Technical Insights: Horizontal Flow Shrinking Machine

Flow Wrap Technology

This machine combines a horizontal flow wrapper (HFFS) with a shrink tunnel. The film is formed into a tube under the product (bottom seal) or above it. It is incredibly fast and gas-tight. Ideal for fresh food, pizza, or products requiring modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) before shrinking.

Hermetic Seal

Unlike L-sealers which leave pinholes for air escape, flow wrappers can create hermetic seals, extending shelf life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

Why use flow wrap for shrink?

Speed and seal integrity. It can easily exceed 100 packs per minute.
Q

Can it handle random lengths?

Yes, machines with 'box motion' or variable cut length can adapt to the product length on the fly.
