Having sold numerous machines of its kind to major manufacturers all over the world, Shemesh Automation has recently bolstered its flagship monoblock round wipes packer, the XPANDER with a host of improvements and upgrades.
The XPANDER is a robust, fully automatic, servo driven vertical index machine. It is specifically designed as a single block for the downstream packaging of round, nonwoven wet wipes in cans.
With its unique all-in-one monoblock packaging machine design, the XPANDER encompasses all aspects of round wipes downstream packaging from cans & wipes loading, dosing, and sealing through to capping, labeling, built-in QC and smart weight checking. The XPANDER has a throughput of up to 35ppm and is the only machine of its kind available on the market today.
Its sister unit, the XPANDER+ includes fully automatic feeding, so long as the lid and canister hoppers are kept filled (typically 2 or 3 times per shift), the XPANDER+ can be operated completely ‘hands free’ – delivering even greater operating efficiencies.
Truly universal, all XPANDER machines support both round, conic, rectangular & oval shaped cans, screw and push lids, and wrap around or front and back labelling.
Customers across the Food & Bev, Cosmetics, Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals sectors have already been benefiting from the enhancements made to Shemesh’s flagship STRATUM Automatic servo-driven liquid filling machine.
The STRATUM is Shemesh’s advanced in-line automatic double-servo driven piston filler for viscous and free flowing liquids. Applicable to containers of most common shapes and sizes in the market, STRATUM is capable of filling speeds of up to 180ppm.
The advanced technologies built into the STRATUM significantly lower utilities consumption and overall production costs as well as offering best-in-class filling accuracy. It features FESTO Double Servo Filling technology both in the pistons and the diving nozzles for production consistency and a staggering +/-0.25% of liquid volume accuracy.
