Original Press Release:
Douglas Contour(TM) SPS-75 Shrink Packer Expanded Capabilities
Now packs products into trays, on pads, u-boards and film only
Alexandria, Minnesota - February 26, 2008
The Douglas Contour(TM) SPS-75 Shrink Packer has expanded capabilities to pack products into trays, on pads, u-boards, and now film only. Enhanced SPS-75 features include the Smartrak® Steady Stream Infeed, Slipstream(TM) Pinless Metering, side film stands, and quick-change servo driven wrapping wands. Built-in flexibility assures large size ranges and quick, tool-free changeovers.
Each feature is very simple and easy to understand. Smartrak® Steady Stream Infeeds' uniquely repeatable operation handles light-weight containers with ease, meeting sustainability objectives.
Slipstream(TM) Pinless Metering requires minor adjustments, a slipsheet change, and intuitive steps through the control panel when completing a changeover. A convenient side-mounted film stand is mounted outside the machine and at waist level for easy and ergonomic film roll loading and splicing.
Quick-change servo driven wrapping wand tracks minimize the need for friction belts and maximize the size range with circular, elliptical, or trapezoid wand paths. Other valuable features include automatic servo homing and additional quick-release cam style clamps in the infeed, metering, and transfer areas that require little or no adjusting, making changeovers even more efficient and repeatable.
The Contour(TM) SPS-75 also features the patented and patent-pending heat tunnel using advanced heat and airflow management to deliver tightly wrapped packages for excellent package integrity and appearance. Speeds are to 75 cycles per minute.
All Contour(TM) SPS-75 Shrink Packers are backed by Douglas' exclusive 3-year limited warranty.
