YPS Enters Twiglet Zone...

Rochman machine sleeve wrapping TwigletsJacobs has introduced shrink wrapping in response to requests from the supermarkets to reduce packaging waste.

Following exhaustive transit trials earlier in the year, which proved the concept to be viable, outer cartons have been replaced with shrink film on various products.

A shrink wrapper made to specification

Twiglet shrink wrapped packs comming out of Rochman shrink tunnelThe equipment consists of two 800mm wide side feed sleeve sealers designed to wrap a collation of kilo and half kilo biscuit packs. These two shrink wrapping lines were manufactured to a slightly larger specification in order to comfortably accommodate all the possible sizes.

The third shrink wrap line is a smaller 600mm wide side feed sleeve sealer designed to shrink wrap trayless collations of cylindrical tins of the ever popular Twiglets.

A wealth of shrink wrapping experience

Here we drew on our experience of manufacturing shrink wrap equipment for the diary industry by incorporating our own manufactured feeding and collating system. This effectively allowed packs to travel from Jacobs' production line in a single lane format with the Rochman collating and wrapping in a 2x3 format.

A winning formula

It was this ability to easily customise each machine coupled with the quality and reliability of Rochman equipment which persuaded Jacobs to choose Rochman shrink wrap machines.

" Shrink wrapping has been a successful venture for us in terms of providing the best method of increasing production speeds, keeping costs under control and maintaining pack integrity," explained David Rome, Jacobs' engineering manager.

Glyn Johnson goes on to explain: " Over the last twelve months we have seen an unprecedented increase in the number of enquiries we receive for this type of shrink wrapping equipment as companies continue to try and limit their packaging waste liability by moving away from cartons and opting instead for the benefits of shrink wrapping."
