KeyChoc Flow-Wrap Machines

Flow-wrapping is a simple and economical method for the high speed packing of a wide variety of products across all industry types.

For Chocolates, Biscuits, Sugar Confectionery, Bakery Products, etc

Model No. Max. speed Min. pack length Max. pack length Max Pack Height Min. Film Width Max. Film Width
WR160 280 packs/min 70mm 160mm 50mm 100mm 260mm
WR350 280 packs/min 150mm 350mm 50mm 100mm 260mm

 

Features

  • Automated print recognition to ensure correct registration of print on pack
  • Electronic control panel with pack counter
  • 240v single phase supply
  • Total weight of machine only 600Kg
  • Optional automatic in-feed mechanism

The WR160 and WR350 are supplied with adjustable folding boxes which enable them to wrap different sizes as in the table above. As an alternative, they can be supplied with a fixed folding box which will only work with one pre-specified film width, although the film length can still be varied.

The main advantages of a fixed folding box over the adjustable folding box are much easier set-up and the ability to wrap smaller items than the minimum width given above. Switching between different fixed folding boxes is also very easy. The main disadvantage is obviously that you are limited in what you can wrap.

Please note that the maximum speed of 280 packs/min is only achievable if the product to be wrapped is very small. With longer products, the actual speed achieved will necessarily be slower and will depend on both the nature and size of the product.

Buying Custom-Built Machinery

As a result of our extensive experience in China, we have formed partnerships with a small, carefully selected group of companies which are able to provide good quality, specialised machinery across the chocolate processing, sugar confectionery and packaging machinery sectors.

In order to provide you, our customer, with the combination of service and competitive pricing that you want, along with complete transparency, we now offer two principal ways of sourcing our custom-built machinery:

Buying Agent Route

With this route, we would act as your “go-between” with our partners and basically handle everything for you. You benefit because, quite simply, you pay the manufacturer for building the machine and you only pay us for the service we provide before and after sales. For example, we will help you with all of the following:

  • Finalisation of specification including technical drawings as required
  • Communication with selected Chinese partners to obtain proposals and quotation
  • Placing of order with full technical specification
  • Inspection of machine in China prior to dispatch
  • Installation and commissioning of machine at your premises

Direct Route

In some cases, we understand that cost is an absolutely critical element of the package. If you are prepared to manage the sourcing process yourself, then we are happy to put you in direct contact with the relevant manufacturer. We would of course still be available to help you with after-sales service if you required it.

KeyChoc Engineering Services

With either route, as we are familiar with the machinery produced by our nominated partners, KeyChoc can provide you with whatever back-up services you need in the future, including servicing, repairs and routine maintenance. If you choose the direct route, KeyChoc can still provide an installation and commissioning service if required.

Please contact us on 01744 416397 or email sales@keychoc.com if you require further details of this or any other machinery.
