How Can a Complete Automated Shrink Packaging Line Be Planned for 14 lb and 50 lb Heavy Bundled Woven Ropes While Reducing Handling Risks?

Bundled woven ropes are heavy and bulky. When connecting upstream operations with packaging equipment, the line must not only allow products to enter packaging smoothly, but also reduce the workload and safety risks associated with repeatedly handling heavy products.

This project was developed for an overseas company requiring a packaging solution for bundled woven ropes in two weight specifications: 14 lb and 50 lb. The customer wanted to improve its existing packaging method, reduce manual handling of heavy products between processes, and add dust, moisture, and external protection through shrink packaging for subsequent storage and transportation.

After evaluating product weight, dimensions, shape, feeding method, packaging requirements, and shrink conditions, Benison planned the integrating production line, a customized automatic sleeve type wrapping machine with perforation device, and a shrink tunnel designed for PE film. The result is an integrated shrink packaging solution that moves heavy bundled woven ropes through wrapping, shrinking, and cooling in sequence.


How Can Four-Side Sealing and Shrink Packaging Improve Protection for Large Bundled Woven Ropes?

In addition to their heavy weight, bundled woven ropes are also bulky. Packaging therefore needs to account for PE film sealing, the release of trapped air inside the package, and effective cooling and setting after heat shrinking.

Benison customizes the Auto Sleeve-Type Wrapping Machine according to the product and packaging requirements, enabling four-side sealing with PE film. A film perforation device allows trapped air to escape during heat shrinking so the film can conform more closely to the product shape. A PE film shrink tunnel with cooling system then rapidly cools and stabilizes the film, supporting dust protection, moisture resistance, and external protection.

▍Packaging Challenges

This project presented three primary packaging challenges:

  1. Heavy woven ropes increase manual handling demandsThe 14 lb and 50 lb bundled woven ropes are heavy. Repeated carrying and placement between processes can increase operator workload, making it necessary to redesign how the upstream and downstream equipment are connected.
  2. Bulky size and irregular shapeBundled woven ropes are bulky and do not have the fixed, flat surfaces of products such as cartons. Their dimensions, shape, and package integrity must therefore be considered when planning the equipment and packaging method.
  3. Dust and moisture protection for storage and transportationDuring storage, handling, and long-distance transportation, woven ropes may be exposed to moisture, dust, and other environmental factors. An outer protective package is therefore required to reduce the risk of moisture exposure and contamination.

▍Benison's Packaging Solution

To address these requirements, Benison evaluated the complete line from product feeding through the finished shrink package. The line configuration includes:

  • Integration for heavy bundled woven ropes
  • Customized automatic sleeve type wrapping machine
  • Film perforation device
  • PE shrink film and dedicated PE film shrink tunnel

By integrating the production line, the 14 lb and 50 lb bundled woven ropes can move smoothly into packaging with less repeated handling of heavy products. The sleeve wrapping machine and shrink tunnel are then customized to support package integrity and product protection.

How Can Manual Handling of Heavy Bundled Woven Ropes Between Processes Be Reduced?

Benison plans the equipment integration according to the weight, dimensions, and site conditions of the 14 lb and 50 lb bundled woven ropes. This allows the heavy products to enter the sleeve wrapping machine and shrinking process smoothly, reducing repeated lifting, carrying, and repositioning while lowering operator workload and the safety risks associated with handling heavy products.

How Can Package Integrity Be Improved for Irregularly Shaped Bundled Woven Ropes?

Based on the dimensions, shape, and protection requirements of the bundled woven ropes, Benison customizes the sleeve wrapping machine to provide four-side PE film sealing. A film perforation device helps trapped air escape during shrinking, allowing the PE film to shrink more closely around the irregular product shape and improving overall package integrity for storage and transportation.

How Can Package Integrity Be Maintained During Handling After Shrinking?

Immediately after heat shrinking, the PE film remains hot, soft, and not yet fully set. Cooling system installed at the shrink tunnel rapidly lower the film temperature and help it set before handling. This reduces the risk of the softened film sticking or tearing during collection and transport, helping maintain package integrity after the shrinking process.

What Are the Advantages of This Packaging Line?

This solution is planned around the characteristics of 14 lb and 50 lb heavy bundled woven ropes. By integrating upstream and downstream equipment, it reduces the need to repeatedly handle heavy products between processes, lowers operator workload and handling risks, and allows products in different weight specifications to enter packaging smoothly.

For bulky, irregularly shaped woven ropes that require reliable protection during storage and transportation, Benison integrates a customized sleeve wrapping machine with four-side sealing and film perforation, together with a dedicated PE film shrink tunnel and cooling system, providing a complete shrink packaging solution for improved packaging integrity and product protection.

Suitable Applications

In addition to bundled woven ropes, this PE heat shrink packaging solution for heavy products can be evaluated for:

  • Rope products: woven ropes, industrial ropes, and large rope coils
  • Coiled products: hoses, wires, and large rolled materials
  • Industrial products: carbon fiber, large components, industrial consumables, and grouped products
  • Building materials: construction materials and large products requiring outer protection

Actual suitability should be tested and evaluated based on product dimensions, weight, shape, packaging material, and production conditions.

▍Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Can 14 lb and 50 lb bundled woven ropes use the same packaging line? Equipment can be planned according to different product weights, dimensions, and feeding conditions. In this project, both 14 lb and 50 lb specifications were evaluated so the products could connect with packaging according to actual requirements. The final configuration should still be confirmed through product samples and production conditions.
  2. Why does the PE film for large bundled woven ropes need perforation? Air can easily remain trapped inside the PE film when packaging large products. Film perforation allows the trapped air to escape during heat shrinking, reducing interference with film shrinkage and helping the PE film conform more closely to the product shape.
  3. Why does PE film need to be cooled after shrinking? Immediately after heat shrinking, PE film remains hot, soft, and not yet fully set. Cooling system at the shrink tunnel outlet rapidly lower the film temperature and help it set and stabilize, reducing the risk of sticking or tearing during collection and handling and helping maintain package integrity.
