Typical throughput

For this class of flow wrapper, speeds commonly range from 50 to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Film width

This model can accommodate film up to 820mm wide, suitable for a range of product dimensions.

Infeed length

The current unit features a 6-metre infeed, which can typically be shortened to 3 metres to suit operational space.

Product dimensions

The fixed folding box of 250 x 80mm suggests suitability for products within these general dimensions. The cut-out top jaw allows for higher products.

Footprint

With a 6-metre infeed, a significant operational footprint is required. Buyers should consider the overall length including outfeed and access space.

Control system

PLC control with a front message display is standard for modern used units, offering flexibility and diagnostic capabilities.

• What kind of film can this machine use?

  Flow wrappers typically use heat-sealable films such as BOPP, laminates, and some co-extruded films. Buyers should confirm film compatibility with the seller.

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

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

• Is spare parts availability an issue for a Record Jaguar?

• What does 'electronic print registration' mean?

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.
