• Packaging of individual or small groups of products in a protective atmosphere.
• Extending shelf life for perishable goods such as meats, cheeses, and prepared foods.
• Creating tamper-evident and hygienic packaging for retail or industrial distribution.
• Securing products for transport, reducing damage and contamination.
• Packaging non-food items requiring a sealed, protective wrap.

Typical throughput

For this class of inverted flow wrapper, speeds commonly range from 30 to 80 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, with varying amperage requirements depending on integrated components like shrink tunnels.

Film compatibility

Inverted flow wrappers are generally compatible with a range of heat-sealable films, including plain and printed shrink films, often requiring specific sealing jaw configurations.

Product dimensions

Machines in this category can typically accommodate product lengths from 100mm to 600mm, with width and height determined by the machine's forming box and jaw opening.

Construction material

For food processing applications, all stainless steel construction is common for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

A combined inverted flow wrapper and shrink tunnel system typically requires a significant operational footprint, often exceeding 5-8 metres in length.

• What is an 'inverted' flow wrapper?

  An inverted flow wrapper feeds film from below the product, which is beneficial for delicate, irregular, or unstable products as they are placed directly onto the film without needing to be pushed through a forming box.

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

• Is print registration necessary for all applications?

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

• What does 'as is' condition mean for a used machine?

Vacuum packaging equipment holds a solid reputation in food processing for extending shelf life and maintaining product quality. Buyers typically prioritize seal consistency, chamber durability, and ease of operation when selecting used models. Industry sentiment favours machines with reliable vacuum pump performance and straightforward maintenance access. Common strengths include cost savings over new equipment, proven track records from established manufacturers, and compatibility with various packaging materials. Prospective buyers should inspect sealing bars, vacuum gauges, and prior service history carefully.
