Disruptive Compact Line Layout

To help shrink-wrap their latest, squared bottles alongside the traditional rounded ones, a Swiss company needed a flexible, compact and easy-to-handle shrink-wrapping system for film packs and tray plus film packs.

Part of Swiss M-Industry (Migros Group), Bischofszell Nahrungsmittel AG (BINA) is driving the increasing health and wellness trend in the country via new formats for their organic juices and iced teas. To help shrink-wrap their latest, squared bottles alongside the traditional rounded ones, BINA needed a flexible, compact and easy-to-handle shrink-wrapping system for film packs and tray plus film packs. The solution came from Sidel in the form of a lean, unifilar 90° infeed system integrated into one of their proven shrink-wrappers to deliver a reliable, disruptive and compact line layout.
