How a Horizontal Flow Pack Machine Works

A flow pack machine, also called a flow wrapper, moves products in line along a conveyor, wraps them in a tube of film, seals the back and both ends, and cuts each pack free. Because the product travels straight into the wrapper, handling stays minimal and the pack arrives airtight, hygienic and easy to stack.

1

Feeding

Products arrive by manual feeding, a 90-degree semi-automatic system, magazine feeding or a fully inline conveyor.

2

Wrapping

Film is drawn from the reel and formed into a tube around the product.

3

Sealing

A back seal and two end seals close the pack, using cold seal or hot seal film.

4

Cutting

The cutting and sealing group separates each pack and discharges it to the next stage.

Horizontal Flow Pack Machines for Every Production Scale

Pick the machine by product size, film width and speed. E-motion models suit entry-level and short-run production, Silver machines serve industrial lines, and Titan runs high-speed confectionery.

Family 03 · Silver

Silver Flow Pack Machines

Silver machines are engineered for industrial horizontal packaging with customizable packaging ratios and a 10-inch touchscreen HMI. An inline feeding conveyor packs products without direct handling, which improves hygiene and efficiency.

  • Silver: up to 400 packs per minute, film up to 400 mm
  • Silver On Edge: 80–120 packs per minute with 90-degree feeding
  • Silver Pile Pack: twin-line stacks of biscuits up to 75 mm in diameter and 30 mm high
  • Compatible with automatic feeding systems such as ADS

Flagship · High speed

Titan High-Speed Flow Pack Machine

Titan is a modular, high-speed horizontal packaging machine that reaches up to 700 packs per minute with cold seal film. Full servo control and a high-efficiency feeding unit keep it at full output on high-capacity production lines.

  • Up to 700 packs per minute cold seal, 200 hot seal
  • Film width up to 300 mm, reel up to 400 mm
  • Inline feeding system with cutting and sealing group
  • Robust construction for long-term, demanding production

Feeding · ADS

Automatic Distribution System (ADS)

ADS is a modular system that directs products from the production line into the packaging machine. Servo and asynchronous motors are matched to the product’s stickiness, softness and line width, so connected flow wrappers stay fed at high speed without interruption.

  • Working width of 300–2,000 mm
  • Modular structure for different line layouts
  • Servo and asynchronous drive options
  • Keeps connected packers running without interruption

Making wafers? Pair ADS with our automatic wafer production line.

What You Can Pack on a Flow Pack Machine

Flow wrapping suits solid, shaped products that need an airtight, stackable pack. Confectionery and bakery are the core uses; non-uniform shapes, plastic cutlery and light non-food products also run on E-motion machines.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flow Pack Machines

Have a question about your packaging line? Ask our packaging engineers.

A flow pack machine, also called a horizontal flow wrapper, wraps products in a continuous tube of film, seals the back and both ends, and cuts each pack free. Products are fed in a line, so they are packed without direct handling, and the sealed pack protects them from air and moisture.

Cold seal film bonds under pressure through a special coating, without heat, which suits heat-sensitive products such as chocolate and allows the highest speeds. Hot seal film is welded by heated jaws. Our machines list both capacities; the Titan, for example, reaches 700 packs per minute cold seal and 200 hot seal.

E-motion models suit entry-level and short-run lines: MFX and RSI for smaller products, PMJ and Plus for wide products, and magazine feeding for biscuits. Silver machines serve industrial lines, Silver Pile Pack handles biscuit stacks, and Titan covers high-speed production. We confirm the model after a product and film review.

Capacity depends on the model, product and film. Cold seal capacities range from 20–60 packs per minute on the PMJ up to 700 on the Titan, and hot seal capacities reach up to 200 packs per minute on the Silver and Titan.

Yes. Machines can run with manual feeding, a 90-degree semi-automatic feeding system, magazine feeding or a fully inline feeding conveyor. The Automatic Distribution System (ADS) distributes products from the production line into the packer for continuous high-speed operation.
