MACHINE DESCRIPTION

Pleat wrapping packaging has been considerably growing in importance and popularity. It offers good protection from outside elements and enhances a nice final look of wrapped soap, denoting a high level of professional and serious skill.
PW-1 is a manual wrapping device suitable for rounded soap shapes: with this manual pleat wrapper it is possible to wrap soaps with a maximum diameter of 80 mm and maximum thickness of 40 mm. Being a manually operated machine, its performance is related to the capability of the operator. To obtain a good wrapped soap it is important to select a good quality paper or transparent film. The paper must neither tear nor deform and it must keep its original surface after the wrapping.
The Manual Pleat Wrap has a main rigid body fully steel material. The reduced dimensions of the machine allow an easy positioning on every working plane.
On the main body is installed a pleat format set. Each format set is composed by:

Upper ring plate
– Lower ring plate
– Pusher

Optional size part sets are available for soaps with different dimensions from the one fitted with the machine. The paper foil round or octagonal shape, is inserted between the upper and lower plating plate. The naked soap is put in the hole of the upper ring plate and pushed into the lower ring. The pushed soap force the paper foil to be pressed and so forming the pleats. When the soap in the lower position, the iris is closed and the pleats envelope the soap. The iris is opened again just for giving the space for apply the adhesive label.

SPECIFICATIONS

Speed : 3-4 soaps/minute depending on the operator ability

PW-30

PW-30

MACHINE DESCRIPTION

The Model PW-30 Bar Soap Pleat Wrapper is designed to wrap with tissue paper, plastic or cellophane up to 30 round side banded soaps.

INFEED

The stamped soaps are fed onto a 1225 mm long and 80 mm wide and intermittent motion, flat belt conveyor ( basic dimensions).

PLEATING

The roll fed pleat wrapping material is cut into octagonal shape and placed under the soap. Excess wrapping material is discharged into a container with a vacuum system.
The soap and the wrapping material are lowered together into a pleating head assembly, which forms 24 pleats around the soap.

LABELING AND DISCHARGE

The folded pleats are kept in position by a mechanical controlled iris.
The pleating head, with the pleat wrapped soap inside, moves to the labelling station, where an automatic labelling group applies roll fed self-adhesive labels.
The pleat wrapped and labelled soap is discharged onto a chute which allows the soaps collection.
To vary the height of products, having the equal diameter, it requires a different width of the wrapping material

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

The Model SW-1 Bar Soap Stretch Wrapper is a manual unit designed to wrap with stretch film banded, bandless and different shaped soaps one at a time.
The Operator feeds manually the film and the soaps directly into the stretching station and starts the stretching procedure by actuating simultaneously two safety push-buttons.
The square shaped of 300 x 300 mm stretch film fed from reel is manually cut.
The soaps and the wrapping film are lowered into the wrapping head by a pneumatic cylinder and the film is stretched on the top of the soap by using a manually activated iris.
A manually activated hot knife seals and cuts the excess film while the operator removes the cut excess film.
The label has to be applied manually after the soaps has been discharged.
Most of the soaps can be wrapped with the size change part supplied with the machine. Additional size change parts (at an extra cost) are available for those dimensions and shapes that exceed the range of the basic size group.

Speed : 2 to 3 soaps/minute depending on the shape and size of the soap and on the operator.
