Pneumatically operated cut and wipe-on system

Automatically cuts and wipes the film onto the load upon cycle end. A vertical roller positions the film over the clamp, which grabs the film, ensuring longer heat wire life expectancy. The heat wire then swings in and cuts the film. A timed impulse heat control allows quick cool down, so the heat wire becomes cold to the touch within 5 seconds.
