Vacuum Unit
for removing film snippets

For visually appealing and uniform packaging, most clients choose to cut the film ends during the back sealing of the RoRo StretchPack® packaging.

When cutting the film ends, it’s essential to remove the cut film snippets to maintain a smooth automated packaging flow. For both cost-efficiency and sustainability, these snippets should be collected and sent for recycling.

Depending on your specific requirements, we provide two types of vacuum units that can be installed with your RoRo StretchPack® solution.

Hole for vacuum unit

The film snippet is suctioned away and transported to a container after being cut on the back sealing unit (BU).

Vacuum unit with integrated container

The leftover film snippets are suctioned from the back sealing unit (BU) to a container integrated with the vacuum unit. Once the container is full, simply remove the bottom plate to empty the film snippets into a bag, a wheeled container, or similar. Packaging stops when the container is full and resumes automatically once emptied. An alert indicates when the container is
nearing its capacity.

Vacuum unit for external container

This vacuum unit removes and blows the leftover film snippets into an external container of your choice. This option is suitable if you have specific requirements, such as the type and size of the container, and its placement location, or if you wish to use the same container across multiple production lines.
