Flow wrapping machines are versatile packaging systems designed for wrapping products in a continuous flow of film. They come in different types and offer various options to suit specific industries and product requirements, ensuring an efficient and reliable packaging process.
Types and options for flow wrapping machines:
– Horizontal Flow Wrappers (HFFS):
– Ideal for solid, semi-solid, and irregularly shaped products.
– Can handle high-speed operations.
– Suitable for food items like candies, biscuits, and pharmaceuticals.
– Vertical Flow Wrappers (VFFS):
– Designed for bulkier or granular items.
– Often used in the packaging of snacks, coffee, and other granulated products.
– Efficient in minimizing film waste.
– Rotary Jaw Flow Wrapper:
– Features rotating jaws for sealing.
– High speed with shorter dwell times.
– Commonly used for bakery items, confectionery, and personal care products.
