AUTOFARD
Automatic shrink wrapping machine for books and magazines

Quality shrink and wrapping depends on the presentation of the work to be
wrapped; to obtain a good result, the introduction of the packet must be
compact and square, the same applies if the manual introduction is not
carried out with the maximum precision.
It has always been difficult to obtain good results with saddle stitched
products, due to their rounded spine and light weight paper.


Technical Advantages

Products can be fed at 90° both from the left or right. Once the stack
reaches the plate, an electronic detector starts the pusher taking the packet
to the welding area (OMG Patent).

Problems with dog-ears and skewing of the stack, caused by pushing
against the film, are solved by a sensor which prevents the stack touching
the film.

Stopper device stops the packet and holds it during the wrapping, in
pneumatic cycle (OMG Patent) (mod. 500) (avoids the pile pushing against
the film and stops it).

Device for the automatic double stop of the packet and hold during the
wrapping, in pneumatic cycle (OMG Patent) (mod. 600) (avoids the pile
pushing against the film and stops it).

Thermal welding bar with adjustable welding time and vertical up/down
movement.

SHRINK TUNNEL: Perforated teflon conveyor belt - Adjustable rollers to
obtain a compact packet at the mini tunnel delivery - Forced air circulation
from the side, top and bottom - Electronic temperature and ventilation
adjustment – Electronic conveyor speed adjustment - Mini tunnel with
cooling fan after the shrink tunnel

Machine control by means of a PLC with display complete with fault/stoppage
indicator
