PFM Sciroco

• High-speed Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) for perishable food items.
• Packaging of cheeses, breads, fresh pasta, and processed meats.
• Extending shelf life for products requiring a controlled gas environment.
• Suitable for operations requiring efficient, high-volume packaging.

Typical throughput

For this class of high-speed inverted flow wrapper, speeds commonly range from 140 to 400 packs per minute, depending on product size and film characteristics.

Packaging type

Designed for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) using heat-sealable film.

Crimper configuration

Units of this type often feature multiple crimpers per shaft to achieve higher speeds; configurations can sometimes be adjusted.

Product suitability

Commonly used for delicate or irregularly shaped products that benefit from inverted wrapping and MAP.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage.

Control system

Modern units of this type commonly feature PLC control with a HMI for operational adjustments and recipe management.

• What is an inverted flow wrapper?

  An inverted flow wrapper feeds the product onto the film from below, which is beneficial for delicate, unstable, or irregularly shaped items as it provides better support during the wrapping process.

• Why is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) important?

• Can the speed of this machine be adjusted?

• What kind of film does a PFM Scirocco typically use?

• What maintenance is typically required for a high-speed flow wrapper?

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) equipment is generally regarded as reliable for extending shelf life across food sectors. Buyers typically value machines offering consistent gas flushing and seal quality. When purchasing used units, inspection of gas mixing accuracy, seal integrity and control systems is advisable. Common strengths include reduced product waste, improved distribution flexibility, and lower operational costs compared to alternative preservation methods. Maintenance history and spare parts availability are important considerations for used equipment longevity.
