In what types of packaging is it advisable to use CMB Coolpack?2023-04-11T09:23:17+00:00

From CMB we recommend the Coolpack cold packer to protect and hold furniture kits, large and medium sized furniture, doors, windows and even blinds.

Any object that has a regular shape, is of considerable dimensions and needs some protection, can be packed with the Coolpack obtaining a very good result. In addition, as it is a cold packaging system, the energy consumption required is much lower and more sustainable.

What type of film does the CMB Coolpack use?2023-04-11T09:23:22+00:00

The Coolpack is a cold packer that is characterized by combining bubble film with stretch film, offering extraordinary results.

Bubble film, also known as air bubble, is a plastic material characterized by small air bubbles trapped inside two layers of polyethylene. The main purpose of this material is to protect fragile objects during transportation or storage, as the air bubbles act as a shock absorber that reduces impact and prevents objects from being broken or scratched.

Bubble film is widely used in the packaging industry and comes in different sizes and shapes to suit the needs of each product. It is also used in non-packaging applications, such as in construction to protect windows and other materials during installation.

Stretch film is a plastic material widely used in the packaging industry to protect and secure loads during transportation and storage. It consists of a thin, flexible sheet of polyethylene, which can be stretched to cover and conform to different shapes and sizes of loads. Stretch film is commonly used in the food, textile, pharmaceutical and logistics industries to protect products during storage and transportation. This material has several advantages, including:

  • High strength and durability, which protects the cargo from shocks, scratches and dust.
  • Good adhesion, which holds the cargo together and prevents it from shifting during transport.
  • Flexibility and stretchability, which allows it to adapt to different load shapes and sizes.
  • Transparency, allowing the contents to be seen without having to open the packaging.
When is it more advisable to use the Coolpack instead of the Super P?2023-04-11T09:23:28+00:00

The Coolpack is a cold packer that provides two layers of protection and support for the products it packs. First, it applies a protective bubble film, followed by a layer of stretch film to ensure hold. The Super P, on the other hand, allows you to combine up to 3 layers of protection on top of each other, i.e. it offers a third layer of extra protection. For example, you can add cardboard to the bubble film and stretch film.

Based on these defining characteristics of the two machines, the Super P is recommended in cases where extra protection is needed. In cases where two layers are sufficient, one for protection and the other for support, the Coolpack is the best option for cold packaging.

How does the Coolpack differ from the ERL?2023-04-11T09:23:34+00:00

Although both machines are based on cold packaging systems, there are some singularities that differentiate them and make them optimal for different needs. While the ERL allows the packaging of stacked packages using stretch film, thus guaranteeing a stable hold; the Coolpack combines bubble film with stretch film, offering a double layer of protection. The bubble cushions any shocks and the film ensures a firm hold.

What are the elements of the ERS?2023-08-22T11:50:42+00:00

The ERS consists of an infeed table, which is the place where the product to be packaged is placed; the welding head, which is the part responsible for welding the film to create a tube; the set of metal blades that adjusts the film to the product; and the shrink tunnel that makes the shrink film shrink and fit the product as tightly as possible.

In what phases is the ERS packaging process divided?2023-08-22T11:50:51+00:00

One of the features that characterize the ERS or overlap shrink wrapper is that it is a very fast machine since the product only stops once on the conveyor table during the packaging process. This makes the ERS a very fast machine, ideal for companies that need to obtain high quality finishes at very competitive prices.

In what type of circumstances is it advisable to use the ERS instead of other heat packaging machines?2023-08-22T11:50:44+00:00

CMB offers three different models of heat packaging machines, each designed to meet different needs. The COMBO is very useful when you want to pack products of different sizes without having to change the shrink film reel since the machine detects the size of the package and sends it to the part of the machine that has the film reel that best fits the size. The ERB is ideal for packaging products that require a highly finished finish on textiles, furniture, bed bases, mattresses, wood and automotive accessories. The ERS, on the other hand, is designed for fast packaging of wooden profiles, parquet, slats, moldings or profiles.

