Create shrink bundled packages with a single roll platform with printed or clear film; SRX uses a bottom overlap seal technology for a strong seal and improved product presentation

Bartelt and Texwrap, both part of the ProMach family of brands, have joined forces to introduce the Next Generation of single roll bundling systems, the Kayat SRX Series. The SRX Series gives customers the much sought-after packaging equipment for shrink bundling pre-formed trays of product with the option to add graphics with print registered shrink film. This new machine will be demonstrating its capabilities in Bartelt’s booth N-5340 at PACK EXPO, 2022, October. 23-26, at McCormick Place in Chicago.

The SRX Series provides several engineering upgrades for customers looking for a single-roll bundler platform to handle a wide variety of packaged food and beverage products. The SRX Series creates shrink bundled packages with bullseye closures, using a bottom overlap seal technology for a strong seal and better product presentation. The SRX Series is built upon Bartelt’s original Kayat 601 shrink wrapping machine. This partnership between the two companies utilizes customer feedback for much of the engineering upgrades and performance capabilities into the new SRX Series.

“The Kayat 601-T has been a workhorse in the industry for several years now. We wanted to take the popular options typically chosen by customers and make them standard, while updating the design to reflect today’s needs in the industry,” said Tom Tomac, Vice President and General Manager, Bartelt.

Features and benefits of the new Kayat SRX Series include:

• Dual roll film mandrels: increase OEE with a design to minimize changeover time and reduce packaging equipment downtime
• Adjustable wrap bar assembly: able to adjust machine for package height with no change parts
• Superior film sealing and control: wrap-bar mechanism and integrated heat tunnel ensure reliability and high performance
