Tray handling.

 

 

 
 

To 

avoid 

tray 

shaking 

and 

excessive 

deceleration  and  acceleration  of  the  product 
inside  the  tray,  the  handling  is  extremely 
smooth and accurate. 

 
 
 
 
 

 
Trays  are  moved  from  the  smart  belt  to  the 
sealing station through moving arms, which are 
gripping  the  group  from  the  side.  These  arms 
are  controlled  by  a  servomotor  system,  whose 
main characteristics are smoothness, high speed, 
consistency,  accuracy  and  extremely  low 
maintenance  and  by  a  long-stroke  pneumatic 
piston  for  the  rotation  to  allow  a  very  good 
smoothness and a wide range of settings. 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Film unwinding and waste rewind.

 

 

 
Film  saving  and  reliable  continuous  run  are  at 
the  base  of  the  development  of  the  system 
incorporated  in  this  tray  sealer.  The  reel  is 
positioned  on  a  cantilever  shaft  which  is 
connected  to  a  servomotor.  Film  is  kept  in 
tension  through  several  shafts,  which  are 
supported both sides to avoid any misalignment. 
A  dancing  bar  keeps  a  constant  tension  on  the 
film during the unwinding.  
The  film  is  pulled  through  the  tool  via  two 
counter rotary rollers, controlled by an electrical 
motor, which allows smooth pulling to reach the 
maximum  waste  savings.  A  clutch  controls  the 
tension  on  the  continuous  running  film  waste 
rewind.
