Automatic Horizontal Flow Wrapper
A horizontal packing machine, also known as a horizontal flow wrapper or horizontal form-fill-seal machine, is used in various industries for packaging products in a continuous, automated manner. The process typically involves the following steps:
1. Product Feeding: The process typically begins with the feeding of products into the packaging machine. Depending on the type of product and its size, this can be done manually or using an automated feeding system such as a conveyor belt or vibratory feeder.
2. Film Unwinding: A roll of packaging film (usually made of plastic, such as polyethylene or polypropylene) is mounted on the machine. The film unwinds and moves toward the forming section.
3. Film Forming and Sealing: The packaging film is formed into a tube or a horizontal cylinder around the product as it moves through the machine. The edges of the film are sealed together, creating a continuous tube with the product inside.
4. Product Insertion: As the film forms a pouch or tube, the products are inserted into the packaging material. The machine can be designed to handle single or multiple products per package, depending on the application.
5. Sealing and Finalization: Once the products are inside the packaging material, the machine seals the remaining open end of the pouch or tube, ensuring the products are securely enclosed.
7. Product Discharge: The sealed packages are then discharged from the machine, typically onto a conveyor belt that carries them to the next stage of the packaging process.
8. Optional Additional Processes: Depending on the specific packaging requirements, additional processes may be integrated into the horizontal packing machine, such as gas flushing (to remove air and extend product shelf life), labeling, and printing batch codes.
Horizontal packing machines are versatile and can be adapted to package a wide range of products in various industries. They are known for their efficiency in high-speed packaging and can handle both solid and semi-solid products. The specific design and features of a horizontal packing machine may vary based on the product, packaging material, and production requirements.
