What is a flow wrapper?

A flow wrapper is a horizontal form-fill-seal machine that creates a continuous, flexible package around a product, sealing it on three sides (top, bottom, and end seals).

What does 'flighted infeed' mean?

A flighted infeed uses a series of evenly spaced 'flights' or pushers on a conveyor to separate and accurately present individual products to the wrapping section of the machine.

Can this machine be used for food products, despite its previous non-food use?

Given its previous use in a non-food cleanroom environment, it may be suitable for food applications after a thorough professional cleaning, inspection, and potentially a food-grade certification process. Buyers should verify specific requirements with regulatory bodies.

What maintenance is typically required for a refurbished flow wrapper?

Regular maintenance typically includes checking and replacing wear parts like belts, heaters, and knives, lubricating moving components, and ensuring all sensors and controls are functioning correctly. Annual professional servicing is often recommended.

What are the benefits of a refurbished unit?

A refurbished unit offers a cost-effective alternative to new machinery, often providing reliable performance and extended operational life. The refurbishment process typically addresses common wear points and updates components.

Informação típica para esta categoria de máquinas. Confirme sempre os pormenores com o vendedor.

Packaging individual food items such as confectionery, bakery products, and snack bars.
Wrapping non-food items like medical devices, small hardware, and cosmetic products.
Creating hermetically sealed packages for hygiene-sensitive products.
High-speed packaging of products requiring a consistent and protective film wrap.

Typical capacity: Flow wrappers of this class typically operate at speeds ranging from 50 to 200 packs per minute, depending on product size and film type.
Power supply: Units commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage based on motor size and heating elements.
Film materials: This type of equipment is typically compatible with a range of heat-sealable films, including OPP, BOPP, laminates, and some barrier films.
Product dimensions: For this class of machine, typical product dimensions can vary significantly, often accommodating lengths from 50mm to 300mm, widths from 20mm to 150mm, and heights up to 80mm.
Footprint: A flow wrapper with an extended infeed, such as this unit, commonly requires a floor space of approximately 3 to 5 metres in length and 1 to 1.5 metres in width.
Control system: Units of this era often feature PLC-based control systems with operator interfaces for setting parameters and diagnostics.

A flow wrapper is a horizontal form-fill-seal machine that creates a continuous, flexible package around a product, sealing it on three sides (top, bottom, and end seals).

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.
