Listed below are some of the problems that can occur during the production process of shrink sleeving and the solutions that Secomak can offer.

APPLICATION PROBLEM:

The formation of a sleeve over a food tin or jar will bring a plastic substrate in to close contact with its surface. If the food tin or jar surface is wet, then the substrate sticks to the bottle out of schedule, resulting in a poorly presented bottle, high levels of rejects and significantly reducing rates of production.

A Secomak solution for drying food tins or jars prior to entering a shrink sleeve applicator ensures that all moisture is removed from the bottles allowing sleeves to be fitted with a better presentation.
