Overview
About the E-Motion RSI
The E-Motion RSI is built for companies with limited production lines that pack non-uniform shapes and soft, sticky products, and it is an entry- level way into reverse flow wrapping. On a standard flow wrapper, lugs push the product along a chain and the film arrives from above. That works for firm bars, but a marshmallow, a cube of Turkish delight or a soft date can be squeezed, marked or tipped over by the pushers. The E-Motion RSI turns the film path around. The reel sits under the infeed, the film runs up into the forming box and the product is laid onto it by a flat belt, so it rests on the film from the first moment and is never pushed. Products are loaded by hand or arrive from the optional semi-automatic 90-degree feeding system. The drive is configured with a single servo or full servo motors to the customer’s requirements, and cut length and print mark are set on the touchscreen HMI.
Why Reverse Flow Wrapping Suits Soft and Unstable Products
Soft confectionery such as Turkish delight, cezerye and marshmallows dusts powder, sticks to metal and deforms under pressure. Dates, fruit leather and individual fruit roll or slide. On the E-Motion RSI these products travel on a smooth belt and drop onto a moving web of film, with no lugs and no side push. Powder and crumbs fall away from the fin seal, which lies on top, so the seal stays clean and tight. The flat bottom of the pack keeps the product upright, and the same belt accepts products placed by hand or turned in from the production line by the semi-automatic 90-degree feeding system.
E-Motion RSI working principle: manual or 90° feeding and belt infeed (1, 2), film from below and fin seal on top (3 to 5), rotary cross seal (6, 7), outfeed (8).
Infeed side: the film reel sits below the belt, the sealing head is compact and fully guarded.
Key Features of the E-Motion RSI
Gentle infeed. A flat food-grade belt with adjustable side guides replaces lug pushers, so soft and coated products keep their shape and finish; manual feeding or a semi- automatic 90-degree feeding system.
Continuous rotary jaws. Two, three or four aligned jaws with a 1.75 mm tooth profile for even, airtight end seals; hot and cold seal at up to 120 pcs/min.
Servo control. Single or full servo configuration, Omron PLC, digital cut length and print-mark position stored as recipes on the 7 in touchscreen HMI.
Hot or cold seal. Heated discs and jaws for OPP and CPP, or cold-seal film for chocolate- coated products.
Hygienic, open design. AISI 304 product- contact parts and panels, clear and perforated guards that lift off for cleaning.
Applications
E-Motion RSI Model Horizontal Flow Wrapper: Application Areas
Soft confectionery, bars, dried fruit, flatbread and fresh fruit: single pieces and small multipacks.
The packs below were produced on the E-Motion RSI. Each one is a clear or printed pillow pack with crimped end seals, cut close to the product to save film. Protrus selects the forming box, number of jaws, seal type and film for every product and confirms them on a trial with the customer’s own product and film. Chocolate-coated and sticky products are packed in a room held at 18 to 20 °C (64 to 68 °F) so they do not take up moisture or clump.

Infeed, Discharge and Line Integration
With manual feeding, operators place products on the long stainless belt conveyor, which suits short runs and frequent product changes. For more volume, the semi-automatic 90-degree feeding system takes products from the production line and turns them by a right angle onto the belt. Side guides and belt speed are matched to the pack pitch, and a lug chain with product-shaped pushers can be fitted instead for firm bars. Finished packs leave on a short outfeed belt to a date coder, metal detector, checkweigher or case packer, and the E-Motion RSI exchanges start, stop and fault signals with the machines before and after it.

* Catalog maximum 120 pcs/min with cold seal and 120 pcs/min with hot seal. Reference film 20 µm OPP + 20 µm pearlized OPP. Output depends on pack length, product and film and is confirmed after a trial with the customer’s product. Lavash is packed folded or in small sizes so that width + height stays within approx. 160 mm for the 350 to 370 mm film.
