PFM Falcon Horizontal Flow Wrapper

Package Up to 6 Products per Package

The PFM Falcon horizontal packaging machine produces pillow-pack type bags from a roll of heat or cold sealable paper or plastic wrapping material. The Falcon's steel monoblock frame structure is painted with three layers of scratch-proof epoxy paint or made of stainless steel. All product contact parts are constructed from 18/10 stainless steel.

Benefits

Ideal for produce, especially round fruits and vegetables usually packed on trays like apples, kiwis, onions, peaches, etc. Conventional pillow packs can contain 1, 2, or 3 products; 4 (2+2) products; and 6 (3+3) products.

The Falcon versatile format change can produce packs containing 1 to 6 products.

Products previously packed in trays or on trays in pillow bags can now be packed in pillow packs only, reducing packaging costs and simplifying waste disposal.

The infeed conveyor and forming tunnel enable the Falcon to pillow pack products traditionally packaged on vertical packaging machines. The horizontal Falcon prevents delicate products from becoming bruised or damaged.

Features

Counter-pitch of pushers can be adjusted by a handwheel to suit the grade of produce

Vertical guides with idle rollers gently move round, fragile products forward

The forming box is adjustable to suit differently-sized products

Small rotating belt fitted at the bottom of the forming box helps insert the product into the wrapping material
