High-flow wrapping for delicate products

A manufacturer needed to expand its operations to achieve a speed of 300 ppm for its frozen dried yoghurt product.

Previously operating on a 140 ppm manually fed Omori Flow Wrapper, the manufacturer called on Perfect Automation for a faster solution for its lightweight, heat-sensitive product.

High-speed performance can be tricky to navigate, with many variables impacting final speeds.

Omori’s Complete Aligning and Fully Automatic S-56000X-BXS High-Speed Box Motion Flow Wrapper system delivering a hermetic seal at 300 ppm was installed for packaging the delicate product.

Having undergone strict and strenuous testing criteria for light and difficult products, the packaging of frozen dried yoghurt weighing only 1 g with a crumbly exterior was a challenge.

Achieving minimal seal testing criteria of 80 kPa for three minutes in a finished leakproof pack was no easy feat.

With the high-density barrier film made up of 12 µm PET, 7 µm aluminium and 45 µm LDPE for product protection, Omori box motion technology allowed for optimal sealing of products averse to moisture and oxygen with no impact to the 300 ppm rate required.
