Lower bonding

In the demanding world of industrial packaging, every detail counts. To ensure reliable, efficient packaging that is perfectly suited to modern logistics, ETPACK offers innovative overwrapping solutions. These include EcoWrap shrink-wrapper with bottom gluing is distinguished by its robustness, precision and ability to handle the highest speeds. Designed to optimise the grouping of products in a cardboard case, this machine combines technical performance with logistical savings. It is aimed at manufacturers keen to improve the quality of their overwrapping while streamlining their production process.

How does a bottom seal overwrapper work?

La EcoWrap shrink-wrapper with bottom gluing works on the principle of automatic product grouping, followed by the formation and sealing of a cardboard box by gluing. Specially designed for the secondary packaging, it packages single products (bottles, jars, flasks, cans, etc.) or batches.

The cycle begins by feeding the products onto a motorised conveyor, which aligns the items in a synchronised fashion. Once grouped together, the products are transferred to a forming cell where a cardboard blank is applied. The carton is then shaped around the batch of products. The bottom flaps of the carton are precisely sealed with glue, ensuring a firm and durable hold.

This type of overwrapper is generally equipped with motorised adjustment systems to enable rapid format changes without the need for tools. The PLC controls the entire machine, with an intuitive touch screen enabling the operator to set the speed, format and gluing temperature.

The advantages of lower bonding

Opt for a wrapping machine with bottom gluingis to make the choosing stability and logistical efficiency. This method offers a number of decisive advantages for manufacturers:

• Optimum package retention The bottom gluing ensures uniform load retention. The batch is held securely at the base, which prevents any deformation of the packaging, even during repeated handling.
• Enhanced stability during transport A case glued at the bottom provides a stable base, reducing the risk of tipping or slipping on conveyors, pallets or during road transport.
• Easy palletisation The result is homogeneous, compact packages that are much easier to stack. The result is higher pallet load density, greater security and lower logistics costs.
• Aesthetic packaging Bottom gluing: unlike other techniques such as side gluing, bottom gluing does not compromise the legibility of the visible sides of the case. This means that the front of the case remains neat and tidy, ideal for products destined for mass distribution.
• Flexibility to adapt This type of overwrapper can be adapted to a wide range of formats, products and speeds. It can be integrated into existing production lines or form part of a complete packaging solution.

Thanks to ETPACK's expertise, each machine is configured to meet the customer's specific requirements: carton dimensions, product types, target output, safety constraints, etc.
