Douglas Contour SPS-75 Shrink Packer Expanded Capabilities

dfg

Alexandria, MN - The Douglas Contour SPS-75 Shrink Packer has expanded capabilities to pack products into trays, on pads, u-boards, and now film only. Enhanced SPS-75 features include the Smartrak Steady Stream Infeed, Slipstream Pinless Metering, side film stands, and quick-change servo driven wrapping wands. Built-in flexibility assures large size ranges and quick, tool-free changeovers.

Each feature is very simple and easy to understand. Smartrak Steady Stream Infeeds' uniquely repeatable operation handles light-weight containers with ease, meeting sustainability objectives.

Slipstream Pinless Metering requires minor adjustments, a slipsheet change, and intuitive steps through the control panel when completing a changeover. A convenient side-mounted film stand is mounted outside the machine and at waist level for easy and ergonomic film roll loading and splicing.

Quick-change servo driven wrapping wand tracks minimize the need for friction belts and maximize the size range with circular, elliptical, or trapezoid wand paths. Other valuable features include automatic servo homing and additional quick-release cam style clamps in the infeed, metering, and transfer areas that require little or no adjusting, making changeovers even more efficient and repeatable.

The Contour SPS-75 also features the patented and patent-pending heat tunnel using advanced heat and airflow management to deliver tightly wrapped packages for excellent package integrity and appearance. Speeds are to 75 cycles per minute.

All Contour SPS-75 Shrink Packers are backed by Douglas' exclusive 3-year limited warranty.
