Features of the Robopac Helix 1 Evo

Features

  • Thanks to the rotating arm technology, film application and load stabilisation are carried out with pallet stopped thus avoiding any risk of load falling, regardless of the arm rotation speed.
  • The modularity of the units composing it results in wide versatility of use, even with large pallets.

Total Productive Maintenance Ready (TPM)

  • Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a system of maintaining and improving the integrity of production and quality systems through the machines, equipments, processes and employees that add business value to the organization. TPM focuses on keeping all equipment in top working condition to avoid breakdowns and delays in the manufacturing process.
  • Preventive Maintenance
    • Avoid production lines downtime
    • Faster troubleshooting
    • Visual control of the machine status
  • Cutting wire & hot sealer quick changeover
    • Easy and fast
    • Tool less
    • Minimal machine downtime
    • Maximum machine availability

Clamp Details

Hot Plate Sealer

  • Hot plate device to fix the final edge of the film during wrapping cycle on the previous turn.
  • The film is cut by means of the hot wire.
  • The sealing plates are mounted on springs to adapt to the surface of the product, and the sealing time can be set from the control panel.

Nip & Tuck Clamp

  • Optional device for clamping, cutting and threading the film without sealer.
  • The last tail of the wrapping film is inserted into the winding itself.

EVO Pincers Clamp

  • Standard clamp equipped with a system for cutting the film through a hot wire.
  • Also available in the version with double driver for independent movement of the two pincers, ideal for pallets of varying size.

EVO Spring Clamp

  • Optional system for clamping, cutting and sealing the film, which occurs without contact with the product.
  • The device works through spring steel (Patent ROBOPAC SISTEMI), with a proportional reduction of the film band and is complete with an air blower device to seal the initial edge of the film within the wrapping.
  • The device is specifically designed to guarantee perfect finishing of the end edge of the film by electronically controlled impulse sealing on constant film thickness.
  • The final sealing of the film takes place on a mechanical support, accurately avoiding direct contact with the product.
  • Also available in the version with horizontal movement and mobile and liftable.

Cube Technology

  • Deliver EXACTLY the right amount of film, at EXACTLY the right position with EXACTLY the right containment force.

Multi-Level Variable Pre-Stretch

  • Ensures best film economy for all loads.
  • Ensures best film economy for all films.
  • Ensures highest containment level attainable for all films.
  • Delivers 30% to 55% film savings.

Multi-Level Variable Containment Force

  • Delivers the optimal containment force at each level.
  • Enables the delivery of the highest pre-stretch at all levels.

Strategic Film Placement

  • Scientific approach to ultimate load containment.
  • Place film precisely where it has the most impact on load containment.

Proactive Corner Compensation

  • Reduces product damage on corners.
  • Improves containment on flat sides of loads.
  • Enables higher containment levels on each revolution.

 

Carriage Details

PGSM EVO Carriage

  • Pre-stretch carriage with single motorisation, which allows the stretch film to be pulled at fixed values up to 350% and apply up to 12 containment force values on the pallet.
  • Optional kits are available for pre-stretch other than standard.
  • The adjustment of the placing force on the pallet is controlled by an analog system.
  • The carriage is equipped with a reel h. 500 mm – 20″ (STD) or with the optional h. 750 mm – 30”.

PGSA EVO Carriage

  • Pre-stretch carriage with double independent motorisation, which allows to pre-stretch the film from the control panel, with a 100%-400% range and control system through inverter.
  • It is possible to apply up to 12 force containment values on the pallet.
  • The carriage is equipped with a reel h. 500 mm – 20″ (STD) or with the optional h. 750 mm – 30”.
  • The adjustment of the containment force on the pallet is controlled by a reactive system based on the CUBE TECHNOLOGY Level 1.

SCSP/2 EVO Carriage

  • Pre-stretch carriage with double motorisation SSC independent, which allows the stretch film to be pre-stretched from the control panel, with a 0% -400% range and with control system through inverter.
  • It is possible to apply up to 12 containment force values on the pallet.
  • The carriage is equipped with a reel h. 500 mm – 20″ (STD) or with the optional h. 750 mm – 30”.
  • The adjustment of the application force on the pallet is controlled by a PROACTIVE system based on the CUBE TECHNOLOGY Level 1 and Level 2.

Additional Options

Vertical Pressure Platen

  • Pallet retaining system during wrapping which can be used with the upper covering systems (Top Inside/Top Outside) or with particularly unstable loads.
  • Available in versions with mechanical movement by means of pantograph system or pneumatic drive.

Pallet Lifter

  • Pallet lifting system in the conveyor in the centre of the machine with pneumatic drive or hydraulic drive, thanks to which complete wrapping of the wooden pallet is possible.
  • This system enables you to manage wrapping of the product and pallet in an extremely flexible manner, guaranteeing maximum stability of the palletised load.
  • The pneumatic lift has a maximum capacity of 2000 kg, while the hydraulic system has a capacity of more than 2000 kg.

Top Sheet Cover

  • Automatic system for covering the upper surface of the pallet.
  • Available in the version Top Inside version integrated in the structure of the machine to obtain a cover against dust and water, or in the Top Outside version with independent structure, to be able to achieve a dust-proof cover.

Roping

  • Optional system to reduce the width of the film to a “cord” and ensure a more effective stabilisation of the load.

VCA – Corner Applicator

  • Automatic corner applicator device VCA which consists of vertical storages combined with four gripping and application devices managed by a special patented control system.
