Redpack - Belca Flow Wrapper

• Packaging individual food items such as confectionery, bakery products, 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 automated production lines.

Typical capacity

Flow wrappers of this class typically operate at speeds ranging from 50 to 200 packages per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Units commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on motor size and heating elements.

Film materials

Suitable for a range of heat-sealable films including BOPP, laminates, and some co-extruded films, commonly up to 80 microns thick.

Product dimensions

The maximum product dimensions (length, width, height) are specific to the machine's forming box and sealing jaw configuration; buyers should confirm with the seller.

Footprint

A Belca flow wrapper with an integrated conveyor typically requires a floor space of approximately 3 to 5 metres in length and 1 to 1.5 metres in width.

Sealing type

Most flow wrappers utilise a fin seal for the longitudinal seam and rotary or box motion end seals.

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

  Regular maintenance for a used flow wrapper usually involves checking and replacing wear parts such as belts, sealing jaws, and cutting knives. Lubrication of moving parts and calibration of temperature controls are also common tasks.

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.
