Ilapak Carrera 2000PC

• Packaging of bakery products such as biscuits, cakes, and pastries.
• Wrapping of confectionery items including chocolate bars and sweets.
• Packaging of non-food items like small hardware or consumer goods.
• Flow-wrapping of individual or multi-pack fresh produce items.
• Sealing of medical devices and pharmaceutical products in sterile environments.

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 typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on configuration.

Film compatibility

Generally suitable for a range of heat-sealable films, including OPP, laminated films, and some barrier films.

Product dimensions

The Carrera 2000PC series is designed for products with a maximum width dictated by the jaw width, and variable lengths and heights.

Footprint

A machine with a 4-metre infeed will require a significant operational footprint, typically over 5 metres in length including outfeed.

Construction materials

Commonly features a painted steel frame with stainless steel contact parts, suitable for general industrial and some food applications.

• What does 'No Product No Bag' mean?

  This feature prevents the machine from dispensing and sealing a bag if no product is detected on the infeed, reducing film waste and operational costs.

• What is print registration?

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

• What kind of maintenance is required for a used flow wrapper?

• Is installation and commissioning support typically available for used equipment?

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.
