Minimize Downtime

N/A The MH-VM's innovative modular design consists of separate feed and seal modules weighing less than 30 lbs. each. These lightweight, compact modules are easy to access and can be changed out quickly for routine maintenance. When switching to a spare module, downtime can be limited to a matter of minutes. And unlike competitive equipment, both strap sealing mechanisms are integrated into the sealing module, requiring no auxiliary power supply.
