Advantages

Ski jump

 

The skip enables film to be saved in the film width. We push the product into the top of the film tube, where the film is not yet under too much tension. Other manufacturers: The absence of the skip leads to greater film consumption, as a wider film width must be used. In addition, the film can slip out of the sealing rolls when the tray is pushed into the film tube.


Self-centering envelope wave

The Flowpack machine's self-centering envelope carrier shaft ensures that the film always enters the machine correctly centered.


Two-part feed belts

The two infeed belts convey the product from the separating belt into the carrier chain. The two belts have different speeds so that the trays do not take a knock when the carrier runs against them. This means that the trays can be gradually adjusted to the movement of the carrier chain and are gently pushed into the packaging machine.


Operating errors excluded

By eliminating all mechanical adjustments, we minimize the risk of machine downtime, which is often due to operating errors caused by incorrect settings.


Film pre-rolling

Our film pre-winding system ensures continuous film tension. Compared to conventional brakes, it offers a clear advantage: even if only a small amount of film remains on the roll and unwinding becomes difficult, our pre-unwinding system drives the packaging material shaft efficiently. In addition, with very thin films with additional perforation, it prevents the film from tearing when the machine starts up from a standstill. In contrast, other manufacturers only use a brake that has to be adjusted manually depending on the thickness of the film roll.


Packing material monitor

Even when using transparent film, it is crucial to ensure that the machine reports a fault as soon as the film is used up. For this reason, we continuously monitor the rotation of the deflection roller, as an interruption can indicate that the film is torn or empty.


Height control

Our height control ensures that the tray is filled correctly to avoid overfilling and to ensure that it is positioned correctly between the carriers. This measure prevents collisions in the format area and protects your products from damage.


Setup wizard

Our set-up wizard allows you to easily create a new data record for your new product, even without extensive experience. You will be guided through the entire process step by step.


Monitoring of inputs and outputs

In our flowpack machine display, you can easily check the inputs and outputs without having to open the control cabinet, study circuit diagrams or hire an electrician.
