 N/A The LX-150 can be rolled up to any conveyor to provide accurate shrink sleeve placement up to 300 products per minute. The machine's sturdy design and construction provides for 24 hour operation, while its' standard dual unwind system allows continued operation with only a brief splicing stop. Product runs are programmed with the user-friendly touch-screen control panel HMI, featuring standard and custom menus that can be password protected for an added layer of security.

VERSATILITY AND RELIABILITY
Every LX Series machine is designed with servo driven, PLC controlled label drive rollers, cutter assembly, and label shooting wheels to provide accurate and consistent shrink sleeve labeling. LX-150 is constructed using 304 grade stainless steel to provide strength and reduce vibration while offering quiet operation. LX-150 has been engineered to handle oval and round containers made of plastic, glass, or metal at speeds of up to 300cpm. Users also have the option of purchasing additional mandrels for non-cylindrical containers. The multiple blade rotational cutting mechanism provides extremely smooth, even cutting of film ranging from 35 microns up to 70 microns.

GUARANTEED PRECISION. QUICK CHANGEOVER.
Size change overs are simple and quick. The cut length can be changed electronically by utilizing the control panels' touch screen interface. For different product diameters, a new timing screw and bullet (mandrel) can be installed in minutes, while different product heights are accommodated by raising or lowering the machine with a turn-screw mechanism. The LX-150 comes with our quick change system for switching mandrels with a turn of a knob. Along with the mandrel, the cutter assembly has only two levers to turn, keeping your downtime to a minimum.

THE RIGHT CHOICE
Rugged design. Maximum uptime. Lower cost of ownership. Your benefits go on and on. When it comes to shrink sleeve and tamper band application, rely on American Film & Machinery to provide the right solution for your shrink sleeve labeling needs.
