Are you a business owner in need of a fast and efficient way to package your products? Look no further than the horizontal flow wrapper!
This machine is an indispensable tool for a variety of industries, from food to personal care to household products. So, we will take a closer look at the basics of a typical horizontal flow wrapper.
With no further ado, let’s dive right in.
A horizontal flow wrapper is also known as a form, fill, and seal machine. Essentially, it is a type of packaging machine that takes a product (like a candy bar, for example) and wraps it in a sealed, flexible film. Put simply, the machine:
●Takes in and spaces the items
●Wraps the item with film.
●Seals and discharges the packaged product.
It completes all these processes in one smooth motion and seamless.
And don't let the name fool you -- it's not just for flat items. The forming box can adjust to accommodate a variety of product shapes, such as:
● Frozen goods
● Personal care products
● Animal foods
● Bakery products
● Paper products
● Pharmaceuticals
● Snacks
Regardless of what you’re sealing, you can be sure of a consistent, protective, and professional output. It guarantees this without taking a toll on the speed.
First, the machine has an in-feed conveyor. This component spaces the item and takes it to a forming box. At the forming box the machine applies the packaging film and seals it around the product.
Next, it cuts the sealed product and makes it now ready for boxing and shipping. It's a quick and efficient process that ensures consistent and professional packaging.
One of the great things about horizontal flow wrappers is their versatility. Whether you're packaging frozen goods, snacks, or even personal care products, a flow wrapper can do the job. Plus, they're customizable to fit your specific needs. And let's not forget how well it can help you create a shelf-stable wrapped package. This ensures maximum protection for your products, shielding them from contamination and elevating their shelf life.
