Flow-wrapping machine with quick format changeovers
Optimize your packaging flexibility with a flow-wrapping machine designed for seamless format changes and sustainable packaging solutions. Effortlessly switch between different products and materials to enhance efficiency and adapt to diverse market demands.

The Flowpacker from Schubert Group’s Packaging Solutions is engineered for industries demanding flexibility and high throughput in their packaging lines. This flow-wrapping machine is distinguished by its ability to conduct rapid format changes, facilitated by Schubert’s plug & play design philosophy. Each component, from the forming shoulders to the sealing units, is optimized for minimal adjustment, ensuring swift adaptation to diverse packaging requirements such as sandwich biscuits, chocolate bars, or yogurt cups. The machine incorporates RFID-coded format parts for error-proof changes and integrates seamlessly with upstream and downstream operations, including pick and place robots and tray destacking units. Capable of continuous and semi-automated operations, the Flowpacker handles both conventional and sustainable packaging materials, aligning with energy efficiency and environmental goals. Additionally, it supports various sealing technologies—heat, cold, and ultrasonic—for adaptable and efficient processing. With automated features like chain flight and film roll changeover, it reduces downtime substantially. Schubert’s engineers offer customization and technical support, ensuring the machine meets specific production demands, while maintaining compliance with industry standards for safety and hygiene.
