Qimarox introduces standard, high capacity OEM Ring Wrapper
Easy to use and maintain, low in price
Qimarox has released a fast and reliable shrink wrapper, which, like its palletising modules, are sold exclusively to OEMs and system integrators. This versatile ring wrapper can reliably wrap up to 100 pallets in foil per hour. Because the OEM Ring Wrapper can be easily integrated in combination with the palletising modules of Qimarox, the integration and hardware costs of final packaging lines are even further reduced.
Qimarox’s Highrunner mk7 is a modular, serially produced palletiser, which is often used in conjunction with a shrink wrapper. Expanding the product range with a standard ring wrapper will reduce integration and hardware costs even further. After all, similar to its palletising modules and other components, Qimarox’s OEM Ring Wrapper is supplied without a control system. This allows system integrators to combine the control system of both the palletiser, the ring wrapper and any other system components in a single control unit.
Qimarox distinguishes itself from other material handling manufacturers who deliver their components with control cabinet as standard. The result of this is that each component of a packaging line from these other suppliers has its own completely unnecessary control unit, while a single control box for the entire system would in principle suffice. The Qimarox components furthermore allow system integrators to simplify the control and integration of the various components.
The OEM Ring Wrapper is a ring wrapper with a steel construction resting on four columns. The result is a shrink wrapper which is more stable and robust than turntable or rotary arm wrappers, which is therefore able to reach higher speeds of up to 100 pallets per hour. The OEM Ring Wrapper is provided with a special pre-stretch system, which can stretch the film by 300%. Partly because the foil is applied under constant tension and batched, relatively little film is needed for stabilisation of the load. Because the film rotates, even the most unstable of stacked pallets can also be easily wrapped in foil.
The OEM Ring Wrapper can start and stop wrapping at any height, so that stacked pallets can also be stabilised separately, for example. The special film welding and cutting system applies a double welded seam at a controlled temperature and welding time, which makes for perfectly wrapped pallets with no loose bits of foil hanging off them. This means that these pallets won’t cause problems in automated storage systems. The OEM Ring Wrapper also has an option for automatically applying a cover sheet, so the pallets can be made dustproof, or even waterproof.
Its unique design makes the OEM Ring Wrapper very easy to use and maintain and cheap to buy. The optional automatic system for the exchange of film rolls helps avoid unnecessary downtime of the machine. Because the OEM Ring Wrapper is a standardised machine, the production costs and therefore also the purchase costs are low in comparison with similar shrink wrappers.
