Pack stretch wrapping machine, no shrink tunnel: EvoFilm Stretch│Sidel

EvoFilm Stretch

EvoFilm Stretch is Sidel's pack stretch wrapping machine. Performed at ambient temperature, with no shrink tunnel required, stretch wrapping offers huge plastic and energy savings that support both your bottom line and your sustainability goals.

Why plastic film for secondary packaging

Plastic film continues to be an ideal material for secondary packaging thanks to its best-in-class lightness and density ratio per selling unit. Film-to-film recyclability and reduced greenhouse gas impacts are major benefits when completing the full film life cycle analysis.

Stretch wrapping instead of shrink wrapping

While shrink wrapping is the most common solution, stretch wrapping technology now offers revolutionary results. Because the process is performed at ambient temperature, no shrink tunnel is required: this delivers significant plastic and energy savings.

Modular platform: from 1 to 4 modules

EvoFilm Stretch is built on a modular platform that can be configured from 1 to 4 modules.

Features

Modular platform: from 1 to 4 modules

Different speed and application requirements available: from 20 to 80 packs/minute
Working principle:
- Infeed via belt conveyors: mass flow or lanes with an upstream divider
- Product collation and transfer, inside the clamps, done by servo-driven top pusher
- Clamps holding the full batch
- Film applied around the product batch thanks to the clamp rotation
Extractable sliding film table on rollers for easy access

All Containers: round or shaped bottles (PET, HDPE, Glass), Cans, Cartons, Clusters, “Topclip” cardboards, from 0.1 to 8 liters
Technology compatible with products in bulk, in multipacks or in trays
Possibility to have packs closed on 2 or 4 sides
Multiple infeed and outfeed configurations for easy insertion on existing lines
User-friendly film splicing with a 60-second module stop, but without stopping the other modules
User-friendly tool-free manual format changeover in 12 minutes/module

Greater film and pack adhesion
- Highly stable pallets for more efficient warehouse and transport handling
- Removal of pallet interlayers in certain cases
Complies with the Eumos (European Safe Logistics Association) standards
Potential removal of the corrugated support (tray or pad) for transit/logistic packs or multipacks, thanks to the increased stretch film resistance
