How A Flow Wrapping Machine Works?

The working principle of a Flow Wrapping Machine is in such a way that single products are lined up by a conveyor to a forming box.

The products are then surrounded by a continuous film tune created by the forming box.

The items are then separated using a combination of rotary heat sealers and cutters into single product wrappers.

The products that have already been sealed and packed are then ejected from the machine into packing boxes for transportation.

Material Used In Flow Wrapping Machine

The Flow Wrapping Machine usually wraps the product using various types of materials depending on product specifications. They include:

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)

This type of plastic wrapping is normally used on food products and is mainly made of thermoplastic polymer.

Polyethylene (PE)

This is a synthetic resin that is versatile and light originating from ethylene polymerization

Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Films (BOPP)

In the event that high strength and clarity are required in wrapping a product, then the Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Film is the most suitable.

It also ensures that the product remains fresh all through.

Components Of A Flow Wrapping Machine

The Flow Wrapping Machine has the following main components:

Infeed Conveyor

It is responsible for moving the products using pushers so that they can be wrapped.

The chains on it have lugs or pushers where the products are manually or automatically placed depending on the machine design.

Back Stand

It has reel holders (either one or two depending on the machine) with other incorporated technology like powered film reels.

It also contains an automatic film tracking technology to ensure smooth wrapping.

Feed Roll

It is located on the back stand and is responsible for supporting the film movement using driven rollers.

Converter Splice Detector

It us used to spot markers that are available on the reel and ejects those that are faulty once they pass through the discharge belt.

Splicer

It is used to connect two different film reels by joining an empty film reel at one end with a with a new film reel.

Film Cutter

Works in conjunction with the splicer and separates the different packages after wrapping by cutting them. It greatly reduces the rate of rejection of the packages.

Film Reel Holders

These holders are self-centering and assist in adjusting the film center and aligning it with that of the machine thus eliminating manual adjustments.

Pushers

They are responsible for conveying the products into the former in a forward motion for them to be wrapped.

Fin Wheels

Used to seal the products two mating edges by folding over the fin strip over inside the package in readiness for the end seal by the jaws.

Former

This is where the packages pass through when a layer of sealing material is used to wrap them and their base mated.

End Seal Crimpers

Composed of two rotating shafts with each having between 1 to 4 crimpers having straight or serrated knives.

These are the ones that are used to cut the packages.

Rotary Heat Sealer

Responsible for creating airtight packages that are protected from any form of damage by using heat for the final sealing.

Shrink Wrapping Machine is recommended for products such as bottled drinks, food stuff and pharmaceuticals.

Flow Wrapping Machine is suitable for products such as stationeries, chocolate bars or even biscuits.

Precaution When Using A Flow Wrapping Machine

Certain precautions should be taken when operating a Flow Wrapping Machine to ensure safety and efficiency. They include:

i. Ensure that the fixed-grip wheel is properly fastened and the inner film roller supported fully by the outer and inner rollers.

ii. The film center point and the film carrier center point must always be in the same position.

This allows the film trace to be successfully recorded by the eye trace sensor.

iii. The product width should determine the adjustment of the machines bag front width. The gap should be small to allow easy passage of the product.

iv. The Flow Wrapping Machine should be installed at an angle and not horizontally.

For the film to be smoothly fed from the film roll, the recommended angle is 15-20° in regard to the upper left position.

Benefits Of A Flow Wrapping Machine

The Flow Wrapping has many benefits to the manufacturer and the products it wraps that include:

Improved Hygiene

The Flow Wrapping Machines greatly minimizes the human contact with the product being handled through automation.

Contamination is thus avoided in addition to nitrogen used in packaging that keeps the food fresh for longer.

Increased Production

Due to the high operating speed of the Flow Wrapping Machine, very many products can be packaged in a very short time.

This increases the companies output which in turn leads to increased sales.

Product Preservation

Flow Wrapping Machines ensure that the product is sufficiently sealed hence keeping it fresh for longer.

It also protects it from oxygen, contamination and Ultraviolet rays therefore making it safe for use.

Ease Of Transportation

Since the Flow Wrapping Machine ensures the product is wrapped in a fixed position, transporting them becomes easier.

The product also experiences very minimal disturbance during transportation due to the compact wrapping.

Choosing A Flow Wrapping Machine

There are certain factors to be considered before settling on the most appropriate Flow Wrapping Machine. They include:

Cost

Budgeting has to be done before purchasing and the cost of acquiring the machine should fall within the budget.

This however should not compromise the quality and efficiency of the machine that one requires.

Size

The size of the Flow Wrapping Machine should be sizeable enough to fit into the final intended premise with sufficient space left.

It should be big enough to serve the purpose for which it was acquired for.

Purpose

The qualities of a Flow Wrapping Machine assist in evaluating the right machine for the function required.

