High-speed wraparound machine

The Krones Wrapapac wraparound machine has an output of up to 80 cycles a minute. To ensure enhanced operational dependability, the redesigned Wrapapac WT dispenses with what in most cases used to be mechanically synchronised drive units. Where one central motor used to transmit the power via chains and gearwheels, decentralised servomotors are now being used. Service and operator sides have also been kept rigorously separate. There are no more drives at all on the operator's side. A higher construction for the machine frame improves access for the operator. Design enhancements render the changeover process from one pack to another more reliable, faster and accurately reproducible.

With the redesigned Wrapapac, Krones has also extended the processing options to include solid board. In contrast to corrugated board, more elaborate machine engineering is required when handling solid board. This technology enables the Wrapapac to produce multipacks from solid board as well. The Wrapapac's versatility can thus sometimes enable the client to dispense with a separate multipacker.
