Engineered, manufactured, built, and tested at its newly renovated facility in De Pere, WI, Campbell Wrapper will showcase its Revolution Horizontal Flow Wrapper at PACK EXPO this year. Along with supporting sustainable packaging initiatives, Campbell Wrapper offers compatibility with Amcor’s AmFiber Performance Paper—a high-barrier paper solution designed for curbside recycling with over 80% paper content recoverable during the recycling process.
The Campbell Revolution flow wrapper features include Allen-Bradley’s servo drive technology including 5700 Kinetix drives, PanelView Plus 7 1000 color touchscreen, VPL servo motors, sanitary washdown design, and quick changeover components. The infeed features hinged top plates and side guides, offering convenient access for cleaning and maintenance. Key flow wrapper features include a servo-driven film feed roll, automatic film splicer, and a separate servo drive for the first set of fin wheels. A two-up rotary servo cutting head ensures accurate cutoff adjustments and aims to enable high-speed, hermetically sealed packaging, the company says. Additionally, the wrapper integrates a Videojet Thermal Transfer printer.
New enhancements to the Revolution reportedly include a rounded frame structure that aims to eliminate debris build-up and simplifies sanitation, a two-piece crimper design for quick changeovers, and quick-removable fin wheel assemblies with quick connectors.
The Campbell Revolution can be integrated with automatic feeders, robotic product loading cells, code daters, cartoners, or other equipment. The machine comes standard with a 16-inch web width, with additional optional widths available to meet specific packaging needs. Optional features include advanced detection systems such as no product–no package, out of position product–no cut, and vision inspection. The equipment can be used for a broad range of applications, including bakery and confectionery items, frozen foods, snack bars, and more.
