LCM and CM series » combined machines, for the packaging of containers in the following package types: corrugated cardboard box; film only; corrugated cardboard pad + film; corrugated cardboard tray + film; corrugated cardboard tray without film. CM machines, in fact, gather in one single frame the functions of a wrap-around casepacker and of a shrinkwrapper. LCM / CM models are equipped with the same accessories as LWP / WP models and can achieve the same outputs.

All Smiflexi division’s packers are equipped with the MotorNet System®, an automation and control system at the leading edge, produced by Smitec division.Thanks to this system, the operator can easily run all phases of the manufacturing process and rapidly shift from a pack size to another according to the production requirements.

The format change is simple and fast, since it only requires the parameter adjustment through the POSYC human-machine interface PC, and in a few cases the replacement of some mechanical parts.
