Flow Wrap Machines

Thanks to their speed and relatively simple operation, flow wrap machines are found in packaging lines across multiple industries. PMI KYOTO Packaging Systems is a leader in the design, manufacture and integration of these flow wrap machine systems, delivering equipment that fits into our customers’ operations seamlessly and provides the highest levels of performance and reliability.

Flow wrapping involves laying products on a continuous sheet of plastic packaging material and sealing it at each end as it passes through the line. An automated cutter separates each individually wrapped product so they can be packaged and prepared for shipment. A horizontal flow wrapper machine is the most common type of equipment used in the process, although there are also vertical configurations used in some operations.

Your choice of flow wrapping machine is heavily influenced by the type of product being packaged and its dimensions. However, there’s more to successful integration than simply ensuring the compatibility of the machinery with the product. Considerations also have to be made for the packaging film material being used, the optimal speed of production, amount of floor space required and more. All of these must be taken into account before purchasing an automatic flow wrap machine to add to your operations.

Fortunately, PMI KYOTO has a considerable amount of expertise when it comes to designing and integrating these machines so they offer the most benefit for your operations. Our horizontal flow wrap machine offerings are easily integrated with our horizontal cartoners to provide the full benefit of automation in your packaging equipment. The ease of integration is critical for preventing bottlenecks that can hamper your facility’s efficiency. If you want to get the most out of these machines, we can ensure you have the optimal setup. 

Adding our flow wrap packaging solution to your facility means you can take advantage of a wide range of benefits, including:

• Production Speed: These machines are capable of packaging dozens of items every minute, thanks to the relatively simple nature of the process. This makes a flow wrap machine a great addition to a high-speed production line.
• Flexibility: Capable of adapting to a wide array of product dimensions and packaging film materials, flow wrapping equipment gives you more options than other types of packaging machinery.
• Quality Control: Because they seal completely at both ends of the package, flow wrap machines are integral for ensuring packages preserve the freshness and quality of whatever they contain.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Our equipment can fit easily into an automated production and packaging line, reducing labor costs and improving the overall efficiency of your facility.

Because flow wrapping equipment can accommodate a wide range of packaging materials, they can serve an important role in reducing your facility’s ecological footprint. They can be configured with feeds of biodegradable or compostable packaging materials, helping to make your operations more sustainable and eco-friendlier overall.

When adding machinery to your existing line, it’s important to work with a partner who has the right blend of expertise and experience.
