Shrink sleever 246

The cos. debut their PowerSleeve® Evolution Series of shrink sleevers, which use proprietary technologies to shrink-wrap full or partial-body sleeves at speeds to 48,000 containers/hr. The sleevers are capable of handling from 40- to 185-mm-dia bottles sizes with heights from 40 to 400 mm, with tool-less changeover in as little as 15 min, the co. claims. An adjustable shrinking system includes the PowerSkinner®, which uses infrared tunnels for dry operation, or the PowerSteam®, which shrinks sleeves with steam—a process more appropriate to custom configurations.
