SP - GSP GSP 65

• Packaging individual food items such as bakery products, confectionery, and snacks.
• Wrapping non-food items like small components, medical devices, and consumer goods.
• Creating hermetically sealed packages for extended product shelf life.
• High-speed primary packaging in production lines.
• Protecting products from contamination and damage during transport and storage.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, speeds commonly range from 50 to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and film material.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a single-phase electrical supply, typically 230V, 50Hz, for operation in the UK.

Film materials

Typically compatible with a range of heat-sealable films, including OPP, BOPP, laminates, and some co-extruded films.

Product dimensions

Suitable for products with varying lengths, widths, and heights, commonly up to 300mm wide for the sealing jaws.

Infeed system

Commonly features an infeed conveyor with adjustable pitch, typically around 12 inches, to suit different product lengths.

Machine footprint

A typical flow wrapper of this size might require a floor space of approximately 3 to 5 metres in length and 1 to 1.5 metres in width.

Sealing type

Units commonly utilise rotary end seals and a fin seal along the length of the package.

• What is a flow wrapper?

  A flow wrapper, or horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machine, continuously forms a tube of film around a product, seals it longitudinally, and then creates individual cross-seals to produce a finished package.

• What film types are compatible with flow wrappers?

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.
