The CFS Aquarius OverlapSeal double-twist wrapper significantly extends the lollipop’s shelf life. In the execution with OverlapSeal the maximum output is 600 lollipops per minute.

7/1/2011 --- CFS Aquarius (Weert, the Netherlands) is presenting the new tear-slit for easier opening of its hermetically sealed OverlapSeal double-twist wrappers on stand E59 in Hall 4. This unique wrapping format runs on the CFS Aquarius TwistWrapper, which has a double twist wrapping capacity of up to 1,000 ball lollipops per minute. The CFS Aquarius OverlapSeal double-twist wrapper significantly extends the lollipop’s shelf life. In the execution with OverlapSeal the maximum output is 600 lollipops per minute.

Hermitically sealed wrapper keeps moisture out
Unlike regular double-twist wrappers for lollipops, which allow moisture to reach the sugar, the patented OverlapSeal double-twist wrapper from CFS Aquarius is hermetically sealed. Kees Le Loux, Segment Sales Manager for Lollipops, said, “In countries and regions where the atmospheric humidity is high, the lollipop’s shelf life is significantly extended.“ The new tear slit feature makes the OverlapSeal double-twist even easier to open than a regular double-twist.”

Available as option
It is available as an option on new machines. The TwistWrapper is a continuous wrapping machine that handles lollipop diameters from 18 to 35 mm and accommodates film reels up to 440 mm diameter. It achieves its high speed through smooth film handling, precise cutting and automatic feeding. In the execution with OverlapSeal the maximum lollipop diameter is 30 mm.

More efficient use of film
Compared to a regular bunch wrapper, the double-twist wrapper uses up to 30% less film. Wrapping options include heat-sealable polypropylene, laminate and cellophane films and wax paper, all in single or double layers. The heating system with contactless transfer of energy seals around the stick with consistent sealing quality. In addition to the TwistWrapper, CFS Aquarius offers a wide range of forming, cooling and wrapping solutions for lollipops that can be combined to make up very high performance, high yield lines.
