Denmark-based Tentoma Packaging Solutions has introduced a new vacuum unit designed to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of packaging operations.

The new unit, which is an addition to the company's RoRo StretchPack packaging machines, aims to streamline the collection of film snippets during the packaging process.

The unit allows for these snippets to be collected in any container, providing flexibility and independence from the packaging machine's location.

This technology is expected to improve the stability of packaging lines by enabling high-speed wrapping while efficiently removing excess film.

Several companies use Tentoma's RoRo StretchPack packaging machine for trimming the film ends to ensure uniform packaging.

The collection of these trimmed film snippets is essential for maintaining a stable and tidy packaging process.

The new vacuum unit not only facilitates this but also contributes to sustainability efforts, as the snippets can be recycled.

Previously, Tentoma could only offer a vacuum unit with an integrated standard container for snippet collection.

The company currently offers two vacuum unit options: one with an integrated container and another for an external container.

The vacuum unit with an integrated container is designed to remove and collect the trimmed film snippets within the unit itself.

In contrast, the vacuum unit for an external container enables the collection and transfer of snippets into a separate container chosen by the customer. This flexibility is seen as a significant advancement in the packaging sector.
