The automatic shrink wrapper for cosmetic products groups several units in PE film to create neat, stable packs that are easy to handle. It is suitable for packaging lines handling containers, tubes, pots, cardboard boxes, presentation boxes and personal-care products.

Depending on your production-line configuration, products can be fed in-line or at 90°, with automatic pack formation. The machine can operate with or without a shrink tunnel, depending on the required pack appearance, expected output and product type.

PE-film shrink wrapper for the cosmetics sector

This PE-film shrink wrapper is designed for grouping and packaging cosmetic products. Versatile and multi-format, it can operate autonomously and can be easily integrated into an existing production line.

The machine is available with in-line or 90° infeed and provides automatic pack formation. Output can reach up to 20 packs per minute, depending on formats, products and the selected configuration.

It is ideal for shrink wrapping cosmetic products such as:

  • cosmetic containers,
  • cardboard boxes,
  • cream or personal-care pots,
  • cosmetic tubes,
  • presentation boxes and promotional packs.

A shrink wrapper designed for cosmetic packaging lines

Thanks to its versatile design, this shrink-wrapping machine can be used for regular production, promotional operations, frequent format changes or temporary packaging requirements. It meets cosmetics-sector requirements for presentation, pack stability and ease of integration.

How an automatic PE-film shrink wrapper works

The operating principle of an automatic PE-film shrink wrapper is based on pack formation, film wrapping and, depending on the configuration, passage through a shrink tunnel. Cosmetic products to be grouped arrive in a single lane and are conveyed by the infeed conveyor to the machine pusher.

A detection sensor checks the number of products required to form the pack. Once the required count is reached, the pusher transfers the row. This operation repeats automatically according to the required number of rows, forming a pack in the requested configuration.

Once formed, the pack is pushed against the PE film curtain and beyond the sealing bar. The bar descends to seal and cut the film around the pack. The pack can then be transferred to the shrink tunnel, producing a neat, stable package suitable for containers, tubes, pots or cardboard boxes.
