Flow Pack packaging machine with Box Motion continuous sealing system, bottom film roll, 80 pcs/min, FW550S-LR SERVO, Smipack

The new FW series of automatic Flow Pack packaging machines has been designed according to Industry 4.0 and IoT (Internet of Things) technological platforms. The series stands out through its transverse sealing bar with a box motion system, both controlled by servo motors.

The translational motion allows the packaging of a wide range of products with extended shelf life (through gas flushing or aroma/preservative misting), featuring different dimensions and heights, without stopping the machine. Packages can be made from single-layer or laminated flexible materials.

The sealing and film folding systems, together with the dynamic and adjustable forming box (conformer), enable quick and versatile setup adjustments across FW models.

These packaging machines can achieve a maximum output of up to 80 products per minute.
