American Film & Machinery (AFM)
American Film & Machinery (AFM) headquartered in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota – is a single source supplier of all of your Shrink Sleeve Labeling needs.
We successfully introduced the first generation of rotary shrink sleeve labelers over 57 years ago. Since then through our commitment to a high level of expenditure on research and development; constant innovation; implementation of the latest technology; and the wealth of knowledge and experience of our highly qualified and motivated workforce we have evolved far beyond our original role as a manufacturer of specialty machinery. Today AFM is a dynamic partner for our customers creating a harmonious marriage of shrink sleeve labelers, heat shrink tunnels, full body labels, tamper evident seals and contract labeling and packaging services.
Shrink Sleeve Labelers
We design, engineer and manufacture heavy duty, servo driven, microprocessor controlled, mandrel type labeling machines for Shrink Labeling, Tamper Evident Packaging and Neck Banding applications. From our entry level LX-100 to our LX-450 – which are currently and successfully running 600 cpm 24/7 – AFM machines provide ease of installation and start-up and consistent, accurate and reliable operation all at an affordable price.
Steam, Electric and Infrared Shrink Tunnels
With multiple zones and multiple adjustable manifolds the WSN-300 Steam Heat Tunnel directs heat precisely where needed and is the preferred shrink tunnel for the most difficult shrink labeling operations. Two independent VFD air flow controls of the ES-200 Electric Heat Shrink Tunnel allow the airflow in each of the two zones to be regulated separately, while the OAL Classic uses a radiant heat source and a highly efficient dual recirculating blower design to provide high quality shrink finish. Steam or electric – AFM offers extremely versatile shrink tunnels that provide optimal shrink control and deliver high quality finish appearance of PVC, PETG, OPS and PLA labels and neck bands regardless of the containers shape, size or material.
