A-27A
The Shanklin Automatic L-Sealers: Quality Comes Standard

Model A-26A
The A-26A features adjustable height seal
jaws and can automatically wrap a wide range
of products, including high profile or short
length items, at speeds up to 35 packages
per minute. It is also available in a USDA
approved model.

Model A-27A
The A-27A possesses all of the same features as
the A-26A, but with slightly larger allowances in
its maximum seal size, product size, and film width
specifications. EZ film threading is standard on the
A-27A, which allows operators to move machine
components for full access and visibility when
threading film. The A-27A is also available in a
USDA approved model.

Model A-28A
The large-capacity workhorse model of
the A-Series, the A-28A features adjustable
height seal jaws specially designed for
products too large to fit through the A-26A
or A-27A, and is equipped with a heavy-
duty discharge conveyor to wrap much
heavier product than most automatic
L-Sealers can handle.
