It comes equipped with easy-access "gull wing" guard doors, which provide a clear view of all moving belts and chains. The multipacker also features an innova- tive Robo-Wand wrapping section and a servo-driven film-cutting system that al- lows for wide product range capabilities, increased speed and reliability.
