Entry Level Flow Wrapper

The Nexus entry-level flow wrapper is a compact horizontal flow wrapping machine for small businesses and short runs. It is the smallest model in the Nexus flow wrapper range, built for a bakery, soap maker or contract packer moving off hand wrapping, with a footprint that fits a limited floor space.

What it does

Products are placed on the infeed chain by hand or fed from an optional feeding system. Film from the reel is formed into a tube around the product, fin-sealed underneath and end-sealed and cut into a pillow pack. A precision photocell reads the print mark on the film so graphics land in the same place on every pack, and bag length indication on the screen makes length changes quick and accurate.

When product changes and film changes become frequent, the four-servo flow wrapper stores every setting as a recipe and runs up to 60 packs per minute. When hand-loading the infeed becomes the bottleneck, the flow wrapper with robotic infeed removes it. Date codes are added by a thermal transfer overprinter on the film. Our guide to flow wrap packaging covers the format.
