FAQ – Automatic Overlap Shrink Wrapper
Before Starting a Project
At what output does this solution become relevant?
This shrink wrapper generally becomes relevant from around 20 packs per minute, depending on the product type, pack configuration and production organisation.
Can it be integrated into an existing line?
Yes. Its automatic infeed enables autonomous operation and facilitates integration into an existing packaging line. The layout study takes into account the direction of product flow, available conveyors, upstream and downstream speeds, and available space.

Technical Questions
What is an automatic overlap shrink wrapper?
An automatic overlap shrink wrapper groups products into packs, continuously wraps them in shrink film and then transfers them to a shrink tunnel. This overlap design, without a sealing bar, is particularly suitable for printed shrink films.
What products is this shrink wrapper suitable for?
This shrink wrapper is suitable for containers, bottles, jerrycans, boxes, pots, cans, trays and pet food products. It can be configured according to the shape, stability and size of the products and the number of units required per pack.
At what output should an overlap shrink wrapper be considered?
This type of shrink wrapper is particularly relevant from around 20 packs per minute. Depending on the line configuration and number of lanes, the machine can achieve high outputs of up to 50 packs per minute.
Is this shrink wrapper suitable for fragile or unstable products?
Yes. Multi-lane distribution and progressive pack formation are well suited to fragile or unstable products because they minimise interruptions in product flow and ensure consistent grouping before film wrapping.
Can printed shrink film be used?
Yes. The automatic overlap shrink wrapper is designed to run printed shrink films, helping improve pack presentation and product identification in retail or logistics applications.
Can the machine be customised to suit the production line?
Yes. Infeed systems and machine configurations can be customised according to the products, pack format, target output and packaging-line layout.
How can I obtain a configuration suited to my requirements?
Simply provide PROPACK with the product formats, number of products per pack, required output, film type and layout constraints. These details allow us to define the most suitable shrink-wrapping solution.
