750 Cut and Wrap Machines

Overview

The ‘750’ range are versatile cut and wrap machines, which has been designed for strength and durability, as well as ease of operation and low maintenance. The machine sizes, shapes, cuts to length and wraps toffee, fruit chew, bubble gum, or high boiled sugar fed in rope form from a Batch Roller/Rope Sizer or extruder. Versions of the ‘750’ machine can produce square, rectangular, round or cylindrical shaped sweets and lollipops, in various wrapping styles.

Sequence of OperationsA rope of confectionery product is fed to the infeed section of the cut and wrap machine. Two pairs of intermittent sizing rollers feed and size the rope to the desired width and thickness. The presence of the rope is detected by a sensor and the PLC signals the paper feed to engage at the correct time, thereby avoiding wrapper wastage.

Paper feeding rollers provide the correct length of paper, which is cut-off by an easily detachable rotary knife. The rope of product is cut to the desired length by a pair of nipping knives (rotary knife on 750WT) and then pushed with the cut wrapper into the wrapping wheel. The wrapping is completed as shown in the diagram, depending upon the desired wrapping style.
