• Packaging of individual food items such as confectionery, bakery products, and snacks.
• Wrapping of non-food items including small components, stationery, and personal care products.
• Creating hermetically sealed packs for extended shelf life of perishable goods.
• High-speed primary packaging in production lines requiring efficient product enclosure.

Typical capacity

Flowpack machines of this class typically operate at speeds ranging from 50 to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and film material.

Power supply

Units commonly found in the UK market for this type of equipment typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, often 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage based on motor size and heating elements.

Film materials

Suitable for a range of heat-sealable films, including OPP, laminates, and co-extruded films, commonly up to 600mm film width.

Product dimensions

This class of machine typically accommodates products with lengths from 50mm to 300mm, widths from 20mm to 150mm, and heights up to 60mm, though exact ranges vary by specific setup.

Print registration

Units equipped with print registration, such as this one, are capable of accurately positioning pre-printed film for consistent branding and information display.

• What is a flowpack machine?

  A flowpack machine, also known as a horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machine, creates a continuous horizontal bag from a roll of film, seals it around the product, and then cuts it into individual packages.

• What does 'print registration' mean?

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a used flowpack machine?

• Is it possible to integrate this machine into an existing production line?

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.
