For us, the extraordinary is routine.

Another significant advantage of purchasing a packaging machine from Pactur is having access to our entire technical team for possible customizations tailored to the specific type of products you need to package. At our core, we are fundamentally a craft-based company, and each machine is built as if it were a unique piece, from the welding of the metal framework (see published article) to the assembly of individual mechanical and electronic components. For us, creating special packaging machines or scaling up our models to produce extra-large formats is almost “routine.”

140 LINE for Huge Escavators

The following video shows how a 65 LINE can become a maxi format (140 LINE) for a customer who has to pack non-standard size O-Rings for huge excavators.

New Application of the Auto 80/L & TL80M Model for Large Formats

Here is an interesting application of packaging using an automatic shrink wrapping machine equipped with a continuous sealing system, designed for medium to large-sized products. This solution serves as an alternative to packaging with semi-automatic and automatic sleeve wrapping machines.

As shown in the attached video, the products in question are bulky, heavy, irregularly shaped, and are commonly packaged using a sleeve wrapper. However, sleeve wrapping has the disadvantage that the shrink film does not completely wrap the product, leaving the package open on some sides.

Although Pactur also manufactures sleeve wrappers, offering a range of semi-automatic and automatic models, in this case, the company addressed a specific aesthetic and qualitative need of its customer by using an automatic overwrapping machine to achieve full closure packaging.

The result is a highly refined and compact package.

When analyzing the pros and cons of this solution, it is worth noting that handling the finished package is more labor-intensive compared to packages produced by a sleeve wrapper, where the side openings in the shrink film make the package easier to grip.

On the other hand, two significant advantages of packaging with an automatic shrink wrapping machine featuring a continuous sealing system stand out: the superior aesthetic result, already highlighted above, and the high productivity achieved by this type of automatic machine.

For the sake of completeness, it is essential to mention that the maximum product height is a key limiting factor: if the product height exceeds 300–350 mm, a semi-automatic or automatic sleeve wrapper becomes the only viable packaging solution within Pactur’s range of overwrapping machines.

Another noteworthy advantage of the continuous sealing shrink wrapping machine and its fully enclosed packaging (enclosed because the film is sealed on three sides and folded on one) is product security: if the package remains intact, with no visible signs of damage or holes in the film, it guarantees that the product inside has not been touched or partially removed.

Finally, the automatic packaging machine with a lateral rotary sealer and transverse sealing bar achieves high productivity thanks to the synchronized speed of the longitudinal sealing wheels with the conveyor belts and film unwinding system, and the fast guillotine-like motion of the transverse sealing bar, whose opening can be adjusted based on the product height.
