The new SLX full body sleeve and tamper evident applicator, built to PackML standards, is built for high-speed production. The SLX applicator features the new Rockwell CompactLogix 5380 PLC, a Rockwell 5500 HMI, and five different servo motors. The SLX also has a high-precision SLT film-delivery system, with an improved web tension system for superior film control, and a new digital-format monitoring system for quick, error-free changeover. The SLX is capable of handling film thicknesses from 25 to 70 microns. At Pack Expo, the SLX demonstration shows a full-body sleeve application at production speeds greater than 800 bottles per minute using 30-micron film.
