If you’re currently searching for shrink wrap equipment, chances are you’re not just browsing—you’re looking for a solution. Perhaps your line is hitting a bottleneck. Maybe manual wrapping is eating into labour costs. Or you might be growing fast and need kit that keeps up with orders.
Whatever brought you here, one thing is clear: packaging efficiency matters more than ever.
With more than five decades in the industry, Kempner has helped businesses streamline packaging with reliable, high-performance shrink wrap machinery. And when it comes to automatic shrink wrap machines, they’re setting a standard that’s hard to beat.
Let’s explore why.
What Do People Mean by “Shrink Wrap Equipment” Anyway?
Shrink wrap equipment wraps products in shrink film, then uses heat to shrink it tight around the item. The result? A clean, tamper-proof, professional finish.
But modern businesses don’t just need wrapping. They need:
- Throughput
- Reliability
- Cost efficiency
- Lower environmental impact
- Scalability
That’s where automatic shrink wrap machines come in.
From Hand-Wrapping to Automation: The Upgrade That Pays Off
Manual packing can be fine at low volumes, but as soon as output rises, it becomes a bottleneck.
Automatic shrink wrap machines:
- Automatically feed products along the line
- Seal the film consistently
- Pass products through a heat tunnel
- Deliver consistent, high-quality wraps
All with minimal operator input.
Think of it like upgrading from a bicycle to a high-speed train. You still get the same result—just far more efficiently.
How Automatic Shrink Wrap Machines Work
The process is surprisingly simple:
- The product is fed into the machine automatically.
- Shrink film is applied around the product.
- The machine seals the film.
- The product passes through a heat tunnel.
- The film shrinks tightly for a secure finish.
In seconds, you’ve got a wrapped, protected product ready for dispatch or storage.
No guesswork. No inconsistency. Just repeatable perfection.
Shrink Wrap Equipment that’s Engineered for Output
When businesses search for shrink wrap equipment, they often want three things: performance, price, and reliability.
Kempner delivers on all three.

Kempner also offers a variety of large and custom built sealers to suit any customers' requirements.
Smart Engineering Features That Save Film and Increase Uptime
What truly sets Kempner apart isn’t just speed—it’s intelligent engineering.
Radius Seal Blade Join: Cleaner Seals, Less Waste
This feature creates seals without cutting into waste film. The payoff?
- Less scrap
- Lower ongoing film costs
- Cleaner seals
Synchronous Film & Scrap Feed
This ensures:
- Smoother wrapping
- Less film waste
- Better handling of lightweight products
Handle Multipacks Without the Hassle
Packaging irregular or multiple packs? No problem. Kempner machines can handle complex pack profiles without triggering photocells prematurely—meaning fewer stoppages and smoother production.
Centre Seal Function: Use Less Film, Wrap Taller Packs
By aligning the seal to the pack height, Kempner machines can:
- Reduce film use
- Enable taller packs
- Improve cost efficiency
Modern Controls: Touchscreen Operation & Precision Settings
Modern packaging demands precision. Kempner machines include:
- Independent seal bar temperature control
- Adjustable perforators for custom airflow
- Low film loading position for easy roll changes
- Intuitive touchscreen operation
- Kissing conveyors for smooth transfer
Need More Speed? Side Sealers Take You Past 100 Packs/Minute
Need serious speed? Kempner’s fully automatic side sealers can begin at 25–30 packs per minute and scale to 100+ packs per minute.
For fast-moving production lines, that level of throughput can completely transform operations.
Sustainability: A Major Advantage in Modern Packaging
Sustainability isn’t a “nice-to-have” any more. Kempner machines are engineered for low power usage and smooth running with sustainable films.
- Lower power requirements
- Compatibility with recyclable films
- Films containing up to 60% recycled content
- Compostable films with third-party certification
And crucially, these sustainable films run without compromising output or finish.

Common Questions
1) L sealer vs side sealer: what’s the difference?
An L sealer uses an L-shaped bar for individual packs and suits moderate speeds. A side sealer runs continuously and is better for high-speed lines over 100 packs per minute.
2) How many packs per minute can I achieve?
Depending on the model, speeds range from 25 packs per minute to over 100 packs per minute with advanced side sealer configurations.
3) Will Kempner machines run recyclable and compostable films?
Yes. Kempner machines are designed to work with recyclable films (including up to 60% recycled content) and certified compostable materials.
4. Is shrink wrap equipment suitable for irregular products?
Yes—multi-pack functionality and smart photocell handling help wrap irregular or multiple packs smoothly.
5. What should I consider before buying shrink wrap equipment?
Think about required speed, product size, floor space, sustainability targets and budget—Kempner can help match the right machine to your line.
