Large format overwrapper for packaging multipacks of freezer bags

Marden Edwards Limited has recently supplied a large pack format overwrapper to a Canadian company which manufactures re-closable freezer bags.

The multi pack format was demanded by the end user, a world famous American retailer. The presentation of the collated product was crucial because of the requirements of minimizing shelf space used but at the same time providing as large a retail display face as possible. 

The cartons themselves were large and when collated together in a triple pack produced large bundles ideally suited to the specification of the LX300FF fully automatic overwrapper. The LX300FF is capable of wrapping with a piece of film over one metre in length and handling a pack up to 450mm wide, 450mm deep and 200mm high.

To achieve the required display face position the machine was supplied as an in-line version with the packs being automatically fed from the previous cartoning machine. The LX300FF ran at a speed of over 20 cycles per minute equating to an input speed of over 60 cartons per minute.
