Overview
About the Titan
The Titan is the high-speed model in the Protrus Horizontal Flow Pack Packaging range, built for plants where one production line has to be packed at full rate around the clock. It wraps chocolate, wafers, bars, sweets, cakes, single biscuits, halva, croissants and buns in a three-seal pillow pack. The machine reaches its best output with full servo control: 17 Omron servo motors drive the feeding, chain, discs and cross-seal jaws under one motion controller, so cut length, pitch and seal timing are set on the 14 in touch screen instead of with change gears. Its robust, durable build makes it a cost-effective answer for high-volume packing.
What Is a Horizontal Flow Wrapper?
A horizontal flow wrapper, also called a flow pack machine or HFFS (horizontal form-fill-seal) machine, builds a continuous tube of film around products that travel in a straight line. The film is drawn from a reel, folded around each product in a forming box, sealed along its length by fin wheels and then sealed and cut between two products by a pair of rotating jaws. The product never stops moving, so a flow wrapper reaches far higher speeds than intermittent bagging or tray machines. That is why it is the standard way to pack confectionery, bakery and snack products around the world.
Titan working principle: product handling (1 to 3), film forming and sealing (4 to 7) and discharge (8).
Titan with in-line servo feeding, double film reels and AISI 304 stainless steel cladding.
Why Choose the Titan Model
High output. Up to 900 pieces per minute with cold-seal film and up to 200 with hot-seal film keep pace with modern moulding, enrobing, wafer and bar-forming lines.
Full servo control. Up to 20 pcs Omron servo motors, an Omron PLC and motion controller and a 14 in Omron HMI. Print-mark tracking corrects every cut at full speed.
Nonstop film supply. A double reel holder with automatic splicer joins the next reel on the fly, and an automatic web guide keeps OPP, CPP or BOPP film centered.
Clean, neat seals. Four separately driven bottom disc sets (puller, double heater and folding) form the fin seam; servo cross-seal jaws close both ends and open automatically when the machine stops.
Durable, robust build. A heavy frame, AISI 304 product-contact surfaces, Nord and Tramec gearboxes, SKF, FAG and ORS bearings and a DKP steel control cabinet for long service in demanding plants.
Ready for the full line. Built-in space for a date printer and synchronized interfaces for feeding systems, metal detectors, X-ray, checkweighers and case packers.
Applications
Titan Model Horizontal Flow Wrapper: Application Areas
Built for single, solid products that leave a production line in a steady stream and need a tight, sealed, shelf-ready wrapper.
The Titan packs products from a few grams up to several hundred grams, as long as they keep a stable shape and can be carried by a lug chain. Typical users are chocolate and confectionery plants, wafer and biscuit bakeries, cereal and protein bar producers, cake and pastry bakeries that pack croissants and buns one by one, and makers of traditional sweets such as halva. For each product, Protrus matches the film, the seal type and the infeed module to its shape, surface and fragility. Cold seal protects chocolate and gives the highest speed; hot seal suits bakery products and clear films. For best results the packing room is held at 18 to 20 °C (64 to 68 °F), so chocolate and sugar products do not take up moisture or stick together.

Product Guide: Pack, Film, Seal and Infeed
| Product | Typical pack | Film and seal | Recommended infeed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bar and tablet chocolate | Single or one after another pack | Cold-seal OPP or metallized OPP; no heat at the jaws protects the chocolate | Chocolate conveyor module from the demoulding line |
| Sweets and coated nougat | Single or one after another pack | OPP or pearlized OPP, cold seal | ADS distribution and in-line vacuum feeding from the cooling tunnel |
| Wafers | Single or one after another pack | Metallized OPP, cold or hot seal; tight end seals keep the wafer crisp | ADS distribution from a multi-lane wafer cutter |
| Protein and cereal bars | Single or one after another pack | Cold-seal or hot-seal OPP, metallized OPP or mono-PP | Servo belts after the slitter and guillotine |
| Cakes and cake bars | Single or one after another pack | Hot-seal metallized OPP | Soft-contact belts from the cooling conveyor |
| Single biscuits | Single or one after another pack | Cold-seal or hot-seal OPP | Lug chain infeed with adjustable side guides |
| Halva | Single pack | Hot-seal OPP or CPP, optional greaseproof inner wrap | Soft-contact four-stage servo feeding |
| Croissants and buns | Single pack | Clear CPP or BOPP, hot seal; optional MAP | Soft-contact belts from the cooling or freezing conveyor |
Infeed Modules Matched to the Product
How products reach the wrapper decides how well the line runs. The ADS automatic distribution system takes products from the cooling tunnel outlet, aligns the rows, splits them and holds a buffer in its stock station, then hands them over in single file at the rate the wrapper needs. Its food-grade belts sit on removable AISI 304 plates with scrapers and drip trays. The soft-contact feeder uses four servo belts, each a little faster than the one before, so a closed row of fragile products such as halva, wafers or buns opens into even gaps without collisions. An optional turning unit rotates products by 90° when the pack orientation requires it.

Main Assemblies and Options
Cross seal and discharge. A perforated stainless guard covers the rotary jaws, vents heat and keeps the seal in view; empty or faulty packs leave through a reject on the outfeed belt.
Double film reels. The next reel is loaded while the machine runs and the auto splicer joins it on the fly; the web guide keeps the film centered.
