The Pakasnax multipack wrapping machine is a horizontal form fill and seal machine, which has been specifically designed for multi-packing products such as bags of Crisps, Popcorn, Snacks etc. Packing these products in the multipack wrapping format presents several challenges, the main ones being retaining the collation during the wrapping process, and keeping the cut-off of the wrapping material to an absolute minimum. Thanks to the multipack wrapping machine design these objectives are achieved, and savings are therefore made by using less wrapping material, and as a result of minimal downtime and by the elimination of waste. The specific advantages are as follows; The film folding box has been designed specifically to control the collation of primary products during the transfer from the infeed into the longitudinal sealing area. The efficient sealing of the pack’s longitudinal seam is achieved by the use of sufficient heat sealing rollers to correctly transfer the heat to the wrapping material without stretching it. For this reason the machine is equipped with a first pair of unheated driving rollers, plus two further heated pairs of rollers. Radial adjustments can be made to the first pair of film rollers, thereby ensuring that the finished pack is always tight. The standard multipack wrapping machine is fitted with a no-pack-no-paper sensor. Sensors are also fitted to detect if the collation of products is out of position. This ensures that the end crimp jaws do not destroy the primary bags. If the sensor is activated it will instruct the end crimp jaws to remain in the open position until a correctly positioned collation has been established.
