Industrial belt-type film packaging machines are commonplace in production facilities. This is since the packaging of products in film has become standard in many industries. Among these, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or electronics are leading the way. One of the most effective solutions in this field are the strapping machines. These advanced machines enable products to be packed quickly, efficiently and aesthetically. They are well protected. They remain fit for consumption for longer. They also guarantee an attractive appearance on the shop shelves. Not surprisingly, the popularity of strapping machines.

Tape wrapping machines are specialised machines. They are designed to automatically wrap products with film supplied in tape form. The packaging process involves wrapping the product with film. The ends are then sealed. This creates a sealed package. There are several types of film packaging machines. They differ both in their mode of operation and in their application.

Types of tape-type film packing machines

The types of tape-type film packing machines depend on their intended use. This is based on product specifications and available space. The volume of production also matters. In industry, the most common use is for film packaging machines :

  • Vertical packers - form, fill and seal packs in a vertical position. They are ideal for packing loose, granular or fine products. Hence, vertical packers are commonly used for coffee, sugar, rice or cereals.
  • Horizontal packers - operate in a horizontal position. They are designed for packaging products that require a complex package shape. They are commonly used when wrapping cakes, bars and bakery products.
  • Flow packers - mainly used for packing individual products or in bulk. Used in the food sector for sandwiches and fruit. Also used in the medical sector. They package syringes or bandages. Widely used in many other industries.
  • Shrink packaging machines - use shrink film. This shrinks when exposed to heat. This ensures that the film adheres tightly to the product. Such packaging is ideal for multi-packs of beverages, chemical and cosmetic products.

Tape wrapping machines - advantages of use

The advantages of using film packaging machines are indisputable. They are fast and easy to operate. In addition, they meet all the requirements of many industries. The advantages of using a belt packaging machine also include:

  • Product protection - the film protects against moisture. In addition, it also protects against dust and other contaminants. Protects against mechanical damage.
  • Extended shelf life - airtight packaging protects food products. It gives them a longer period of protection against spoilage. The foil also protects against the effects of external factors.
  • Product aesthetics - attractive packaging attracts customer attention. This is usually evidence of good quality or branding. It also makes it possible to print product information, company logos or barcodes on the film.
  • Production efficiency - automation of the packaging process increases production efficiency. Ultimately, it reduces manual labour costs and packaging time. This is important, especially for large-scale production. The machines are extremely accurate. The foil packers do not make mistakes, they measure the correct amount of product. In turn, this leads to lower production losses.

Industrial use of sleeve packers

Sleeve-type film packaging machines are commonplace. They are used in almost every industry. The most common examples of use come from:

  • Food industry - packaging of snacks, bars, biscuits, chocolate, fruit and vegetables. Also for packaging loose products such as flour, sugar, coffee, rice.
  • Pharmaceutical industry - packaging of medicines, dietary supplements, bandages, syringes.
  • Cosmetics industry - packaging of creams, lotions, shampoos, soaps.
  • Electronics industry - packaging of small electronic components, batteries, computer accessories.
