Hugo Beck Flowpack X
THE MODULAR SOLUTION FOR AIR-TIGHT FILM PACKAGING AND PAPER PACKAGING
The flowpack machine flowpack X achieves one hundred percent air-tight film packaging seams, seamless traceability and reproducible results from the very first product packaging. Packaging under modified atmosphere is possible. Huck Beck’s packaging machine flowpack X packs goods in film or paper, by a simple changeover.
The flowpack X is available in two versions: with longitudinal sealing above or below. Both versions can be equipped on a modular and individual basis. Examples here are finger conveyor chains or infeed belts, thermal transfer printer, labelling machine and film roll changer for continuous film unwind, i.e. non-stop operation.
The flowpack machines are also available as a hygienically designed version.
Flowpack Machine for Paper Packaging
Our box-motion flowpack X packaging machine is suitable for heat and cold-sealable cellulose-/paper-based packaging materials. Thanks to continuous transversal sealing, a long dwell time and high sealing pressure is achieved enabling optimum processing of the most diverse coated papers, such as barrier paper, kraft/offset/parchment and other papers with PE, PLA or dispersion coatings. The flowpack X packs goods in paper or film, by a simple changeover.
