Pratika 56-T MPS: beyond the limits of continuous automatic shrink-wrapping machines

The PRATIKA 56-T MPS is an automatic shrink-wrapping machine equipped with a Side Seal device.
The acronym MPS identifies the continuous side sealing system, which eliminates product length limits: thanks to this technology, very long or variable-length products, up to 4, 5 or 6 metres, can be packaged while maintaining a continuous workflow and high productivity.

This machine, suitable for packaging formats up to 400 mm wide x 240 mm high, has been upgraded in all its mechanical and electronic components to reach an output of up to 3600 pieces per hour (depending on product dimensions and the film used).

PRATIKA 56-T MPS therefore represents the perfect combination of reliability, high performance, versatility and safety, further evolving the concept of automatic packaging machines with shrink film.
