Jennerjahn Machine designed an automated line to package rolls of sensitive film which were highly susceptible to surface defects. From the center winder, finished rolls are transferred to an off-loader shaft and passed through a sleeve wrapper. Next, a special low-impact, cleated conveyor transfers the roll to a gantry that automatically inserts pad plugs into the ends of the core. Without releasing the pad plugs, the gantry transfers the roll to a box blank in the tray former where the tray is formed around the product. The formed tray containing the product in then conveyed to a station where the lid is formed around the bottom tray. As the finished box exits the lid forming station, a product specific label is applied to the end of the box. The packaged film rolls are then transferred to an accumulation table and removed from the line.
