Working principle The lollipops are being transported through the hopper towards the feeding disk. The unwrapped lollipops are transported further via a chain towards the twisthead. Cable free twisters in the twisthead will bunchwrap the lollipops after which the lollipops are being transported out of the wrapping machine via a chute or popcounter system. The GEA Aquarius BunchWrappers energy consumption is very low, because the wrapping machine uses direct, cable free, electrically heated diaphragms for sealing the wrapping material around the lollipop stick. The revolutionary (patented) film feeding ensures precise positioning, reduced film usage and it allows a wider range of types and qualities of films. When using the option automatic splicing unit, the automatic change of film is being ensured without standstill of the wrapping machine. Working principle Low energy consumption Revolutionary acurate film feeding to ensure positioning film (patented) Cable free electrically heated diaphragms Automatic film change without standstill wrapping machine Closed machine housing Performance To enhance efficiency the BunchWrapper can be enhanced with a double film reel support, splicing unit and/ or a PopCounter that automatically counts lollipops or rejects pre-defined imperfect wrapped lollipops. The GEA Aquarius BunchWrapper 600 or 800 can be equipped with and integrated GEA Aquarius Quality Assurance System. It automatically checks every lollipop on wrapping material and wrapping quality. A lollipop that does not meet your quality standards is automatically rejected and removed from your main product flow. The potential cost savings are substantial in terms of the fewer operator-hours needed to manually check the final product.
