Why Does Continuous Motion Offer Smoother and More Stable Packaging?
When it comes to shrink packaging, choosing the right side sealer technology can impact the efficiency and quality of your packaging line. Among the options, an intermittent motion side sealer stands out for many manufacturers who need reliable, high-quality shrink wrapping without the cost and complexity of continuous motion machines. Complete Packaging Solutions & Systems Inc. / Kallfass USA offers fully automatic intermittent motion side sealers engineered to meet these needs across a range of industries.
What Is an Intermittent Motion Side Sealer and How Does It Work?
An intermittent motion side sealer is a machine that wraps products by sealing the film edges in precise, short bursts, pausing the conveyor for each seal cycle. Unlike continuous motion machines that seal while the product is moving, this stop-and-go method allows for exact control over seal timing and position.
The fully automatic intermittent motion side sealer from Kallfass is designed for companies with moderate output rates. It customizes to various product sizes and shapes, providing high-quality packaging with consistent seal integrity. The machine’s heavy-duty steel frame and solid construction ensure quiet, vibration-free operation, creating a better workplace environment.
Why Choose an Intermittent Motion Side Sealing Machine?
The intermittent motion side sealing machine offers several advantages that appeal to manufacturers prioritizing precision and cost-effectiveness:
- Targeted heat transfer delivers perfect shrink results by focusing heat exactly where it’s needed on the package.
- Fast heat-up times enabled by excellent insulation and a compact design mean less downtime waiting for machine readiness.
- Continuous controllers allow easy adjustment of temperature, airflow, and conveyor speed, simplifying operation.
- Intelligent energy management technology reduces power consumption while maintaining performance.
- Encoder controls replace traditional timers, providing 100% accurate product and bag length measurement. This ensures quick, precise product changeovers without lengthy downtime.
How Does Intermittent Motion Compare to Continuous Motion Packaging?
While continuous motion side sealers offer high throughput and smooth conveyor movement ideal for fragile or lightweight items, intermittent motion side sealers provide an ideal balance of performance and economy for many applications. Intermittent machines typically run between 8 and 25 packages per minute and excel at handling diverse product dimensions without excessive film waste.
Because the sealing elements in an intermittent motion side sealer operate only during sealing bursts, they experience less wear and tear. This leads to reduced maintenance needs and longer machine life. Furthermore, the combination of motion control technology and energy-saving features results in average operating cost reductions of about 30% compared to competitive models.
