EZ-Skin / Trim Combo
Complete Skin Packaging and Die-Cutting System

EZ-Skin/Trim - Skin Packaging and Die-Cutting System

  • Space-saving, single-frame design
  • Instant on/off heaters
  • Hydraulic die cutting
  • Work/motion efficiency
  • Timer controlled repeatability
  • Requires only electrical connection

Decription

The ZED EZ-SKIN/TRIM COMBO represents a new concept in skin packaging with 18"x24" master skin cards because it combines the advantages of hydraulic die cutting with an easy to operate skin packer - both mounted to a single, space-saving frame. This new, cost-efficient system allows for maximum productivity of high quality skin package items by a single operator! Time that was formerly wasted (waiting for the film to heat) can now be used for die cutting and pack-off into shipping cartons, case packing, etc. This economically priced, completely self-contained machine requires only electrical supply for full operation.

Operation

The operator places the master skin card onto the bed of the ZED EZ-SKIN/TRIM COMBO and ...

  1. loads product, depresses the two-hand start buttons to initiate the timer controlled automatic skin cycle
  2. slides the skin packed card from the skin station to the die shuttle (Optional cut-off slits film automatically)
  3. lowers the die (which is mounted to a pivoting arm assembly) and slides the shuttle into the timer-controlled hydraulic trimmer
  4. repeats the loading/heat sequence, slides the shuttle out of the press, opens the die, and removes the finished die cut individual packages from the shuttle for packing into shipping cartons.
