RECORD PANDA E FLOW WRAPPER

• Wrapping individual food items such as confectionery, baked goods, and snack bars.
• Packaging non-food items like small components, medical devices, and consumer goods.
• Creating hermetically sealed packages for extended product shelf life.
• High-speed primary packaging in automated production lines.

Typical throughput

Flow wrappers in this class commonly achieve speeds of up to 150 units per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Maximum film width

Units of this type typically accommodate film widths up to 720mm.

Product dimensions (L x W x H)

For this class of equipment, typical product parameters are 100-300mm long, 20-300mm wide, and 10-120mm high.

Machine orientation

Many flow wrappers are configured for left-to-right product flow, which is a common setup in production lines.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for motor and heating elements.

Footprint

A compact to medium footprint for a high-speed packaging machine, often requiring several metres in length for the main unit and infeed/outfeed conveyors.

Film material compatibility

Units are typically compatible with various heat-sealable films, including OPP, BOPP, and laminated films.

• What is a flow wrapper used for?

  A flow wrapper creates a continuous, flexible package around a product by sealing film around it in a 'flow' motion. It is primarily used for individual product packaging at high speeds.

• What kind of products can this machine typically handle?

• What is meant by 'left to right' machine running?

• Is a stacking conveyor infeed common with these machines?

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

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.
