Automatic Neck Band Sleeve Applicator.

The need to make products Tamper Evident & Pilfer Proof gave rise to the concept of Neck Band Sleeving.

Conventionally this was being done by manually inserting preformed PVC sleeves onto the neck of the bottle & then passing the same through a shrink hood to achive shrinkage.

However this required quite a number of persons to do the manual sleeve placement to match the line speeds.

The automatic sleeve applicator automatically places the film sleeve over the neck of the bottle after which it is cut at the required length by a special guillotine cutting arrangement after which it is shrunk.

Machines are available for speeds between 40-100 bottles per minute depending upon Bottle Stability & Dimensions.
