Construction Details Make Tubular Heaters For Skin Packaging A Success
Construction Details Make Tubular Heaters For Skin Packaging A Success Situation: The contents of a package are visible, yet protected, when using skin packaging. This system immobilizes the product(s) under plastic film and seals them from contamination. To do this, a radiant heater bank is energized to soften a plastic film to a pliable, thermoformable state. This plastic film is then applied by: 1. A frame holding the film descending over the product(s) 2. A vacuum drawing the film into tight conformity with the product(s) 3. The film frame being lifted and the packaged product(s) automatically discharging from the machine, which rethreads the film 4. The equipment is then ready for the next packaging cycle Problem: This customer was relying on a competitor's tubular heater, which faile
