MAP Fin Seal Packages at High Speeds
The high-speed PFM Mistral horizontal flow-pack wrapping machine which produces hermetically closed seals from a flat reel of heat sensitive wrapping material. The Mistral BB uses film positioned in a high position, and is specifically designed to run Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) at high speeds.
Benefits
With the long dwell, continuous flow, transverse sealing system, the Mistral reaches packaging speed of up to 140 packs per minute with the Long Dwell version and 400 packs per minute with the Long Dwell HS version.
The Mistral has a cantilever type construction. This means the various mechanical and electronic parts are situated at the rear of the machine in separate and protected compartments, where the product conveyor belts and sealing area are found at the front. As a result, the front of the machine is obstruction-free and allows any product residue to be cleaned easily without it ever coming into contact with the mechanical or electronic workings.
The Mistral has ease of operation, minimum maintenance, and high-quality of component parts.