What types of film does ERS work with?2023-08-22T11:50:46+00:00

The ERS or overlap shrink wrapper is a heat wrapping machine that uses 100% recyclable shrink film. The main characteristic or attribute of this type of film is that when heat is applied to it, it shrinks and adapts completely to the shape of the product it wraps. Therefore, it is perfect for fast and agile packaging of products or packages of medium and large dimensions, achieving a perfect, beautiful finish and allowing a clear view inside.

What are the stages of the COMBO packaging process?2023-07-13T06:53:47+00:00

The COMBO is a heated packaging machine that is composed of different modules, each of which has a different sized polyethylene shrink film reel. When a package is placed on the conveyor belt or conveyor table, the machine automatically detects its size and directs it to the module with the most suitable film reel for its dimensions. The product is wrapped with the shrink film and directed to the shrink tunnel, where heat is applied and we obtain a completely packaged product protected from external agents. Immediately afterwards, a package with other dimensions can start this process without having to stop the machine to change the film reel.

Is surplus film generated by packaging with this machine?2023-07-13T06:53:50+00:00

No. This is precisely one of the strengths of the COMBO: it allows to pack products of different sizes in a convenient, agile and fast way without generating a huge amount of film waste. The COMBO is capable of automatically detecting the size of the package or product to be packaged and manages it from the part of the machine that has a reel of shrink film of a size more similar to that of the package. This keeps the amount of film waste to a minimum.

What types of film does COMBO use?2023-07-13T06:53:56+00:00

CMB’s COMBO packaging machine works with heat shrink film. It is a 100% recyclable polyethylene film whose main feature is that it shrinks when heat is applied to it. This shrinkage allows it to acquire the shape of the package or product it covers, thus achieving an efficient layer of protection, as if it were a skin or film.

Under what circumstances is it advisable to pack with COMBO?2023-07-13T06:54:00+00:00

If in your company you need to pack products of different sizes and you want to do it with a certain agility, without having to change the film reel depending on the size of the package, the heat wrapping machine you need is the COMBO. This machine is precisely designed for these circumstances: to pack products of different sizes without having to change rolls and, at the same time, without having to dispose of large quantities of film.

How does ERB differ from COMBO and ERS?2023-07-12T07:16:19+00:00

The most different of the three machines is the COMBO, which has been conceived and designed to be able to heat pack products of different sizes without having to change the film reels. The COMBO is perfect for companies that need to pack different product sizes in an agile way, as the same machine detects the size of the package and manages it accordingly.

The ERS and the ERB both operate with a heat packaging system but are designed to meet different needs. While the ERS is ideal for packing packages of the same size that need to be fully visualized, such as moldings or wooden profiles, in a very fast way; the ERB or Barberán Shrink Wrapper can pack products of different sizes and shapes without any problem, offering high quality finishes.

What kind of products can be efficiently packaged with ERB?2023-07-12T07:21:47+00:00

The Barberán ERB or shrink wrapper is ideal for packing objects that have irregular or uneven shapes. It is also a very good option for those cases in which a very tight packaging is required that allows to see perfectly the object that awaits inside. The end result of the ERB is a beautifully finished package that reflects the quality of the product.

The Barberán ERB shrink-wrapper can be used to pack all types of medium and large furniture, wood, mattresses, products for the textile industry and accessories for the automotive sector, among many other things.

What is the ERB packaging process?2023-07-12T07:22:17+00:00

The packaging process of the ERB is very simple and, at the same time, guarantees an optimal result. First, the product to be packed is placed on the conveyor table. This product is then covered with a heat-shrinkable film sheet with welded ends. The sealing head is then lowered and joins the top and bottom of the film. The package then passes through the shrink tunnel where the film shrinks to its shape and volume.

When the package leaves the Barberán ERB shrink wrapper, it is ready to be handled without fear of damaging the wrapping or being affected by external agents such as dirt, dust or water. In addition, the product inside the packaging can be clearly seen at all times, since the stretch film used allows this.

What type of film does the ERB use?2023-07-12T07:22:02+00:00

The Barberán ERB shrink wrapper is a heat shrink packaging machine that uses heat-shrinkable polyethylene film. This film is 100% recyclable and reusable, which makes it a sustainable packaging solution. Moreover, as it is heat-shrinkable, it allows to avoid as much as possible the waste generated by film surpluses.

