Axon Debuts Safety Interlock System for ThermoPoint® Steam-Heat Tunnels at Pack Expo 2012

Oct 28, 2012

Raleigh, NC — Axon, powered by ProMach, is debuting a Category 3 safety-interlock system for the ThermoPoint® steam heat shrink label machine, also known as a heat tunnel at Pack Expo 2012. (Axon Pack Expo 2012 Booth #3919)

This Category 3 rated safety-interlock system ensures that during operation a “door open” condition immediately stops the flow of live steam in the tunnel. “Customers will find this Category 3 safety-interlock system the perfect addition to the ThermoPoint steam-heat-shrink tunnel in terms of ensuring operator safety on the packaging line,” said George Albrecht, vice president of sales, Axon.

ThermoPoint is Axon’s top solution for a quality shrink process for labels and tamper evident bands even on the most challengingly shaped packaging. The ThermoPoint steam tunnel is easy to use and maintain and also decreases downtime by facilitating fast changeover between products.

ThermoPoint is available in three or six zone configurations and each of the tunnel’s heat zones can be independently adjusted to deliver steam to the label or band at different rates, heights, and angles. This level of precision leads to improved control of the shrink process and ultimately to higher quality, consistency, and throughput.

Heat zone graduated dials and steam injector adjustment indicators not only enable precise control of the process, but also ensure repeatability between batches.
