Cermex's VersaFilm provides shrink-wrapping without sealing bar

At the forthcoming Interpack exhibition in Dusseldorf, Cermex will be presenting its new range of shrink-wrappers without sealing bar called VersaFilm.

The design of the range based on a principle of modular architecture and various technical developments offers advantages in terms of costs and lead times.

It is also more innovative, quickly available, and less costly to acquire and maintain.

The design of the VersaFilm range is based on a principle of modular architecture and it is divided into three functions: product infeed, selection and lapping, film shrinking in a heat tunnel.

Instead of thinking in terms of a "machine" solution, modular architecture considers each function separately, which in the end increases tenfold the overall added value.

The modular design and the addition of numerous servo-drives have led to the removal of a large number of transmission chains, and consequently the disappearance of recurring lubricating operations.

In addition, the collating and lapping bars, which still require a traditional drive system, are equipped with a new generation of maintenance-free chains.

One operator, instead of two, is needed to dismantle the infeed and lapping belts.

Meanwhile, the streamlined kinematics and improved machine visibility (clutter-free concept) facilitate the operator's work.

The suspended, articulated, ultra-thin control panel is more accessible and less cumbersome.

The fully-transparent clean-design safety guards include ergonomic sliding doors.
