Smipack FW550 Flow Wrapper

The new FW series of automatic packaging machines with flow pack system, designed according to Industry 4.0 and IoT (Internet of Things) technological platforms, is the family of machines that completes the SMIPACK range. The version with rotary bar sealing system is composed of 6 models (four with upper reel and two with lower reel) and packs a wide range of products with irregular shapes and small dimensions that arrive at the machine either loose (single doses) or previously grouped (multipack); the products are placed in packages made up of simple or coupled flexible material with a maximum output between 60 and 200 products/minute (based on the selected model).

Thanks to the three pairs of pneumatic opening wheels, which perform the dragging, longitudinal sealing and  film folding operations, and the dynamic or adjustable conformer complete with accessories, the packaging process of the new FW models is simple and fast.

• High reel flow pack machine

• Sealing system with rotary bar

• Sliding surfaces of the products in AISI304

• 1500 mm - 59.06" infeed conveyor with adjustable guides

• Easily removable interlocking vanes

• Longitudinal sealing consisting of 3 pairs of drive wheels, the first pair pulls the film, the second does the sealing and the third folds the film

• Pneumatic opening of the longitudinal sealing wheels

• Motorized high reel holder
