Packaging Automation – Automated Shrink Wrapping

The Driving Force Behind Shrink Wrapping

As with the majority of packaging automation processes within a warehouse environment, the process is only as successful as the motor driving the machinery. And this is where Parvalux is here to support you.

Each component of a shrink-wrapping system, from conveyor belts and film rollers to cutting and sealing mechanisms, relies on smooth, coordinated motion, from a motor with precision and reliability at its core. This is what we excel at, and our motors can be used to:

• Drive conveyors at variable speeds
• Control film feed and tension
• Operate cutting/sealing arms
• Power product pusher systems

Energy Efficiency for Robotic and Battery-Driven Systems

Energy efficiency is crucial for today’s automated and battery-powered packaging lines. Our motors are engineered to maximise output while minimising power consumption, allowing more operational cycles between charges. This improves productivity and lowers total operating costs across your packaging process.

Why Parvalux?

With more than 75 years’ experience of providing precision motors we know what challenges our customers face across varying and complex industries. We understand the four main pain-points when automating the shrink-wrapping process:

1. Inconsistent seal quality due to jerky movement
2. Downtime from motors overheating or unit failure
3. Challenging installation for complex machinery
4. Off-the-shelf-motors not suiting specific requirements

Our range of geared motors is designed with exactly these challenges in mind meaning our motors have:

Reliable Torque & Speed Control – Shrink wrapping machines must adapt to different product sizes and packaging speeds quickly and efficiently. Our geared motors provide high torque at low speeds, allowing for consistent, smooth motion, even in continuous operation.

A Compact Design – Packaging equipment often needs to be compact to fit into tight spaces, as well as sitting within a closed unit. Parvalux geared motors, are available in inline and right-angle configurations, which offer powerful performance in space-efficient formats. Our motors also have flexible mounting options which makes them easier to install into complex systems.

Quiet & Low-Maintenance Operation – In production environments, noise and maintenance downtime are major challenges which is why our motors are engineered for quiet, efficient operation, in addition to long service intervals and robust construction.

Options for Customised Solutions – We know that off-the-shelf motors aren’t always suitable therefore there is always the option for customised motor-gearbox combinations suited to your specific machine requirements, ensuring peak performance and seamless integration every time.
