F series
Set new standards with our F series horizontal flow wrapping machines. The high-performance platforms always package your product with consideration for the circumstances. Their sophisticated sensor technology, innovative control architecture, and self-regulating sealing technology enable fully automatic parameter adjustments. During ongoing operation. From product infeed to product discharge. The horizontal form fill and seal machines thus compensate for fluctuating environmental influences just as effortlessly as they do for changes in speed during the packaging process. For fewer rejects and more efficiency.

What is a horizontal flow wrapping machine?
A horizontal flow wrapping machine is a fully automatic packaging machine that packs products in flexible packaging made from a single material or laminate. To do this, the machines create a tube from running material into which the product is inserted and then sealed. Horizontal flow wrapping features excellent product protection and high efficiency while keeping packaging material expenses low.
-
What products are compatible with a horizontal flow wrapping machine?
Horizontal flow wrapping machines, also known as Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal (HFFS) machines, are especially versatile packaging machines. They are appropriate for a wide range of products, including chocolate, chewing gum, cereal bars, confectionery, and other food items. Horizontal flow wrapping machines are used to transform flat films into flow packs, which are then filled with one or more products and sealed.

What is a gusset folder on a flow wrapping machine?
A gusset folder is a component of a flow wrapping machine. Its task is to correctly and precisely fold the “gusset,” the term used to refer to the edges or folds of a package. The exact formation of gussets is particularly important in the food industry, where products such as chocolate or chewing gum must be packaged precisely, cleanly, and securely. The function and design may differ based on the specific machine and its intended use.

What is the meaning of splice and autosplice in the context of packaging machines?
Splice and autosplice are terms used in the context of attaching packaging material rolls to a packaging machine. Splicing is the process of manually joining two rolls of packaging material. As soon as the material on a roll runs out, the beginning of the new roll is attached to the end of the old one. This can be accomplished using either glue or staples, with such methods requiring an interruption in the production process.
Autosplice is a feature of modern packaging machines that automates the splicing process. The machine detects when a roll is empty and automatically replaces it with a new roll without interruption. This enhances the efficiency of the packaging process, minimizes downtime, and reduces waste while also improving production speed and output.

Is it possible to use a flow wrapping machine to package sticky products?
Cereal bars and other sticky bars are typically packed using horizontal flow wrapping machines. The items are fed in at low pressure, which is especially gentle on the product.
