Servo Powered Flow Wrapper - Changeover with ease

The Nexus four-servo flow wrapper is a horizontal flow wrapping machine built for lines that change products and film often. Four servo motors drive the end seal, the infeed chain, film tension and film pull, and every setting is stored per product, so a changeover is a recipe recall instead of a mechanical adjustment. It runs up to 60 packs per minute and is the premium model in the Nexus flow wrapper range.

What the four servos do

• End sealing unit: synchronises seal and cut timing to line speed automatically.
• Infeed chain: synchronises product feed to line speed.
• Film tension: adjusts automatically for different film materials.
• Film pull: adjusts automatically for different bag lengths and films.

On a conventional flow wrapper each of these is a manual setting that has to be re-tuned when the product or the film changes. On this machine all four load from memory at the press of a button, which is why it suits sites running many SKUs or several film types.

Specifications

• Speed: up to 60 packs per minute, dependent on product and film.
• Drive: four servo motors with stored product recipes.
• Changeover: product and film SKU changes by recipe recall, minimal manual adjustment.
• Pack styles: pillow packs, with gusset and tray options.
• Customisation: flow wrappers are re-designed to suit the application where a different speed or format is required.

Who it suits

Bakeries and snack producers with a wide product range, contract packers wrapping for several brands, and any line where changeover time costs more output than wrapping speed. Date and batch codes are printed on the film by a thermal transfer overprinter mounted on the film feed.
