DEF

A machine used to apply shrink bands over the neck and cap of containers.

OBS

Using a tubular stock wound in rolls, it forms, cuts and applies a shrink band around the neck of each bottle. Adjustment and functioning of this machine must be accurate, to assure correct placement of the band on each bottle. Once banded, bottles then move through a short shrink tunnel.

OBS

Some recent developments in the packaging industry indicate that shrinkbands can also be used to hold 2 or more similar or dissimilar items in place (2-for-1 promotional items, multipacks, etc.).
