Product Overview
The KOMAL AH40 is a high-speed automatic half-tray shrink wrapping machine designed for bottled water and beverage packaging applications.
The machine integrates automatic bottle grouping, cardboard half-tray feeding and forming, hot melt gluing, PE film wrapping, and heat shrinking into a continuous packaging process.
Its servo-driven bottle separation system ensures accurate bottle positioning and stable grouping. The formed cardboard half-tray provides additional support, while the PE shrink film helps maintain package stability during handling, storage, and transportation.
With a packaging speed of 30–40 packs per minute, the AH40 is suitable for high-capacity beverage production facilities requiring reliable, automated end-of-line packaging.
Key Features
- High-Speed Automatic Packaging: Integrates bottle grouping, half-tray forming, hot melt gluing, film wrapping, and heat shrinking into one continuous process.
- Precise Servo-Driven Bottle Grouping: Two sets of servo-driven separating forks provide accurate bottle separation, positioning, and stable grouping.
- Siemens PLC and Touchscreen Control: Enables convenient operation, packaging parameter adjustment, production monitoring, fault detection, and alarm display.
- Stable Automatic Bottle Infeed: Frequency-controlled conveying and bottle-guiding mechanisms support smooth bottle feeding and synchronization with upstream equipment.
- Automatic Half-Tray Forming and Gluing: Coordinates cardboard feeding, folding, and forming with product movement. A Nordson hot melt gluing system secures the formed half-tray.
- Accurate PE Film Wrapping: Coordinated film feeding and cutting mechanisms ensure consistent wrapping and support both standard and printed PE shrink film.
- Flexible Packaging Configurations: Supports different bottle sizes and grouping arrangements, with packaging formats ranging from 6 to 24 bottles per pack.
- Efficient Format Changeover: Adjustable machine settings and format change parts allow efficient switching between bottle sizes and packaging configurations.
- Intelligent Monitoring and Protection: Automatic fault detection, missing-bottle alarms, film-feeding protection, and production counters help reduce packaging interruptions.
- Durable Industrial Construction: Stainless steel, chrome-plated steel, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, and protective surface coatings support reliable operation and convenient maintenance.
