PFM Tornado-BBLDSS Flow wrapper

• Packaging of bakery products such as biscuits, cakes, and pastries.
• Wrapping confectionery items including chocolate bars and sweets.
• Sealing fresh produce like fruits and vegetables in a protective atmosphere.
• Packaging non-food items requiring hermetic sealing, such as medical devices or small industrial components.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 60 to 120 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Construction material

Flow wrappers for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Seal type

This equipment is designed to produce hermetic seals, often suitable for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).

Film compatibility

Commonly handles various heat-sealable films from a flat reel, including laminates and barrier films.

Infeed system

Units typically feature an infeed conveyor, with lengths varying to suit production line integration.

• What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?

  MAP involves altering the composition of the air inside a package to extend the shelf life of perishable foods. This machine is designed to create hermetic seals necessary for maintaining the modified atmosphere.

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

• Is a coder typically integrated with these machines?

Form-fill-seal machines hold strong reputations in food packaging for reliability and consistent output. Buyers typically prioritise machines with clear maintenance histories and verified production specifications. Key strengths include versatility across film types and product formats, alongside relatively straightforward operation. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine seal quality consistency, film tracking accuracy, and the condition of heating elements. Machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence. Downtime for repairs is a common concern, so availability of spare parts and technical support merits careful consideration before acquisition.