It is a type of film that shrinks when heat is applied to it, allowing it to adapt very precisely and easily to the product to be packaged. In the case of ERB, the film adheres to the surface of the product as it passes through the shrink tunnel.

What is the packaging process of the Super P?2023-07-04T08:35:55+00:00

The Super P is a module that can be incorporated into any of CMB’s packaging machines in order to achieve an extra layer of protection. It is remarkable for the super protection it offers because it can work with different packaging materials depending on your needs.

The Super P offers two possible types of packaging. In the first case, it allows the product to be fully wrapped, including the top and bottom parts. In the second case, only the top of the package can be wrapped. In both processes, the amount of packaging material waste generated is greatly reduced. 

In the Super P module, this extra layer of protection is added and then finished by wrapping with stretch film by means of a rotating crown or shrink tunnel.

What materials does the Super P pack with?2023-07-04T08:35:43+00:00

The extra layer of protection that Super P offers for your products can be made from the packaging material that best suits your needs. From stretch polyethylene to bubble polyethylene, kraft paper, cardboard in rolls or foamed polyethylene. All materials used in CMB packaging machines and, by extension, Super P, are fully recyclable and reusable. In addition, CMB’s packaging machinery is designed to reduce material waste to a minimum.

How does the Super P differ from the ERL and COOLPACK?2023-07-04T08:35:23+00:00

The main difference between the ERL, COOLPACK and Super P is that the first two are cold packaging machines, while the third one is a module that can be added to the other two in order to obtain an extra layer of protection. 

Another difference is that the ERL uses stretch polyethylene film to protect its products, whereas the COOLPACK combines stretch film with bubble polyethylene film. As for the Super P, you can add an extra layer of protection of any material. The flexibility offered by this module is one of its main attributes.

In which cases is it recommended to pack with Super P?2023-07-04T08:35:12+00:00

CMB recommends the use of the Super P in those cases where an extra layer of protection is required or where the protection offered by the other packaging machines is not sufficient. If the 2 layers of protection of the COOLPACK cold packer are not enough, you can add the Super P module and get an extra layer of protection. The same applies if you need more protection than just a layer of stretch film or shrink film: the Super P can be attached to any of our machines.

In what types of packaging is it advisable to use CMB Coolpack?2023-04-11T09:23:17+00:00

From CMB we recommend the Coolpack cold packer to protect and hold furniture kits, large and medium sized furniture, doors, windows and even blinds.

Any object that has a regular shape, is of considerable dimensions and needs some protection, can be packed with the Coolpack obtaining a very good result. In addition, as it is a cold packaging system, the energy consumption required is much lower and more sustainable.

What type of film does the CMB Coolpack use?2023-04-11T09:23:22+00:00

The Coolpack is a cold packer that is characterized by combining bubble film with stretch film, offering extraordinary results.

Bubble film, also known as air bubble, is a plastic material characterized by small air bubbles trapped inside two layers of polyethylene. The main purpose of this material is to protect fragile objects during transportation or storage, as the air bubbles act as a shock absorber that reduces impact and prevents objects from being broken or scratched.

Bubble film is widely used in the packaging industry and comes in different sizes and shapes to suit the needs of each product. It is also used in non-packaging applications, such as in construction to protect windows and other materials during installation.

Stretch film is a plastic material widely used in the packaging industry to protect and secure loads during transportation and storage. It consists of a thin, flexible sheet of polyethylene, which can be stretched to cover and conform to different shapes and sizes of loads. Stretch film is commonly used in the food, textile, pharmaceutical and logistics industries to protect products during storage and transportation. This material has several advantages, including:

  • High strength and durability, which protects the cargo from shocks, scratches and dust.
  • Good adhesion, which holds the cargo together and prevents it from shifting during transport.
  • Flexibility and stretchability, which allows it to adapt to different load shapes and sizes.
  • Transparency, allowing the contents to be seen without having to open the packaging.
When is it more advisable to use the Coolpack instead of the Super P?2023-04-11T09:23:28+00:00

The Coolpack is a cold packer that provides two layers of protection and support for the products it packs. First, it applies a protective bubble film, followed by a layer of stretch film to ensure hold. The Super P, on the other hand, allows you to combine up to 3 layers of protection on top of each other, i.e. it offers a third layer of extra protection. For example, you can add cardboard to the bubble film and stretch film.

