Automatic tray sealing machines are widely used in packaging lines, producing high-quality and flawless packaging. Their precise design ensures that the packaging film is uniformly stretched and guided into the mold, enabling an accurate and defect-free packaging process.
In these machines, plastic film is continuously pulled from a film roll, guided by rollers, and directed into the mold. This process is designed to prevent any wrinkles or misalignment in the film. A critical component of these machines is the waste collection system, which removes excess film from the machine after cutting or separating the packaging.
Waste Collector System Design
The waste collector system in tray sealers must be designed to quickly and efficiently remove film waste from the machine. Precision in film movement and the prevention of misalignment are crucial in this process. Key features of the waste collector system include:
Accurate Film Movement
The waste collector system ensures precise film guidance. The film must be perfectly aligned with the mold, with no deviation during its movement. To achieve this, the guiding rollers are meticulously designed to stretch and guide the film smoothly, without wrinkles or misalignment.
Adjustable Tension Control
To prevent film tearing or improper collection, the machine is designed to adjust the film tension according to its thickness. These adjustments, which can be easily controlled by the operator, ensure optimal tension for different film types, preventing defects.
Graduated Air Shaft
The film roll is supported by a graduated air shaft equipped with clamps that securely hold the roll. This shaft allows operators to adjust the film position precisely, ensuring uniform and defect-free film movement.
Mechanical Brake System
The mechanical brake system allows operators to finely adjust film tension, preventing issues like tearing or improper waste collection. This precision enhances the overall efficiency of the machine.
Operation of the Waste Collector System
The waste collector system in tray sealers efficiently removes excess film from the machine. It applies precise tension to the film, guiding it smoothly to the waste collection shaft, where it is easily discharged. This system is designed to operate seamlessly, ensuring that waste film does not disrupt the packaging process.
A standout feature of the system is the quick and easy opening and closing of the waste collection shaft. This feature enables operators to remove film waste effortlessly, maintaining the uninterrupted flow of packaging operations.
Film Guiding Rollers
The guiding rollers play a vital role in controlling the film's movement. Designed with precision, these rollers ensure the film moves smoothly and evenly, avoiding wrinkles or misalignment. High-quality bearings within the rollers enable smooth and accurate movement, enhancing the machine’s performance.
