Felins, Inc.

Banding is used to bundle, label and showcase delicate, high-end products. As an alternative to strapping, adhesive labeling, and chipboard sleeving, banding uses a variety of wide but thin materials to keep a strong hold on products without causing damage. Banding equipment offers an eco-friendly way to automatically sleeve and multipack products as an alternative to using adhesives to sleeve products. Customers most commonly use banding solutions for multi-packs, trays, skin packs, and sausage packs. While strapping uses a hard, coarse strap, banding uses a wide ribbon, paper, or fully transparent band. Banding is best known for unitizing printed products, corrugated boxes, paperboard cartons, wipes, and club packs but the application possibilities are limitless.

Felins offers both semiautomatic shrink wrapping solutions as well as fully-automatic, inline wrappers. An alternative to bagging and hand wrapping, shrink wrapping systems also help eliminate bottlenecks and reduce labor costs. The TP is a semi-automatic shrink wrapper designed for facilities first beginning automated wrapping or looking for a small footprint. The TP-100 is designed for facilities that want to eliminate hand wrapping but don’t have volume for a fully-automated solution. Combined with a fully controllable heat tunnel and adjustable conveyors, the TP-100 can wrap as fast as 2 or 3 hand wrappers.

For companies who are looking for an eco-friendly way to automatically sleeve and multipack products, Felins offers a line of non adhesive or sleeve labeling machines. Instead of using adhesives to label or sleeve the product, Felins’ machines apply labels with tension and then use an ultrasonic weld to secure everything in place. Labels and sleeves look great on products and won’t slide out of loose sleeves. Semi-automated solutions come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and configurations to meet specific needs, while Felins fully automated solutions can be inserted directly inline, keeping packaging labor costs low. Whether the application calls for a simple label or sleeve or the customer needs to stack, unitize and label/sleeve, Felins offers a variety of standard automation solutions as well as customization if needed.
