Each of Douglas’ new wraparound packaging machines are designed to meet the evolving needs of manufacturers seeking seamless, high-speed, and cost-effective wraparound packaging options.
Key innovations of the OPTX Wraparound Series include:
• Corrugated Blank Feeding & Pack Forming: Size range is efficiently managed via a reciprocating case and tray feeder. The simplified product metering system improves access and reduces maintenance by eliminating chains and more. Seamless merging and loading provides precise control of both product and corrugated materials.
• Positive Product Control: Tippy products can be controlled through a front containment option. A product hold-down option can aid in stabilization of light product during case forming.
• Compression Reliability: The wraparound series features double-pitch heavy duty #60 chain and hardened chain components. Its compression design offsets the effects of chain stretch, compensating for wear and maintaining quality case compression throughout the life of your chains.
• Simplified Delivery to Downstream Shrink Wrapping: Wide-side leading tray orientation simplifies delivery to downstream shrink wrapping, if appliable.
