Aluminium profile bagging and heat-shrink packing line

This line does one job and does it fast: it slides single aluminium profiles into a film sleeve and heat-shrinks the film until it fits like a second skin. Bagging speed is 60 m/min, for profiles up to 7 m long and 350 × 350 mm in cross-section. A profile enters on the conveyor at one end and leaves transport-ready at the other: no hand wrapping, no taping, no carrying.

Mechanically it is a 13.5-metre train: infeed conveyors (2 × 1.5 kW), a sleeve-forming section driven by three 1.5 kW servo motors, and a 6 kW shrink tunnel, 13.5 kW installed in total, a modest bill for the workstation it replaces. Electrics are built on Schneider components, control is a PLC with touchscreen, and profile-detection sensors set the cycle automatically. The whole line weighs about 3 tonnes and stands only 1.6 m tall, but it does need a clear 13.5 × 6 m strip at the end of your finishing line.

The business case is why this machine sells faster than anything else we offer: the maker rates it at saving at least six workers at the packing table. Even at conservative European labour cost that is a payback of roughly 12-24 months, provided you genuinely ship large volumes of individually packed profiles. To be blunt: if you mostly ship bundles, you want a wrapping machine, not this line; if you need protective film on the surface (aluminum profiles for machining, for instance), you want a film taping machine. The factory-standard line requires EU conformity work on guarding and safety circuits; we state the scope and cost of that work plainly in the offer instead of hand-waving a CE mark.