Based on these defining characteristics of the two machines, the Super P is recommended in cases where extra protection is needed. In cases where two layers are sufficient, one for protection and the other for support, the Coolpack is the best option for cold packaging.

How does the Coolpack differ from the ERL?2023-04-11T09:23:34+00:00

Although both machines are based on cold packaging systems, there are some singularities that differentiate them and make them optimal for different needs. While the ERL allows the packaging of stacked packages using stretch film, thus guaranteeing a stable hold; the Coolpack combines bubble film with stretch film, offering a double layer of protection. The bubble cushions any shocks and the film ensures a firm hold.

How does the ERL differ from CMB’s other cold packaging systems?2023-04-11T09:15:52+00:00

The rotary wrap-around packer was the first cold packaging machine we designed and manufactured at CMB. Unlike the COOLPACK and the SUPER P, we could say that the ERL is the simplest option since it only allows packing with one layer of stretch film.

The Coolpack, on the other hand, adds an extra layer of protection, since it protects the product or package of products with a layer of protective film, such as bubble film, before the stretch film.

As for the SUPER P, its name itself refers to the extra layer of protection it offers, since it can offer a third layer of protection in addition to the bubble film and stretch film. This third layer can be made of cardboard, kraft paper or mouse film.

What type of film does the CMB rotary wrap-around packer use?2023-04-11T09:16:00+00:00

The rotary wrap around packer uses stretch film, also known as stretch film or palletizing film, is a transparent and elastic plastic material used to wrap and protect products and goods during transportation and storage.

Stretch film is commonly used in the logistics and transportation industry to ensure the stability of palletized loads, preventing them from shifting or being damaged during transport.

Stretch film is applied by a machine called a stretch wrapper or stretch wrapper, which stretches the film and wraps it around the load, creating a protective layer that fits tightly around the load. The result is a load that is stable, protected and easily handled during transport and storage.

¿Cuándo se recomienda utilizar la embaladora rotativa envolvente?2023-04-11T09:19:20+00:00

La embaladora rotativa envolvente tiene una serie de características que la convierten en una magnífica opción para embalar paquetes de formas regulares apilados con una buena garantía de sujeción. Se recomienda su uso en aquellos casos en los que se necesite embalar de forma contínua independientemente del tamaño del producto. Se utiliza en casos en los que las formas de los paquetes son regulares y se corresponden con formas más o menos simétricas.

Las embaladoras ERL tienen la ventaja de tener un amplísimo abanico de productos potencialmente susceptibles de poder ser embalados con film estirable, como por ejemplo: Muebles grandes dimensiones, muebles pequeñas dimensiones, mueble kit, puertas, ventanas, planchas apiladas, textil, poliestireno, persianas, tubos, etc.

What packaging system does the rotary wrap-around packer use?2023-04-11T09:16:17+00:00

CMB’s rotary wrap around packer is a machine that is included in cold packaging systems. This means that it wraps the products with a stretch film that adheres to the surface of the products becoming a skin layer that protects them from the environment and keeps the pieces or products that make up the pack together and still.

In the case of cold packaging systems, it is not necessary to apply heat to the stretch film, which makes them energy-saving systems without sacrificing quality packaging. In addition, in the case of the rotary wraparound packer, it is not necessary to adapt the size of the reel to the product to be packaged.

When do we recommend heat packaging from CMB?2023-04-06T11:04:53+00:00

Heat shrink packaging systems, also known as heat shrink systems, are useful in a variety of situations where you want to protect and stabilize products for transport and storage.

