Tamper-evident shrink bander

The F-160 Evolution shrinkbander from PDC International is a flexible system for applying shrinkbands around the lids of tapered and straight-wall tubs.

Fully mechanical, these systems do not use vacuum, pneumatics or spinning knives. F-160 Shrinkbanders use dual servos for product handling and sleeve feeding, and are manufactured in three standard models with line speeds ranging from 30 to 400 cpm. Shrinkbanders apply tamper evident bands 1 to 2.3 in. (25 to 60 mm) in height, and 2.5 to 6.75 in. (63 to 172 mm) in diameter to tubs and containers. Stainless steel version of the system is designed for easy wash-down.
