LMC Flow Wrapper

• Packaging individual food items such as bakery products, confectionery, and snacks.
• Wrapping non-food items like medical devices, cosmetics, and small consumer goods.
• Creating hermetically sealed packages for products requiring protection from moisture and dust.
• High-speed primary packaging in automated production lines.
• Bundling multiple small items into a single package.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 50 to 200 packages 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, with varying amperage requirements based on motor size and heating elements.

Construction material

As indicated, stainless steel construction is standard for food and hygiene-sensitive applications, offering durability and ease of cleaning.

Film compatibility

Flow wrappers are typically compatible with a range of heat-sealable films, including OPP, BOPP, laminated films, and some barrier films.

Product dimensions

The maximum product dimensions (length, width, height) that can be accommodated vary significantly by model, but units of this type often handle items up to 300-400mm in length.

Footprint

A typical LMC flow wrapper with an infeed conveyor can require a floor space of approximately 3 to 5 metres in length and 1 to 1.5 metres in width.

• What is a flow wrapper?

  A flow wrapper is a horizontal form-fill-seal machine that creates a continuous, flexible package around a product using a single roll of film. It forms a 'flow wrap' with a bottom seal, a top seal, and two end seals.

• What kind of products can this machine package?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used flow wrapper?

• Are spare parts readily available for Italian-made flow wrappers?

• Can these units be integrated into an existing production line?

Used sealing machines are generally valued for their durability and long operational life. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and minimal wear on sealing components. Key considerations include film compatibility, seal quality consistency, and ease of adjustment. Reputable models tend to retain functionality well across multiple applications. Industry sentiment suggests these machines offer strong value when sourced from reliable vendors, though operators should verify calibration settings and test seal integrity before full production use.
