Apparatus for producing heat-shrinkable packaging with integrated hand-hold

Abstract

Apparatus for producing heat-shrinkable packaging with an integrated hand-hold with a circuitous path extending from an input loading/unloading zone, a section where the open portion of a heat-shrinkable bag is sealed shut and creating a container in which an object is enclosed, a section in which heat is applied directly to exposed areas of the plastic film of the package for sealing the package, and a section of path enabling the package to cool; trolley apparatus for supporting the package and engaging the circuitous path for movement of the package along the circuitous path; and protrusions positioned along the circuitous path for propelling the device along the designated track route.

1 . Apparatus for producing heat-shrinkable packaging with an integrated hand-hold, comprising:
 a circuitous path extending from an input loading/unloading zone, a section where the open portion of a heat-shrinkable bag is sealed shut and creating a container in which an object is enclosed, a section in which heat is applied directly to exposed areas of the plastic film of the package for sealing the package, and a section of path enabling the package to cool;   trolley devices for supporting the package and engaging the circuitous path for movement of the package along the circuitous path; and   protrusions positioned along the circuitous path for propelling the device along the designated track route.
