Product Details
WAS-120 Wrap-Around Sleever
High Speed Sleeving Machine
The WAS-120 Wrap-Around Sleever is an upgraded model developed from ÉLITER’s established ESTRENA™ platform. Its redesigned sleeving system improves the handling of multipack formats at higher production speeds, while the more open machine structure provides better access for cleaning, maintenance and daily operation. Positioned as a high-performance alternative to European Tier-1 sleeving machines, it combines advanced functionality with robust industrial construction.
The WAS-120 is a fully servo-driven carton sleeving machine featuring a hygienic stainless-steel structure suitable for food packaging applications. Its ergonomic design provides excellent accessibility, while the flexible format-handling system supports a wider range of product sizes and pack configurations. Changeovers are simplified through adjustable mechanisms, with automated format adjustment available as an option.
Technical Features
Introduction and Technical Features of WAS-120 Wrap-Around Sleever
Operation Sequence
Containers (trays of ready meal, for example) are received randomly and timed by the infeed system and then introduced into the sleever by the main infeed conveyor. Sleeve blanks are fed and placed by the rotary feeder directly onto each container. The overhead guiding mechanism take the containers go through a series of guides and powered components; hot-melt glue is jetted onto the glue-flap to seal the package. The wrapped packages are discharged by the overhead guides and a powered base belt.
