SIDE SEAL
Side sealing machines with film waste rewinders pack products with a lateral cut seal. As an option, machines can include a non-stop film waste disposal in production. Many different products can be bagged with Hugo Beck’s form fill and seal machines. Bags can be completely shrunk or simply sealed at the sides. No exchange parts are required to cope with different product sizes.
The lateral cut seal guarantees a high-quality pack finish without any film remaining on the product. Thanks to our patented tight packaging only as much film is used as is truly needed! This not only guarantees an unrivalled and outstanding finish to the film packaging, depending on the machine type, a film saving of up to 15% is also delivered.
The “side seal” packaging style can be produced at performance speeds of up to 80m/min.
Hugo Beck packaging machines process all types of machine-compatible films at maximum speeds including those that are considered problematic, for example due to their sealing ability, such as extremely thin packaging films available from just 7μm (e. g. polyolefin), 100% recyclable films made from monomaterials (e. g. polypropylene) and those made from recycled materials and bioplastics (e. g. PLA films).