Here are some cases in which CMB recommends the use of heat shrink packaging systems:

  1. To protect products during transport: heat packaging can provide an additional layer of protection for products being transported, especially if they are irregularly shaped, fragile or delicate.
  2. To improve product presentation: heat packaging can improve the appearance of products by reducing the amount of air and void space in the package, which can make products look more attractive.
  3. To stabilize products: heat packaging can help stabilize products inside the package, which can prevent damage and reduce the amount of waste.
  4. To increase durability: heat packaging can help increase the durability of products by protecting them from the elements and preventing oxidation.
  5. To reduce package size: heat packaging can reduce package size, which can reduce shipping and storage costs.
  6. To comply with health and safety regulations: some products require special packaging to comply with health and safety regulations, and heat packaging systems can be an effective option to achieve this.
What is the name of the plastic used in heat packaging?2023-04-06T11:05:09+00:00

In heated packaging systems, low density polyethylene (LDPE) or high density polyethylene (HDPE) film is generally used as the material for the plastic wrap. LDPE is the most commonly used material because of its ability to stretch and form a uniform layer around the object being packaged. It is also tear and puncture resistant, making it ideal for protecting fragile products during transportation and storage.

What are the types of heated packaging offered by CMB?2023-04-06T11:05:18+00:00

CMB offers you three heat wrapping machines that adapt to multiple needs.

If you need a machine that can heat pack products of different sizes in an agile way without the need to change the film reel, the COMBO is your best option.
If you need a packaging machine that guarantees a perfect finish that allows you to see the product inside in an optimal way and is also fast packing, the ERB is the machine for you.

If your needs include fast and efficient packaging of flat pieces with regular shapes, the ERS, or overlap shrink wrapper, is the model to choose.

What is industrial packaging with heat?2023-04-06T11:05:34+00:00

Industrial heat packaging refers to the process of applying heat to certain packaging materials to get them to soften and conform around an object or product to be packaged. This can be done using a heat packaging machine such as those offered by CMB.

The heat wrapping process generally involves the following steps:

  • Place the object or product on the base of the heat wrapping machine where it is wrapped with heat shrink film.
  • Activate the heat packaging machine to apply heat to the plastic film.
  • The film will soften and shrink around the object or product.
  • Once properly adjusted, the heat application is stopped and the packaged object or product is removed.

Industrial heat packaging is commonly used to protect and secure products during transportation and storage. This method of packaging is especially useful for products that are fragile or have irregular shapes, as the heat allows the plastic film to fit more tightly and adhere more firmly around the product.

Why is industrial packaging machinery used in many industries?2023-04-06T11:28:18+00:00

Industrial packaging can fulfil a wide range of functions once the product leaves the factory: from fastening and joining a set of parts, to protecting them from dust, moisture, bumps and scratches, and much more. Depending on the product in question and the means of transport chosen for distribution, among other issues, different types of machines and packaging materials will be chosen.

There are many reasons that lead industries to acquire their machinery for industrial packaging. One of the most frequent is that it is an effective way to avoid damage to the product, allowing quality to be maintained throughout the distribution process: from the moment the product leaves the factory until it reaches the final customer.

Having machines that allow the packaging process to be carried out within the industry is also a way to make the production process profitable, by optimizing the processes and not depending on a third party for packaging.

Which industries use industrial cold packaging machines for their products?2023-04-06T11:28:23+00:00

Cold packaging has a high degree of versatility, allowing you to pack products of different sizes and materials. It is recommended for pieces that do not have irregular protrusions, whose morphology is as regular as possible. It is worth clarifying that it is not a type of packaging for the end customer, since over time it loses its properties.

Some of the sectors that use cold packaging machines are the following:

  • Furniture industry
  • Window manufacturers
  • Door manufacturers
  • Textile industry
  • Profile manufacturers
  • Tube manufacturers
What materials do cold-working industrial packaging machines use?2023-02-13T09:38:38+00:00

Industrial cold packaging machinery uses different materials, depending on the products to be packed. Stretch polyethylene film, bubble film and corrugated cardboard sheets are among the most chosen, due to their properties to adjust and protect different products, as well as the fact that they are recyclable.

