55GI
Continuous Motion Shrink Bundler
for the Printing & Publishing Industry
(Left hand model shown)
ARPAC's industry-leading
55GI shrink bundler meets the needs
of low to medium volume printers and interacts with today's 18,000
to 20,000 books-per-hour binding lines, pre-sorted postal route
sequencing applications and the printing industry's fastest
counter-stackers.
The 55GI is capable of wrapping
extremely short stacks, lightweight products and random sized
bundles, and is ideal for e-commerce applications. Shrink wrapped
bundles reduce movement and product damage during shipment, and
provide protection against harmful environmental conditions.
The 55GI wraps random sized stacks on
demand, without interrupting production of the wrapper itself. The
zero tension film feed ensures that this compact and economical
shrink bundler wraps up to 55 bundles per minute. Typical
applications include: stacks of magazines, catalogs, books,
directories and brochures.

Options
- Split belt conveyor allows wrapping of short and lightweight
products. This is typically used for e-commerce applications
where product is placed on a chipboard or corrugated pad prior
to wrapping.
- Collating systems for grouping stacks of products together
before they proceed through the seal frame and into the shrink
tunnel.
- Quick-change seal frame cylinder kit for higher speeds
- On certain high-gloss or stitched products, static charging
may be necessary to hold the bundle together while shrink
wrapping. Please consult ARPAC when this may be an issue.
- Casters for machine portability
- Side smoothing rollers to iron out odd shape bull's eyes
- ARPAC can design and build a system to suit your specific
application
