Pillow Packing Machine (Horizontal Flow Wrapper) for Snacks, Bakery & Daily Goods

About Pillow Packing Machine (Horizontal Flow Wrapper) for Snacks, Bakery & Daily Goods

A pillow packing machine, also called a horizontal flow wrapper, wraps individual or grouped products in a roll of film to create a sealed pillow-shaped pack with a back fin seal and end seals. It feeds, forms, longitudinally seals and cross-cuts continuously, making it ideal for biscuits, bread, confectionery, frozen food, soap, wipes and hardware. The airtight seal protects against dust and moisture, and optional MAP extends fresh-food shelf life.

How to Choose

  • Product shape & fragility: irregular, soft or fragile items need customised infeeds and gentle sealing control.
  • Film compatibility: confirm support for BOPP, CPP, PE, laminates or biodegradable films and printed-film tracking.
  • Speed & automation: match packs-per-minute to output; integrate feeder, coder, checkweigher or metal detector as needed.
  • Sealing & features: dual temperature control, servo motion and 'no product, no bag' sensors improve seal quality and reduce waste.
