How to Choose a Horizontal Flow Pack Machine

Horizontal Flow Pack machines (HFFS) form packages from film fed horizontally, with longitudinal and cross seals. The right model depends on the product, pack format, material and line configuration.

Check product dimensions and stability, required speed, infeed method, film type and integration with other machines. Material compatibility and performance should be confirmed for the selected configuration and, where needed, through tests with product samples.

Applications and Alternatives by Sector

Food and pet food. For individually wrapped products or small groups, consider pack size, required protection and film type. Applications differ between food and pet food; for loose products or larger weights, a vertical packaging machine may be more suitable.

Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Product shape, sensitivity and packaging requirements guide the configuration. For cartons or multipacks, also consider shrink wrapping machines and sleeve wrappers.

Fresh food. Materials, storage conditions and the intended shelf life require a specific assessment. If modified atmosphere is needed, review MAP packaging solutions and confirm the process with product tests.

Technical items. Shape, dimensions and abrasion risk affect film and infeed selection. For kits or grouped packs, compare integration with other equipment in a packaging line.

Focus on packaging lines

We love to welcome new challenges to design and build automatic lines suitable for high and medium production standards. The inclusion of one of our machines in an existing automatic line, or the study of a new production unit, is part of our company logic, according to the concept of “total service”.
