New Solution For Flat Product Wrapping

The UK’s leading provider of feeding, labelling and wrapping machinery and materials, Advanced Dynamics Limited, has recently launched a new wrapping machine into the UK’s flat product packaging sector.

The VMC 105, manufactured by Köra-Packmat, is a versatile machine designed for separating, counting and tightly wrapping small-sized flat products. Applications include phone cards, stationery, greeting cards, stickers, instant lottery tickets and CD/DVDs. The machine ensures pristine presentation and offers high flexibility. It produces single packs and linked cards with perforations.

Depending on the application and product dimension, the VMC 105 can operate at speeds of up to 100 packs/minute. It runs OPP, CPP or PE shrink films as single wound or centre folded film. Additional packing options include overwrapping, thermal transfer printing and labelling.

When speaking about the market for flat product machinery, Managing Director of Advanced Dynamics Limited, Mike Essler, said: “We see big opportunities in the flat product packaging sector for the Köra-Packmat VMC 105 series.

“Conventional greeting cards are as popular as ever and it is estimated that the market will increase year-on-year. Home computing and digital photography has lead to additional demand for personal stationery, including printer paper and accessories. Total sales of National Lottery products have risen, including instant lottery tickets, and new technology has seen an increase in the number and types of DVDs on the market,” said Mr Essler.

Launched into the UK at Ipex 2006, the Köra Packmat VMC 105 comes in four variants, all designed to handle different sized applications.

H6 wraps items between 85mm (width) x 55mm (length) and 240 (W) x 140 mm (L), with a height of 6mm. H30 and CD2 handle products between 85 (W) x 55mm (L) and 240 (W) x 170mm (L), and pack heights of up to 30mm and has the option to shrink wrap packs higher then 12mm. Model GC wraps products between 120 (W) x 75mm (L) and 240 (W) x 170mm (L), at packs heights of up to 12mm.
