Integrated automation for precise cup counting and secure polyethylene flow wrapping
Efficiency and accuracy are essential when handling lightweight and high-volume products such as plastic cups. The solution shown in the video demonstrates a fully automated system designed to streamline the counting and packaging process, ensuring consistent product stacks and reliable wrapping performance.
At the core of the system is a special cupcounter unit equipped with two independent cup stack separation sections. This configuration maximizes operational continuity and allows precise grouping of cups before packaging. The result is uniform stacks that move smoothly to the wrapping stage without product misalignment or interruptions.
Once counted, the stacks are transferred to the Micropack PRO LTS flow-wrapper, engineered for polyethylene film applications. The machine features a wire-cut transverse sealing system, delivering clean and secure seals even at high speeds. This ensures that each pack is compact, stable, and ready for downstream handling, storage, or distribution.
The integration of counting and wrapping into a single automated workflow reduces manual intervention, increases throughput, and enhances overall packaging consistency. The system is particularly suitable for manufacturers and suppliers in the disposable plastics and food service sectors where speed and precision are critical.
