Flow wrapper with quick format change
Streamline your packaging operations with a machine that offers rapid format changeovers to handle diverse products and packaging materials, enhancing flexibility and future-proofing your production line.
The Flowpacker from Schubert is an innovative packaging solution designed for industries ranging from food and beverages to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. This high-speed packaging system simplifies the challenge of handling diverse product lines with its rapid format-switching capabilities. The Flowpacker allows for seamless transitions between packaging types and sizes in under 15 minutes, utilizing RFID-coded parts for hassle-free changes without the need for deep technical knowledge.
Ideal for products such as biscuits, yogurt cups, and shampoo bottles, it integrates advanced sealing systems capable of processing both traditional and sustainable materials, like paper-based films. With automated operations including folienrolle (film roll) and mitnehmer (carrier) exchanges, production line downtime is minimized. Enhanced by Schubert’s plug-and-play philosophy, it features a PLC-controlled system ensuring continuous, high-speed performance. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, the equipment aligns with stringent hygiene and safety requirements, making it a versatile choice for modern production environments.
