registration when running printed film Shrink tunnel with zoned
temperature control for consistent, wrinkle-free bundles Integrated
safety interlocks, emergency stops, and safety guards included
Electrical specifications and wiring diagrams available in the manuals
Production Line Integration Capabilities This shrink wrapper
integrates seamlessly into a used bottling line alongside upstream
rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling systems, and downstream
conveying, case handling, and palletizing. Inline interface with
conveyors, accumulation tables, and inspection systems Quick format
change with recipe-based adjustments for varied collations Compatible
with multi-product schedules across water, juice, beer, wine, and
mixed SKUs Synchronization options for line speed following and
start/stop handshakes Machine Condition & Maintenance History
Condition: IN STORAGE, second hand unit from 2009 Safety features
included as part of the delivered scope Manuals available for
operation, maintenance, and electrical references General cosmetic
wear consistent with a used industrial packaging machine; inspection
and test running can be arranged as part of line integration planning
Operational Performance & Versatility The SMI SK 450F is engineered to
deliver stable, retail-ready bundles with excellent shrink aesthetics.
Its ability to run printed film supports brand visibility without
secondary cartons, ideal for beverage production where high-speed
throughput and shelf impact are critical. Handles PET and glass
bottles as well as aluminum cans across multiple volumes Suitable for
still and carbonated beverages: water, juice, beer, wine, CSDs, energy
drinks Flexible collation patterns for single-serve and family-size
SKUs Consistent wrapping performance minimizes film waste and rework
Designed to complement upstream filling and capping accuracy by
preserving pack stability Installation Requirements & Site Preparation
To achieve the stated performance, plan for proper layout and
utilities typical of high-speed shrink bundling. Dedicated, level
floor space allowing straight infeed/outfeed conveyor runs Three-phase
electrical supply sized per manual specifications Compressed air for
actuators and control pneumatics Adequate ventilation for the shrink
tunnel area and safe heat dispersion Clear access for film change,
maintenance, and cleaning Integration points for line control signals
and emergency-stop circuits Safety Standards & Compliance
Certification Safety is central to this machineâs design and
delivery scope. Full perimeter guarding with interlocked access doors
at hazard points Emergency stop devices at operator stations and
strategic locations Guarded sealing/cutting areas and insulated tunnel
zones Risk-reduction measures aligned with common industrial packaging
safety practices Hygiene-friendly design suitable for beverage
production environments With high throughput, flexible collations, and
the ability to run printed and neutral films, the SMI SK 450F is a
strong fit for upgrading or expanding a used bottling line where
dependable, high-quality shrink bundling is required.
