Technical Specifications & Performance DataThe SMI SK450 T is a shrink
wrapping machine for PET bottles, designed for secondary packaging
applications within a used bottling line. Manufactured in 2009, this
second hand unit includes a heating oven for controlled shrink-film
processing and bundle formation. It is configured for industrial
packaging operations requiring stable, transport-ready bottle
packs.Manufacturer: SMIModel: SK450 TYear of production: 2009Capacity:

2x3Advanced Automation & Control SystemsThis shrink wrapping machine
is intended for coordinated operation in an industrial packaging
environment, where bottle infeed, film handling, heat shrinking, and
discharge must remain synchronized. Its operating setup supports
repeatable bundle production for the stated PET bottle formats.
Installation and commissioning should include verification of the
existing control interface, electrical connection, conveyor
synchronization, and heating-oven operating parameters.Production Line
Integration CapabilitiesThe SK450 T can be positioned downstream of
filling, capping, labeling, or accumulation equipment to create
multipacks for distribution. In a beverage production line, shrink
wrapping provides a practical secondary-packaging stage between bottle
handling and palletizing. The machine is suited to PET bottle bundles
in 3x3 and 2x3 arrangements, allowing the line to handle the
documented 0.5L, 0.75L, and 1.5L formats.For integration into a used
bottling line, upstream and downstream conveyors should be matched to
the machines infeed and discharge flow. The heating oven forms part of
the packaging process and should be assessed together with film
transport components, bottle guides, and pack transfer arrangements
during installation planning.Machine Condition & Maintenance
HistoryThe machine is in production and remains operational until 30
September 2026. It is described as being in very good condition, with
regular maintenance and extensive annual overhauls carried out by the
manufacturer. This maintenance history is relevant for buyers seeking
second hand bottling equipment with documented attention to
operational continuity and packaging performance.Operational
Performance & VersatilityWith a stated output of 45 packs per minute,
the SMI SK450 T supports efficient shrink-film bundling of PET bottles
for industrial packaging. The documented pack patterns provide
flexibility for common beverage production formats, including compact
0.5L bundles and larger 0.75L and 1.5L bottle configurations. Shrink
wrapping helps produce stable multipacks suitable for handling,
storage, and onward palletizing.Installation Requirements & Site
PreparationSite preparation should provide sufficient space for the
shrink wrapper, heating oven, safe material flow, and access for
operation and maintenance. The installation layout should account for
bottle conveyors, film supply, bundle discharge, and connection to
downstream packaging machinery. Electrical services and any required
line utilities should be checked against the machine documentation
before commissioning.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationSafe
operation of a shrink wrapping machine requires appropriate
safeguarding around moving packaging sections and heat-generating
areas of the oven. During installation and recommissioning, the buyer
should confirm the condition and function of installed safety devices,
emergency-stop circuits, protective guards, and access arrangements.
Operators should follow established procedures for film replacement,
format adjustment, cleaning, and maintenance around the heated shrink
tunnel.
