How to Eliminate 5 Common Shrink Wrap Issues with the Shanklin Triumph 2

Are You Experiencing These 5 Common Shrink Packaging Issues?

Changes in Productivity Between Packaging Shifts
High Shrink Film Re-wraps
High Shrink Film Usage
High Shrink Wrapper Downtime
High Labour Costs

The Shanklin Triumph 2 is an automatic form-fill-seal wrapper that is perfect for applications that require more advanced features and speed compared to what a typical L-Bar Sealer offers.

1. Changes in Productivity Between Packaging Shift

Keeps a recipe record of all the adjustment parameters (electrical, mechanical and shrink film).
Any shift will operate the machine the same and achieve the same desired results.
Understand the previous shift’s events and activities with production timers (stopped/running/waiting for the product) and a fault log.

2. High Shrink Film Re-wraps

Dependable perforation, quality seals and bag sizes ensure a consistently wrapped finished product.
- The Shanklin Triumph 2 paired with the T-71 Shrink Tunnel provides consistent heat/speed with plenty of airflow for a perfect shrink wrapped package.

3. High Shrink Film Usage

Typical L-Bar Sealers consume around 1-2 more inches of shrink film than the Shanklin Triumph 2.
- The form-fill-seal design creates a tube of shrink film around the product and then seals either side with the continuous motion end seal.
- Less film is required to create the shrink film tube
- The winder design allows for smaller width film scrap tails to be pulled/wound.

4. High Shrink Wrapper Downtime

The Triumph 2 is equipped with minimal maintenance components
Easy tool-less adjustments for main elements of the shrink wrapper
