Shanklin S-5CL

Extra Large Packages Extra Heavy Packages
Heavy Duty Discharge Conveyor Optional Air Table Loading Platform

The SHANKLIN Model S-5CL High Production L-Sealer is designed especially to shrink wrap extra large packages and extra heavy duty packages with a minimum of operator fatigue. All components of the machine are ruggedly built to provide years of dependale services under these severe conditions. The three-point arm sealing suspension (bearings at the ends with a locking cam at the front) provides precision alignment of the sealing jaws. Because the product travels through the machine in a straight line, the loading table can be shorter and the machine will fit more compactly into your packaging line.

Higher packaging speeds are made possible by several unique features of the Model S-5CL. The power film unwind reduces operator fatigue and the film inverting head provides an opening in the film to receive the product. The operation of the sealing head, sealing cycle and product take-away are fully automatic. In fact, the take-away conveyor runs while the product is being loaded in to the sealing area, thereby reducing operator effort.

An air table loading platform (optional extra) is available to assist in handling heavy product. When wrapping heavy packages, the air talble will permit an operator to move the product through the machine with almost effortless ease.

Operation
Center folded film is dispensed from a power unwind and passes over through the film inverting head which turns the film inside out leaving an opening into which the product can be inserted. With one smooth motion, the operator inserts the product into the film and moves it into the sealing area. During this operation, the discharge conveyor runs to help transport the product, and it stops automatically when the product is located in the sealing area. The operator presses two buttons to start the sealing cycle. After the seal is made, the package is automatically conveyed to the shrink tunnel. Meanwhile, the operator is passing another package through the inverting head and is moving it into the sealing area.
