PFM Pearl

• Flow wrappers are typically used for packaging individual or multiple products in a flexible film, common in the food industry.
• They are suitable for confectionery, bakery items, snack foods, and non-food items like small components or medical devices.
• Units of this type are often integrated into automated production lines for high-volume packaging.
• This equipment class is ideal for products requiring a hermetic seal and protection from external elements.

Typical throughput

For this class of flow wrapper, throughput typically ranges from 50 to 200 bags per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

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

Film compatibility

Typically compatible with various heat-sealable films, including OPP, BOPP, and laminates, often requiring print registration for pre-printed films.

Product dimensions

Adjustable folding boxes commonly allow for a range of product sizes, with specific dimensions depending on the machine's configuration.

Sealing type

Most flow wrappers utilise a fin seal on the bottom and end seals, providing a secure and aesthetically pleasing package.

Integration capabilities

Often designed for seamless integration with upstream feeding systems and downstream equipment such as checkweighers or X-ray inspection machines.

Footprint

The footprint for a flow wrapper of this type can vary, but buyers should anticipate a length of 3-5 metres and a width of 1-1.5 metres.
