1. Motion Systems -Intermittent -Reciprocal or “Box” -Orbital vs Rotary

2. The Leader in Automatic Shrink Packaging Solutions

3. The Texwrap Difference It's the extra value that's built into every product. It's the ultimate in ease-of-use, reliability and longevity. Every Texwrap shrink wrap system from our standard L-sealers, side sealers, and lap sealers to the highest speed servo orbital wrappers are designed and built to run for many years with the absolute lowest cost-in-operation of any shrink system on the market today. We back them better because we build them better.

4. Innovation Texwrap holds some of the most significant patents in the shrink wrap industry and continues to lead the industry in innovative solutions to our customers’ challenges.

5. Advanced Design Our computer software allows Texwrap engineers to analyze and test component design and function before the equipment is built to insure every Texwrap system is reliable from the start.

6. Precision Manufacturing Stork/Texwrap uses some of the most advanced metal fabricating equipment and techniques to manufacture the parts of our equipment to exacting tolerances.

7. Robust Construction Texwrap systems are designed for 24/7 operation and maximum reliability. Critical components are thoroughly life-cycle tested before they are considered for use in a Texwrap system. Heavy, no-compromise design and construction insure years of low-cost dependable service.

8. Application Experience Texwrap has designed systems for use in a broad variety of applications. We specialize in custom wrappers and infeed systems often wrapping 150 or more packages per minute.

9. Factory Tech Support We employ six full-time field technicians available to support our equipment after the sale either in the customer’s plant or on-line for fast diagnostic support. Because Texwrap does all of its programming in- house, our technicians are able to quickly and expertly solve many problems over the phone.

10. Local Service Support Texwrap equipment is supported and serviced locally by a nationwide network of factory-trained distributors. Texwrap believes in putting these highly-qualified resources close to the customer for the fastest response possible.

11. Parts Availability We stock in-house a large inventory of over $1,000,000 in parts with 24 hour availability. In addition, because Texwrap is part of Stork Fabricators, we have the unique ability to quickly turn around fabricated non-stock parts reducing costly downtime.

12. 3-Year Warranty Every Texwrap system is backed by our industry-leading 3-year “Built-Better/Backed- Better” warranty. No one else comes close. We back them better because we build them better.

13. Intermittent Motion Seal head does not move. Entire product stream stops during while the seal is being made. OpenDwell Stopped

14. Reciprocal or “Box” Motion Seal head travels forward with product while making seal Return Dwell Seal head opens & travels back along next product Seal head finds gap, closes & travels forward with product while making seal Close Open Close Move

15. Orbital Motion- Vertical Opening Open Closing Sealing Top down view.

16. Orbital Motion- Horizontal Opening Open Closing Sealing Side view

17. “Rotary” Motion- Horizontal OpeningOpen Closing Sealing Distance between packages is determined by the clearance needed to avoid the sweeping jaws hitting the incoming package. The taller the package, the longer the bag. There is no way to shorten the bag as Texwrap can by slowing the exit conveyor slightly just as the seal is made. In addition, the rotary jaws make a “shearing” motion as they approach the film to seal it as opposed to a smooth vertical “pressing” motion as in a Texwrap system.

18. How Motion Trim TM Reduces Cycle Time Wasted time Tall package Short package

19. Intermittent Motion w/o Motion Trim Package stops & waits until jaws are open completely Package moves Package clears jaws completely & rear bag times out Jaws close (package stops during seal)

20. Intermittent Motion w/ Motion Trim Conveyor starts while jaws are opening Jaws begin to close before package clears Jaws close “Front bag trim” or “Open trim” prestarts the conveyor while the jaws are still opening. At 100% (no trim) package moves only when jaws have opened completely. At 30% trim, the conveyor starts when the jaws are 30% open. “Rear bag trim” or “Closing trim” prestarts the jaws closing after the trailing edge of the package is detected by the photoeye. At 100%, jaws wait to begin closing until package is completely clear. At 30%, the jaws will be 30% closed when the end of the package is detected. Too much trim (approaching 0) will cause the jaws to clip the package as they open and close.

21. Continuous motion w/o Motion Trim Seal head begins to return only when the jaws are open completely. Seal head returns home Front Trim- In a seal cycle with motion trims disabled, the cross seal carriage will only begin returning home when the jaws are open completely. Rear Trim- In a seal cycle with motion trims disabled, the carriage begins to travel with the package and cross seal jaws begin to close only when “Rear bag distance” has finished. When “Rear bag” finishes, seal head latches onto package, begins following and the jaws begin to close Seal head closes and continues forward with the package making the seal.

22. Continuous motion w/ Motion Trim Seal head begins to return when jaws are open the “Front trim” %. Seal head returns home Front Trim- uses a number between 0 to 100 to determine when the carriage should begin to return even though the jaws are not completely open. A number of 50 would mean that the seal bar would be 50% open when the carriage begins to return. When A “Front trim” number that is too low (closer to 0) would cause the jaws to clip the front of the package as the carriage began its return. Rear Trim- as the seal head begins following the package forward, “Rear trim” uses a number between 0 and 100 to determine when the jaws begin to close. A number of 50 would mean that the jaws would be 50% closed when the “Rear bag” setting was reached. Seal head latches onto package & begins following as jaws begin to close anticipating rear bag distance Seal head closes and continues forward with the package making the seal.
