flowpack X

The modular solution for air-tight film packaging and paper packaging

The flowpack machine flowpack X achieves one hundred percent air-tight film packaging seams, seamless traceability and reproducible results from the very first product packaging. Packaging under modified atmosphere is possible. Our packaging machine flowpack X packs goods in film or paper, by a simple changeover.

The flowpack X is available in two versions: with longitudinal sealing above or below. Both versions can be equipped on a modular and individual basis. Examples here are finger conveyor chains or infeed belts, thermal transfer printer, labelling machine and film roll changer for continuous film unwind, respectively non-stop operation.

Our flowpack machines are also available as hygienically designed version.

Highlights

Air-tight packaging seams thanks to continuous transversal sealing
Optimum processing of the most diverse of film thickness and film types as well as coated, recyclable papers
Thanks to continuous transversal sealing, a long dwell time and high sealing pressure is achieved enabling the optimum processing of the most diverse coated papers
Customised design of fin seal for excellent product packaging stability and appearance
Smart user guidance via CoPilot and touch screen
Maximum serviceability and maintainability thanks to perfect access and numerous maintenance-free components
Easy line integration and connectivity with higher-level systems; Industry 4.0 Ready
Optional monitoring, analysis and visualisation of machine and operating data via the Hugo Beck Cockpit
Siemens TIA Portal or Rockwell Automation control system; free remote service
Available with complete machine automation solutions from SEW-EURODRIVE on request. This completely eliminates the need for pneumatics, significantly reduces the machine's connected load and overall energy consumption, stabilises the power supply and bridges short-term voltage dips, reduces peak loads, ensures controlled stops in the event of longer power failure.

Application Examples

Flowpack Machine for Paper Packaging

Our box-motion flowpack X packaging machine is suitable for heat and cold-sealable cellulose-/paper-based packaging materials. Thanks to continuous transversal sealing, a long dwell time and high sealing pressure is achieved enabling optimum processing of the most diverse coated, recyclable papers, such as barrier paper, kraft/offset/parchment and other papers with PE, PLA or dispersion coatings. The flowpack X packs goods in paper or film, by a simple changeover.
