Horizontal Packaging Machine FAQ

What is horizontal flow wrapping?

Horizontal flow wrapping feeds products along a horizontal conveyor while packaging film is formed around each product. The film is then longitudinally sealed, end sealed and cut into individual packages.

What is the difference between horizontal and vertical packaging?

Horizontal machines normally package solid products placed on a conveyor, while vertical form-fill-seal machines commonly use gravity to fill powders, granules or small pieces into bags formed in a vertical direction.

Can one machine wrap different product sizes?

A machine can usually support a specified range of product lengths, widths and heights. Change parts, adjustable guides or different film-forming components may be required when the product dimensions vary significantly.

What packaging film can be used?

Film compatibility depends on the machine's sealing system and package requirements. Common options include heat-sealable films, laminated films, BOPP and other suitable flexible packaging materials.

Can date coding or labeling equipment be integrated?

Compatible date coders, printers and labeling systems can be integrated depending on the packaging material, print position, required information and line speed.

Can the wrapper connect to an automatic production line?

Horizontal wrappers can be configured with automatic feeding, counting, sorting and discharge systems. The final layout depends on product orientation, incoming speed and the required production output.
