ARPAC, a distinguished leader in the packaging machinery industry, introduces a new dedicated automatic stretch focus factory in response to its rapidly growing customer demands. Recognizing that the automatic stretch business is a vital part of our continued growth strategy, ARPAC has built and implemented an ISO-9000:2008 automatic stretch focus factory that is up and running in Schiller Park, Illinois. The focus factory is vertically integrated with dedicated engineering, operations and material management. All employees are crosstrained, allowing for flexibility to support the dynamic needs of our customers.
The automatic stretch focus factory relies on visual manufacturing, work cells, Kanbans and various other lean tools to fuel success. The use of monitors for scheduling and automated purchasing are a few of the paperless processes driving efficiencies. This display of lean manufacturing in action is a cornerstone of ARPAC’s guiding principles.
The automatic machines built in the factory are the PAC Series, the new POD systems, the new Electro-wrap, the new ARBOT and many more.

THE ARPAC GROUP is heading down to Atlanta Georgia to participate at the Modex Show at the Georgia World Congress Center February 6-8 2012. Come speak to the ARPAC team about our equipment, service center and our integration process.
We will be demonstrating some of our stretch equipment. ARPAC provides semi and fully automatic stretch wrapping equipment in several configurations to wrap practically anything. ARPAC pallet stretch wrappers can pallet wrap both stable and unstable pallet loads with speeds of up to 30 RPM. Our stretch wrappers are capable of running a wide variety of sizes, and handle all standard stretch film widths. With load capacities ranging from 3,000 lbs. to unlimited weight, you are sure to find the right system to fit your needs.
We will be at booth #4300. See ya’ll there!

This week, at ARPAC University, we had our first Spanish training ever. ARPAC strongly believes that good operation and maintenance training drives improved business results. As an owner of an ARPAC machine, your machine operators and maintenance personnel are invited to attend our free, regularly scheduled training courses at our training and education center known as ARPAC University©. Our classroom setting and professional demo room at ARPAC University© enable us to deliver exceptional training.
The courses offered at ARPAC University© are designed to deliver operational and maintenance training on ARPAC shrink wrappers, shrink bundlers, BRANDPAC®, corrugated packers and stretch wrapping machines. In addition, we offer classes on shrink and stretch films, corrugated board and other consumables used in packaging machinery.
We look forward to many more trainings in Spanish in the future!
ARPAC is excited to feature the XLR8 Servo-Driven Side Seal Horizontal Shrink Wrapper at the Pack Expo 2011 Las Vegas Show, Booth # C-1000. The XLR8 side seal horizontal shrink wrapper is one of the most versatile, servo-driven packaging machines on the market today! It is capable of wrapping up to 100 packages per minute in clear or print registered film. The seal bar can be converted from a horizontal to vertical configuration to accomodate taller products.

The continuous motion XLR8 film folding system eliminates the need for multiple forming heads with its adjustable film former. Unlike conventional film inverters, the XLR8 film path ensures equal transfer of grouped products onto the film without skewing the product configuration making it ideal for multipacks and irregular shaped products. The XLR8‘s unique film forming and feed method will use up to 2″ less film than similar competitive machines. In addition, the single wound film requirement increases the film capacity by more than 100% thus improving productivity and reducing downtime caused by film change. �
�
Multi-axis servo-driven operation offers precise electronic control for immediate and accurate sealing action, ensuring strong, consistent seals. The seal opening height is electronically programmed to vary with product height, maximizing output speeds for smaller products. The servo pouch length adjustment enables “on-the-fly” bag length changes without changing the flight spacing. All adjustments are made from the operator side of the machine and product changeovers can be completed quickly and easily.
For more information on our XLR8 Horizontal Shrink Wrapper, please contact us at info@arpac.com or 847-678-4871. We look forward to hearing from you!
ARPAC to Feature the AGR Dairy Shrink Bundler at the Pack Expo Las Vegas 2011 Show, Booth # C-1000
The AGR Series is specifically designed and built for dairy and food processing.
