Benefits
Tetra Pak® Multilane Wrapper 1500 A2 for ice cream wrapping
The Tetra Pak® Multilane Wrappers A2 are self-contained units, designed for continuous wrapping of stick novelties, sandwiches, bars, cones and other ice cream products in a number of parallel lanes, in heat or cold sealable wrapping materials.
Quick facts
Self contained unit for continuous wrapping of ice cream products, in hot or cold sealable wrapping materials.
Capacity
Up to 70 products/min per lane
Applications
Ice cream sticks, sandwiches, bars, cones, wafer cups etc.
Taking wrapping performance to a whole new level
- Exceptional and consistent product quality with smart features to detect deviations
- Outstanding efficiency and low production costs, thanks to savings on wrapping material and high production speed
- Recipe handling and several exchangeable modules enable highly flexible production
Features
Integrated paper rack
Enables compact layout
The paper rack is mounted onto the machine rather than on an external rack. This reduces space requirements and makes it easy for operators to access the paper rolls and replace them, while minimizing friction. The lack of friction also enables the use of thinner wrapping material.
Quick release handle
Enables wrapping of different product types and sizes
Different paper formers are needed depending on the size and the shape of the product and wrapping material width. In this unit, there is a quick release handle, which makes it easy to switch paper formers (without tools) whenever a different product it going to be made.
Individual fin seal drive & sealing module
Enables quick, safe product changes
Designed with an individual fin seal drive and sealing module, this unit enables easy threading of one lane at a time. That means fast and safe product changes, with the minimum waste of wrapping material. It also enables the features called ‘no-product-no-wrapping’ and fast photo registration (or ‘picture in place’ wrapping).
Cross sealing & cutting module
Secures reliable sealing
This module moves in a box motion pattern, which means the wrapping material is held together for an optimal length of time and at the correct temperature to form a reliable seal. An integrated fast moving cutting device cuts the packaging material within the jaws during sealing.
Replaceable modules
For high equipment availability
The fin and cross seal modules are designed for fast replacement, with power outlets for air and power connections. Having an additional set of modules means you can remove one when a wear part needs replacing without prolonged interruption to your production. The switch typically takes ten minutes.
Options
Paper break detection
For high equipment availability
If a reel of paper gets torn, the unit automatically stops the individual paper lane and alerts the operator so he/she can reconnect it. At the same time, it stops incoming products on that lane and exits them automatically before the in-feed to prevent a product pile up.
Choice of date coding options
Adapted to local regulations
This unit is compatible with a range of different date coding systems, including drop on demand, continuous inkjet, thermal inkjet and laser. The code is printed lengthways on the wrapper in the desired position.
Photo mark registration
Positions product correctly in the wrapper
This sensor ensures that the product is aligned with the printed design on the wrapper so that each wrapped product coming off the line looks the same. This option is also necessary for producers who want to decide exactly where the date code appears on the product.
Individual lane exit
Ensures final product quality
An individual lane exit at the wrapper outlet allows non-conforming products and empty or joined wraps to be removed rather than being further conveyed for cartoning. The system detects certain non-conformities by itself; the operator can detect other issues and, if necessary, override the system.
