Description

New automatic wrapping machine with rotating arm for high productivity.

The new Helix 4 EVO combines the performances of previous generations with the innovative characteristics of Robopac’s EVO rotating arm stretch wrappers.

It has evolved with a view to reducing maintenance time and operating costs, adopting innovative solutions such as replacing chains with toothed belts, bearings lubricated for life, a high accessibility to improve ergonomics and speed in the parts replacement and a reduction of energy consumptions.

The modularity of the groups that compose it allows a wide versatility of use even in the presence of large pallets, being able to be equipped with the Top Inside covering device as a post installation upgrade, with minor modifications; the machine can also be equipped with a jumbo film reel with a larger diameter for greater working autonomy.1220mm x 1220mm (1600mm x 1600mm ver. L – 1900mm x 1900mm ver. XL)

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.

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 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 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 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”.