They can also combine up to 3 different materials, to provide greater protection. The COOLPACK model, for example, allows packaging with stretch film and bubble film, to offer all products the best support, without sacrificing insulation. The SUPER P machine adds to these two materials a third, corrugated cardboard sheets, to offer the highest level of protection.

The use of recyclable polyethylene film, without additional layers, is perfect for holding and protecting from dust. It is a system that can be adapted to all possible shapes and objects and that is economical, since it does not require an adaptation of the coil for the packaging process, nor any contribution of heat.

What industrial packaging machinery is needed for cold packing?2023-02-13T09:38:08+00:00

At CMB, we have three models of industrial cold packaging machinery. Each of them is recommended to be used in different industries, according to the types of products they work with. One of the great advantages of this type of packaging is that it is much cheaper than others, since it does not require the adaptation of the coil for the packaging process, nor any contribution of heat, as it happens in the shrink system.

The ERL is a wraparound rotary baler that uses recyclable polyethylene film and is specially designed to pack products of different dimensions and shapes. This machine has an innovative automatic packaging technology, which allows achieving maximum production, with the minimum added cost. 

The COOLPACK model offers a higher degree of protection, thanks to the combination of two recyclable polyethylene film materials: bubble film and stretch film. In this way, the products have a double insulation: the bubble provides insulation, while the stretch film guarantees support. 

The SUPER P packaging machine provides super protection, since it has a system that allows you to pack any object with all kinds of materials, such as stretch film, corrugated cardboard sheets and bubble film. Its system allows superimposing layers of different materials, depending on the product to be packed, offering the highest level of protection.

What packaging machinery after-sales service does CMB offer you?2023-04-06T11:28:35+00:00

At CMB, we not only help our clients to make the best decision during the purchase process through 100% personalized advice, after studying their industry and understanding their needs. We also provide the best after-sales service, to accompany customers to take the first steps with our packers.

One of the strengths of our machines is that they can be started up and start operating with the greatest efficiency, without the need for a long adaptation period. Thanks to our after-sales service, at CMB we can accompany our customers during this initial stage, in which doubts may arise and there is usually a need for accompaniment.

Does CMB manufacture bespoke packaging machinery?2023-04-06T11:28:40+00:00

One of the great advantages of CMB machines is that they have the highest degree of customization. This allows them to adapt better than any other to the needs and particularities of each industry.

All our machines consist of 70% standardized and 30% customized. In this way, no two are the same, since we take care of adjusting the design of the machine to the needs of the end customer.

Among the issues that we can adjust are, for example, the height of the machine, or the loading system of the products. The objective is that the machine can adapt and make more efficient the production process of the industry to which it is incorporated.

What kind of packaging machinery will you find at CMB?2023-02-09T12:14:23+00:00

At CMB, we design and manufacture state-of-the-art industrial packaging machines, with the most innovative technology. Thanks to the variety of models we produce, we can adjust to the requirements of factories in different sectors.

On our website, you can find all the details of our machines for industrial cold and hot packaging. In turn, we have three different models of each of them.

At CMB, we manufacture three models of cold packaging machinery:

  • ERL: this is an enveloping rotary baler that uses stretch film.
  • COOLPACK: is a cold packer that combines bubble film and stretch film.
  • SUPER P: This cold machine offers the highest level of protection, with application of corrugated cardboard sheets, in addition to stretchable polyethylene film and bubble film.

On the other hand, the heat packaging machinery that we design at CMB are also of three types:

  • ERB: is a baler that uses heat shrink film.
  • COMBO: this baler uses shrink film and has an automatic system for choosing the film width, depending on the size of the product.
  • ERS: this baler uses shrink film and bottom weld by overlapping, to achieve high-quality finishes and ensure maximum protection of the product.
What are the benefits of having packaging machinery for a company?2023-02-09T12:13:56+00:00

Having industrial packaging machinery is an investment that any company that wants to pack its products should make. Whether they are large or medium-sized products and various materials, there are ideal machines to cover different types of industrial requirements.

One of the biggest benefits that the fact of having packaging machinery brings to a company is to be able to carry out the packaging process in the factory itself. This not only contributes to making the production process profitable, but also prevents damage to the product and maintains quality from the beginning of the distribution process, until the final delivery of the product to the customer. Keep in mind that packaging is the first thing customers will see when they receive your products, so it must be of the highest quality.

