How Machines Function and Options
Plastic wrap machines for food are designed to make packaging efficient and secure. They come in different types, including l-bar sealers, chamber machines, and continuous band sealers.
The process starts with product placement, where the wrapped item is put on the conveyor or platform of the machine. A roll of shrink wrap film is then dispensed and wrapped around the product.
These machines use heat to seal the film, resulting in a secure container. Some machines also have a shrinking feature that uses heat to shrink the film firmly around the product, providing a tight fit.
Here are some options to consider when choosing a plastic wrap machine for food:
- Unique film carriage options to reduce downtime if spillage occurs.
- Allows 24/7 operations.
- Stainless Steel wash-down and wipe-down options.
- Shrink at lower temps due to EDL’s Shrink Tunnel efficiencies.
- Double Tight Wrap (DTW) option available for wrapping and bundling without a Shrink Tunnel.
How Machines Function
Film-wrapping machines, like L-bar sealers, chamber machines, and continuous band sealers, use a straightforward process to wrap products in shrink wrap film. The machine's conveyor or platform holds the wrapped item in place.

Product placement is the first step, where the item is placed on the conveyor or platform of the machine. A roll of shrink wrap film is then dispensed and wrapped around the product.
The sealing process involves heat sealing the film, resulting in a secure container. This is a crucial step in ensuring the product is properly wrapped.
If required, the plastic wrap machine uses heat to shrink the film firmly around the product, resulting in a tight fit. This is especially useful for products that need to be tightly sealed.
Here's a quick rundown of the film-wrapping process:
- Product placement: The wrapped item is placed on the conveyor or platform of the machine.
- Application of shrink wrap film: A roll of shrink wrap film is dispensed and wrapped around the product.
- Sealing: Heat seals the film, resulting in a secure container.
- Shrinking: The plastic wrap machine uses heat to shrink the film firmly around the product, resulting in a tight fit.
Some machines, like the Clamco 250C Combo Shrink Wrap System, combine multiple functions into one unit. This can improve operator ergonomics and production output.
