Accraply develops narrow web seamer
Barry Wehmiller company Accraply has developed a Stanford shrink-sleeve finishing machine specifically for the narrow web flexo and digital converter, writes Aakriti Agarwal.
The Seammachine Jr is equipped with a manually adjustable table that includes an electronic readout and pin-relocation-assist system for adjusting shoe position. The ergonomic and compact frame of the Seammachine Jr. allows for a short web path which translates to less waste on startup.
The equipment also includes a lay-flat quality check system which provides on-machine printed reports for each roll. Some of the key features of the product includes electronic rewind oscillation up to 20mm (0.75in), transferable recipe storage, an ultrasonic sleeve-width measuring device to provide precise lay-flat monitoring, lay-flat reporting and print-out for each roll, roll diameters of 762mm (20in), web speed up to 300 m/min (1,000ft/min), sleeve width from 50mm (2in) to 200mm (8in), and servo solvent wick system with auto-retract. The system forms and seals PVC, PETG, OPS and PLA film.
