High-Speed Form/Fill/Seal

Form/Fill/Seal

You’re familiar with those golden snack cakes with the creme filling right? You probably can’t count the number you’ve unwrapped over the years. Those yummy treats along with countless other products are wrapped in crispy, crinkly polypropylene film on a Form/Fill/Seal machine.

We’ve got experience wrapping everything from frozen bagels to grout sponges. Our knowledge along with PFM’s complete line of equipment make us the players you want on your team.

Here’s a sampling of some of the Form/Fill/Seal machinery we have to offer.

Here’s How it Works:

The PFM Swift

SWIFT is a horizontal flow-wrap type packaging machine. Like all horizontal flow-wrap machines, SWIFT produces packs that are sealed on three sides from a roll of heat-sealable packaging film. It can run up to 100 mechanical cycles per minute. Of course the actual number of packages per minute depend on the product you intend to run and the film you plan on using.

SWIFT can be customized with many optional features including a photocell for print-registration and a hot-stamp printer for date/lot coding.

The PFM Pearl

PEARL is a full servo horizontal flow-wrap machine. The standard machine can produce up to 120 packages per minute (depending on the product and film). It has a carbon steel frame, compact design, cutting edge hardware and a color touch screen operator interface.

Because of its servo motor controls, PEARL can automatically adjust the bag length, print registration position, crimper position, dwell time and the overall machine speed. This is all done via the operator interface - no tools required.
