensure that the new Serienpacker S 850 XJ provides optimal welding seams to achieve distortion-free and skin-tight packaging, no matter whether using PE, polyolefin and polypropylene films.
Moreover, owing to modifications in the sealing and transport areas the machine can be operated without compressed air. It is also possible to shut off components that are temporarily not required, which can help to significantly reduce energy costs.
Design and construction has been optimised, resulting in a much smaller packaging machine and a considerable reduction in floor space. The size of the control cabinet has been reduced by one third, the film rolls integrated into the casing, and the versatile transport conveyors, which allow products to be fed either by hand or fully automatically, have been re-designed in order to save space.
The touch panel now allows even easier adjustment of the Serienpacker S 850 XJ and quicker changeovers between jobs. Icons guide the operator and make using the machine much easier. Packaging data is calculated automatically and then stored in a memory - it has never been simpler to enter and retrieve packaging data!
The Multiplex pico is a versatile, fully automatic film packaging machine for three-sided product sealing and standard applications. It has the smallest space requirement in its class, and provides perfect accessibility for adjustments, maintenance, job changeovers and film changes. With its short set-up times and maximum operator convenience, it is the ideal machine for jobs requiring frequent product changes, and is capable of packing short and long products in mixed production without any changeovers.
The Serienpacker SX series is available with three versions of feeder: conveyor, twin infeed conveyor and grab feeding system. Accessories for even greater flexibility are available for producing flap bags with adhesive closing, or for producing suspension packs with hole in accordance with individual country specifications.
The Multiplex MPX series features three-sided sealing using centre-folded and/or flat films, and this is ideal for handling either narrow, long, round or flat products, as well as promotional packs. Multiplex packing machines include a product data memory for rapid size changeover with repeat accuracy.
Both the Fitpacker (a form shoulder machine with versatile applications for first-class film packaging) and the Fitpacker Junior (form shoulder packaging machine for waste-free wrapping) are particularly suitable for voluminous and odd-shaped products.
If higher speeds are required for high output packaging there is the Mobilpacker (an automatic packaging machine with moveable cross-sealing unit), the Sammelpacker (a mobile high-output shrink sleeve machine for all kinds of individual packs and collated packs, and featuring special purpose collation and grouping stations), and the Variant (a high-capacity film sleeve wrapping machine ideally suited to handling heavy-duty products, which incorporates customised collation, grouping and feeding systems).
For the inserting and film wrapping of printed products the Beck Print Liner Moduline insertion and foil wrapping system is based on a modular design, resulting in the cost-effective processing of small to medium size production runs, up to a maximum output of 600 products per hour. The system boasts fast changeover times plus great flexibility in the system set-up, and numerous optional modules are available to provide even greater autonomy and economy.
All machines in Beck Packautomaten’s range of film packaging equipment are capable of handling products of many different shapes, sizes and weights. It is simply a case of choosing the machine type that best suits your particular requirements. If required for your production process, Beck can also supply a high-capacity heat shrink tunnel that can be fitted to work in-line with any of the above film packaging machines, or alternatively can be used as a stand-alone unit.
