HFFS MACHINES

The Hurricane is a horizontal flowrap packaging machine which produces closed packs with three sealed edges from a reel of heat-sealable wrapping material.

Packaging which is strong, attractive and perfect: the special design of the forming box, optimum calendar and rollers for film transfer and the positioning of components combine to give a machine which wraps products perfectly, producing accurate, crease free seals.
High flexibility and quick size change: the Hurricane can wrap a wide range of regularly shaped, solid products from the food, stationery, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. It is not necessary to change any mechanical parts in order to adjust the set-up, this is done by using two hand-wheels which carry out immediate adjustments to the pack length and the speed of the sealing crimpers.
Heat-sealable materials: special technical solutions have been applied which enable the Hurricane to use heat-sealable materials such as laminated or bonded polypropylene, polyethylene (Poly version), micro-perforated and shrink-wrap materials.