On the other hand, one of the great advantages of our machines is that we can customize 30% of them so that they can adjust, in the best possible way, to the requirements of your industry. 

When is it advisable to use cold packaging solutions?2023-02-09T11:41:30+00:00

Cold packaging uses polyethylene film, a material that allows tying, packing and protecting objects in a simple and practical way, with a result that provides safety and fastening at the same time to all packaged products, making it possible for them to arrive at their destination in perfect condition.

This type of packaging is ideal for parts that do not have irregular protrusions, such as doors. It is a simple and economical type of packaging, which is indicated for transport to the distribution warehouses.

It is important to keep in mind that this is a packaging that is not recommended for products that go directly to the end customer, since over time it could lose properties. In addition, its finish is not optimal as offered by heat packaging.

What packaging materials do we use at CMB?2023-04-06T11:28:53+00:00

Our packaging machinery can use different types of materials, according to the requirements of each industrial sector. Polyethylene stretch film and bubble film are the most commonly used, although corrugated cardboard sheets can also be used. These are recyclable materials, which are key to making the production process more sustainable.

Stretch film is one of the most efficient solutions for industries when packing. Some of its great advantages are:

  • It allows accelerating the processes: the stretch film allows the packaging in horizontal and continuous system of stacked pallets with a high degree of fastening, without suffering any setback and in a quick and simple way.
  • It is very economical: by not requiring heat for adjustment, this type of packaging produces great energy savings.
  • Great versatility: stretch film packaging allows you to pack a wide range of products, such as large and small furniture, doors, windows, stacked sheets, textiles and polyethylene, and many more.

Heat shrink film is one used by machines with heat. It is a transparent polyethylene film that, when heated, shrinks and offers an optimal and long-lasting fit. In addition, it allows you to visualize the product inside, making it ideal for the end customer.

Bubble film and corrugated cardboard sheets are often used as a complement to cling film, to increase the degree of protection. They are usually used in products that have a certain fragility, or those that will be transported in certain conditions that require greater protection.

When is it advisable to use heat packaging solutions?2023-04-06T11:28:58+00:00

This type of solution works by subjecting packaging materials, in this case retractable polyethylene, to heat, with the aim that it contracts and adapts to the product. In this way, it provides greater support and offers greater protection to the products, against dust, water and other factors that can damage them. 

In addition, thanks to the adjustment offered by this type of machine, a better aesthetic finish of the packaging is achieved, and it is even possible to visualize the product inside. For this reason, heat packaging is the most recommended for the end customer.

It is also because of the type of adjustment offered by the film when it comes into contact with heat, that these machines are the most recommended for those cases in which pieces with irregular shapes are packed.

What is the difference between cold and heat packaging solutions?2023-02-09T11:17:07+00:00

At CMB, we produce cold and hot packaging machines. Cold packaging, also known as “bandaged packaging”, is one that uses stretchable polyethylene, which is a material that stretches with cold and shrinks without the need for heat. On the other hand, heat packaging uses shrink polyethylene, which is a film that, when temperature is applied, adapts to the shape of the product.

Their main differences are:

  • While both use polyethylene film, one packs by bandaging, while the other does so by shrinking the material through the application of heat.
  • Heat packaging lasts longer than cold packaging.
  • Cold packaging uses less energy
  • Heat packaging supports products with morphologies with greater variations.
  • Cold packaging supports the use of bubble film.

Because of these differences is that not all industries can make use of the same machines. This will depend on a series of issues, such as how fragile the product is, its shape and dimensions and how it will be transported, among others. 

Why is it worth investing in CMB machines?2023-04-06T11:27:47+00:00

At CMB, we have been manufacturing packaging machinery for industries in various sectors for more than 30 years. Our long history, together with the extensive experience we have in this sector, function as the seal of guarantee of all our machines.

On the other hand, we can say, with complete certainty, that our machines are a smart investment, since they not only allow to optimize the packaging process thus cutting costs in materials and energy, but also have a much longer service life than most.

