Axon, a Pro Mach brand, will unveil the Aurora SS mandrel-style shrink film applicator at the 2013 International Dairy Show scheduled to be held during 3 to 6 November 2013 in the US.
The Aurora SS is said to be capable of applying labels, tamper evident bands and multipacks with speeds of about 300BPM with a film layflat width range of 50mm to 200mm.
