Shrink wrapping for glass
Pallet shrink packaging systems - Efficient packaging solutions for the glass industry
The quality requirements for beverage and food packaging are steadily increasing. This also applies to the manufacturer of bottles and glasses.
MSK shrink packaging machines offers the glass industry a cost-effective range of packaging solutions - with very good product security against damage or contamination and in compliance with the quality requirements DIN ISO 9000.
MSK pallet shrink wrap machines and procedures for the packaging systems of glass lines consider crucial criteria:
- High load safety during product transport
- Protection against moisture and dirt
- Easy maintenance for minimum down times
- Reduced energy consumption - up to 40% less gas consumption
- Reduced material costs - film saving in spite of a high standard of safety
Shrink wrap machine MSK Paratech
The hood applicator with the parachute principle
The unique Paratech is to date the most sold shrink hood applicator. The secret of its success lies in the simplicity and the exceptional ease of maintenance of the machine.
ADVANTAGES:
- Floor-level system for minimal machine downtime
- Transversal flow of pallet without additional movements
- Easy maintenance and high user-friendliness
- Highest safety standards
- Film roll replacement outside the machine safety area
- High reliability as film is opened only once per roll
- Fully recyclable films, and films made of recycled materials available
- Energy consumption less than 8 % of film costs
- Optional: Version with maintenance-free timing belts
Shrink wrap machine MSK Multitech
The packaging solution with the highest level of flexibility
If equipment is flexible and space-saving, easily adaptable to varying products and processes, the existing production area can be used far more efficiently. The machine has a compact design, it can process up to six film formats or thicknesses fully automatically and run any opening dimensions flexibly.
The tried and tested MSK shrink wrap system grants a perfect pass fit as well as a non-contact application of the film hood, which facilitates the use of thinnest films. The machine head can be lowered to working level thus enabling easy and fast maintenance without a lifting platform or ladders.
ADVANTAGES:
- Highest load and transport safety for your product, using mono-material packaging
- Excellent protection against moisture and dirt
- Compact design - Less space required
- Use of the thinnest films due to no-contact application
- Simple maintenance thanks to lowerable machine head
- Highest safety standards
- Film roll replacement outside the machine safety area
- Energy consumption less than 8 % of film costs
Lowerable machine head (EP 2 336 034) for easy maintenance and replacement of the welding bar
The machine head of the Multitech can be lowered to operator level. Floor-level access without platforms or ladders on MSK packaging systems offers a high level of operator and maintenance friendliness. This makes equipment maintenance simpler and faster.
Pallet shrink wrapping with hot air
MSK shrink packaging systems are characterized in particular by the gentle warmth dosing of the MSK shrink frame: They ensure the preservation of the elasticity and the fatigue strength of the film during long storage periods.
Advantages:
- MSK shrink frames are particularly operationally secure and they require very little maintenance
- Suitable for the use of thin films
- Reliable welding of bottom film or product covering film
- Modern and certified safety system (DVGW certified) with air and gas pressure monitoring
- Maintenance-free MSK heating elements with 5 years warranty
Safe and sustainable MSK shrink frames
More than 1,000 MSK shrink frames sold in the glass industry
Efficient MSK technology
A special MSK mixed air system heats the film precisely and gently. This preserved the film's elasticity and fatigue resistance. MSK heat recycling thereby ensures optimal energy efficiency. We offer 5 years of warranty for our maintenance free MSK heating elements.
Combination of the collar shrink process and bottom sheet for a six-sided protection
The combination of the collar shrink process and bottom sheet provides six-sided protection of the pallet load. The ingress of dust and dirt can thus be prevented. An MSK pallet dressing line provides the empty pallets with the bottom film sheet before the glass containers are palletized.
Film-free pallet feet with MSK Formtech
Developed and patented by MSK, the Formtech (EP 3 147 226) provides film forming between the pallet blocks, which allows for the automated pallet handling in high-bay storage systems. AGV's and automated truck loading systems.
MSK Undershrink-system
Hardly any procedure has influenced pallet shrink packaging as much as the MSK Undershrink system. This MSK principle which was patented in the eighties has lead to a significant reduction of the film thickness in the packaging of glass.
In conjunction with the MSK Anti-collage-procedure the undershrink system enables acrease-free shrinkage of the packaging film. The MSK Undershrink system adjusts itself automatically to the pallet contour during pallet packaging to ensure a safe release of the pallet. Deep under the pallet runner, the shrink-wrap develops its maximum strength, thus offering an optimal load stability.
Energy-saving Covershrink module
The patented Covershrink (EP 2 740 673 B1) reduces the gas consumption of an MSK shrink packaging system by up to 40 %, depending on film thickness and pallet format. In addition, it helps ensure noticeably reduced noise emissions.
Shrink wrapping with electric heating system
The electric shrink frame model Corritech with eCovershrink works completely without the use of gas, helping companies on their way to climate neutrality. This allows highly stable shrink wrapping to be realized while sustainably waiving fossil fuels - without compromises.
Labelling after shrink wrapping
By integrating a standard labelling system after the shrink wrapping process, all pallets can be tracked seamlessly on their way to the storage or shipping area.
Customized packaging processes
Thanks to various packaging programs within the database, different types of pallet loads can be packaged individually. Depending on the product to be packaged, the packaging program is readily available within the EMSY software.
