A flow wrapping machine, also known as a horizontal flow wrapper or flow wrap machine, is a versatile packaging system used across various industries. These efficient primary packaging solutions create sealed packages around products using flexible materials like plastic films or paper.
• Infeed System: Handles various product sizes and shapes
• Film Unwind and Tension Control: Guides packaging material
• Forming Shoulder: Shapes film around the product
• Sealing System: Creates fin seals and crimp seals
• Cutting System: Separates individual packages
• Outfeed Conveyor: Transports wrapped products
Flow wrappers use various packaging materials, including polypropylene film and paper packaging. The heated jaws fuse the material together using heat and pressure. A knife within the jaws cuts the packaging film to produce the packet.