This will help in utilizing the machines abilities and fulfilling to the maximum the machines intended purpose efficiently.

Material

The materials used to manufacture the Flow Wrapping Machine selected should be rigid and very durable.

This is to ensure that it can withstand harsh conditions such as corrosion, extreme temperatures and weather conditions.

Features Of A Flow Wrapping Machine

The Flow Wrapping Machine contains certain unique features that include:

i. it has an electric panel that is durable and controls the power that runs the machine.

ii. It has a Programmable Logic Control (PLC) that is responsible for regulating the sealing unit temperatures.

iii. The speed of operation and the length of the bags are regulated using double frequency inverter controls.

iv. For the safety of the operator, the jaw guards are equipped with an interlock.

v. The size of the packages can easily be adjusted through a bag former having a unique design.

Types Of Product Feeding In Flow Wrapping Machine

Products can be fed into the Flow Wrapping Machine in three different ways:

Manual Feeding

The products are placed manually by hand between an infeed chain’s pushers with the operation speed determined by the operators feed rate.

The operators eye-hand coordination greatly impacts the machines efficiency and is not limited by the machine.

Semi-Automatic Feeding

In this form of feeding, products are manually fetched from a central production line and placed into an automatic feeding system.

It is from the feeding system that the products are transported automatically to pass between the infeed chain pushers.

Fully Automatic Feeding

This type of feeding has no form of manual interference since a belt conveys the products from the main production line.

It is then automatically fed to the flow wrappers infeed system which is also automatic.

Sealing Techniques In Flow Wrapping Machine

Three types of film sealing techniques can be used in the Flow Wrapping Machine depending on the product characteristics and cost of material.

Barriers such as oxygen and UV rays together with the integrity of the seal also determine the film seal to be used.

Cold Sealing

This type of film is made up of glue placed as a thin layer and a base material also called the carrier. For sealing of the product to be achieved, the two layers of glue are pressed together without a welding process taking place.

The protection offered to the product is not quality since the seal is not hermetic.

Furthermore, the product must be stored in a temperature-controlled room since heat compromises the glue negatively.

Heat Sealing

Heat seals are the best option available when the product requires a seal with high integrity and is achieved using sealing jaws.

This means that the seal is hermetic and the product is safe from oxygen and UV rays and can be stored at any temperatures.

The sealing jaws exert pressure on the heat seal film for a given time span and then released and cut to separate the product.

The products are normally air tight and the seal bond is usually very tight thus suitable even for important documents.

Ultrasonic Sealing

This is a longitudinal unit of sealing which works together with flying cross-sealing part to seal the products.

The sealing technique is remarkably gentle and is recommended for films that can be recycled.

Limitations Of Flow Wrapping Machine

The Flow Wrapping Machine has very few disadvantages that include:

i. The initial cost of acquiring a Flow Wrapping Machine is normally high but the benefits in the long run are very encouraging.

ii. Some of the machines require professionals to operate them thus cost of training increases a company’s expenditure.

iii. automatic Flow Wrapping Machines are complex in nature and some breakdowns may take time to repair.

Troubleshooting A Flow Wrapping Machine

The Flow Wrapping Machine may experience problems now and again with some common ones being:

i. Sometimes the film may be fed incorrectly mostly when it has not been well threaded. This can be solved by regularly inspecting the film threading before feeding it.

ii. Inconsistencies in placing the product in the package may be caused by the film moving faster than the product.

iii. This can be rectified by increasing the infeed pitch value or reducing the value of the package length in the parameters.

iv. The product getting jammed in the forming area may be caused by slow product movement compared to the short infeed pitch film.

This is solved by adjusting both the package length and the infeed pitch.

Semi-Automatic Flow Wrapping Machine Vs Automatic Flow Wrapping Machine

The Semi-Automatic Flow Wrapping machine operates on both manual and automatic mode at the same time.

The operator manually feeds the machine with the materials needed for packaging and the parameters set for the automatic mode to proceed.

The Automatic Flow Wrapping Machines operates autonomously upon starting subject to certain preset parameters.

The only manual intervention is when the operator presses the touch screen when adjusting parameters or diagnosing for malfunctions.

Quality Tests Performed On A Flow Wrapping Machine

After the manufacturing of the Flow Wrapping Machine is completed, its operational efficiency has to be ascertained.

Some of the quality control measures taken to this effect are:

Factory Acceptance Test

This test is carried out immediately after manufacturing in the premises of the manufacturer.

This is to confirm that the Flow Wrapping Machine working well with all controls and parts functioning perfectly.

Site Acceptance Test

After the Flow Wrapping Machine is delivered to the customer, a specialized team of technical professionals performs this test.

It is done at the customer’s premise and they leave the machine in perfect working condition.
