• Packaging of bakery products such as cakes, pastries, and bread rolls.
• Wrapping of confectionery items including chocolate bars and multi-packs of sweets.
• Sealing of fresh produce like vegetables and fruit punnets.
• Packaging of non-food items such as small hardware components or stationery.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 150 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a corresponding power rating that varies by configuration.

Film materials

This equipment is typically compatible with a range of heat-sealable films, including plain and printed polypropylene, laminates, and barrier films.

Product dimensions

The maximum product dimensions accommodated are typically dependent on the specific jaw width and former size installed on the machine.

Footprint

A Redpack P225E, particularly with a phase feeder, typically requires a significant operational footprint, often around 3 to 5 metres in length.

Control system

Units commonly feature a PLC-based control system with a user-friendly HMI for setting parameters and monitoring operation.

• What does 'L.H' in the model name signify?

  'L.H' typically indicates a 'Left Hand' configuration, meaning the product flow is from left to right when viewed from the operator's position.

• What is a 'phase feeder' and why is it included?

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.
