MACHINES

Engineering, the third component of the Sleever system, is the domain of Sleever Machines , which is entrusted with the joint development and production of a full range of equipment for sleeve conversion: single and double head positioning machines, steam, infrared and hot air shrink equipment and special machines for specific applications. The division is at the service of the group’s production units (Sleevpac®, Decosleeve®, Unisleeve®…) and industrial and contract packaging clients over four continents.

A Sleever pioneer and expert for 35 years, Sleever Machines boasts a team of over 70 engineers and technicians who work with cutting-edge CAC, development (computerisation, automation, movement control), project management and after-sales services (computer assisted maintenance) tools.

Tried and tested technological principles

Recognised the world over for their immense reliability and flexibility, Sleever Machines equipment features fundamental components that are the backbone of Sleever technology: positioning (vertical or horizontal), continuous sleeve transfer, rapid format changeovers, preventive maintenance, etc.

On this basis and thanks to 35 years experience in the markets where the group is present, the division adapts functions and performance to meet the industrial requirements of each project and helps our customers develop this capability over time.

A machine for each project

In addition to its star machines, such as the automatic Powersleeve® series (high speeds from 200 to 800 units/minute), Etisleeve® (for cosmetics and perfumes, 40 to 200 units/minute) and Powershrink® and Etishrink® (infrared technology), Powersteam® (steam) and Powerskinner® (IR and hot air combination) shrink applicators, the division has developed special machines to satisfy the constraints and needs of complex industrial processes.

Pharmasleeve® for example was developed specifically for pharmaceutical applications, in line with GMP standards, and other machines have been developed specially for the packaging requirements of dairy products in ultra-clean humid conditions.