It is also worth investing in our machines because these are 70% standard and 30% customization, so no two teams are the same. In this way, we adapt the designs to the needs of each of our clients. If necessary, for example, we can raise or lower them, as well as adapt the loading platforms to the product to be packed.

On the other hand, our after-sales service is unmatched. Through it, we accompany our customers and train them so that they can get the most out of the machines from the first moment.

What sectors are CMB packaging solutions for?2023-04-06T11:27:51+00:00

CMB industrial packaging machines are used in those industries that require packaging medium and large products. While we specialize in wood and aluminium parts, we also have extensive experience designing machines to cover other materials and smaller products.

Among our clients, manufacturers of furniture of different types, doors, windows, irons, textiles, mouldings, blinds and tubes, among others, stand out. As these are products regularly, normally this type of customer select between one of our models to pack cold, according to their specific requirements. 

Depending on the level of protection they need, they can decide between the ERL, COOLPACK and SUPER P models. It is worth clarifying that those who choose this type of machine generally do not sell their products to the end customer, since the cold packaging does not have enough duration or the finish indicated for the B2C type trade.

However, we are also selected by factories that produce mattresses, automotive accessories and other products, usually irregularly shaped and / or that need better quality finishes to be able to sell to the end customer. 

In these cases, our customers use heat packaging machines that use heat shrink film, since this fits perfectly to the shape of the products and even allow seeing the contents of their interior. Depending on the level of protection they need, the characteristics of the materials and the shape of the products to be packaged, this type of industry can choose between the ERB, ERS and COMBO models.

What sustainable packaging solutions does CMB offer you?2023-02-09T10:56:42+00:00

At CMB, we strive to wrap our products with recyclable materials and to design smart machines that can save energy and minimize material waste. In this way, we aim to reduce the carbon footprint of the packaging process of our machines as much as possible.

Both the shrink polyethylene film used by CMB cold packaging machines, and the shrink film used by heat machines, are recyclable. The use of packaging of this type for industry allows companies to contribute to the care of the environment and minimize the contribution to the carbon footprint.

On the other hand, although cold packaging machines – such as the ERL, COOLPACK and SUPER P series – use less energy than heat machines, we have developed the Ecotherm system, which prevents temperature losses, optimizes the recirculation of heat flow and improves film shrinkage. In this way, it allows reducing by up to 45% the amount of energy used in the heat packaging process.   

In addition, all our machines are designed to optimize the packaging process to the maximum, which entails numerous benefits for companies, especially, highlighting the great savings involved in choosing machinery that allows packaging products wasting the minimum amount of material possible.

What types of machinery can CMB offer you?2023-02-09T10:55:42+00:00

At CMB, we have been manufacturing industrial packaging machinery for large and medium-sized products for more than 30 years. We have six different models of packaging machines: three of them are for cold packaging and the other three are for heat packaging.

Cold packaging machines use stretch film and have the great advantage of spending less energy than those that use heat, so they can make a big difference in saving costs. The models we have in CMB are the following:

  • ERL: it is a wraparound rotary baler that is ideal for packaging large products, such as furniture of all sizes, kit furniture, doors, windows, stacked plates, textiles, and many more.
  • COOLPACK: it is a packaging machine that combines bubble film with stretch film, allowing to obtain high protection along with low-energy consumption.
  • SUPER P: This model allows a wide variety of packaging materials to be combined in overlapping layers, such as shrink polyethylene, film mousse, bubble film and sheet cardboard. This allows you to achieve the highest level of protection.

Heat packaging machines, on the other hand, are those that are ideal for packaging products with irregular shapes, since they use heat shrink film that adjusts to various shapes. In this way, it also has a more aesthetic and durable finish than that obtained with cold machines.

  • ERB: This shrink baler is composed of two packaging modules: the welding head and the shrink tunnel.
  • ERS: The overlapping shrink baler is designed to work with shrink film and under-overlapping welding to cover the product completely.
  • COMBO: it is ideal for packaging products of different sizes without interruptions, since the system detects the dimensions of the package to be packed and selects the appropriate film reel for each product.
