Horizontal Flowpack Packaging Machine (MAP) High‑integrity horizontal packaging with Box Motion technology for modified‑atmosphere applications The Horizontal Flowpack Packaging Machine (MAP) is a horizontal form‑fill‑seal (HFFS) system engineered for the packaging of cheese and other perishable products under Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) conditions. Its full stainless‑steel construction ensures reliable operation in aggressive dairy environments, including whey and brine exposure. The machine operates on a continuous horizontal flow principle with top‑web feeding. Products are guided through an adjustable forming tunnel, where a controlled inert gas mixture is injected to displace residual oxygen prior to sealing. Unlike conventional rotary flowpack machines, this system incorporates a Box Motion transverse sealing unit with rectangular movement synchronized to the product flow. This design significantly extends sealing time, which is critical for achieving complete fusion of high‑barrier laminated films used in MAP applications. The result is a hermetic, high‑integrity seal that maximizes shelf life while ensuring consistent pack quality, even at high production speeds. Key benefits • Eliminates package failures caused by insufficient seal integrity • Extends shelf life through reliable modified‑atmosphere sealing • Enables the use of high‑barrier laminated films with complete seal fusion • Reduces packaging material costs by up to 40% compared to thermoforming • Fast, repeatable format change via PLC control The Horizontal Flowpack Packaging Machine (MAP) delivers robust sealing performance, hygienic design, and cost‑effective operation, making it an ideal solution for modern cheese and dairy packaging lines.
