What is a flow wrapper?

A flow wrapper is a horizontal form-fill-seal machine that creates a continuous bag around a product from a single roll of film, sealing it longitudinally and at both ends.

What does 'dual jaw operation' mean?

Dual jaw operation typically refers to a system with two sets of sealing jaws, which can increase sealing speed and improve seal integrity, particularly for higher throughput applications.

PEC stands for Print Eye Control, or Photo Electric Cell. It is a sensor system that detects a registration mark on printed film to ensure the film graphic is correctly centred on each package.

Can this machine run unprinted film?

Yes, a flow wrapper capable of running printed film with PEC can also typically run unprinted film without the need for registration.

What maintenance is typically required for a used flow wrapper?

Regular maintenance typically includes checking and replacing wear parts like belts, heaters, and knives, as well as lubrication and calibration of sensors and motors. Electrical and pneumatic systems should also be inspected.
