The new Formost Fuji Alpha 8 Sanitary Wrapper, on display at PACK EXPO East, is designed with stainless-steel hardware, sealed bearings, stand offs, and slanted surfaces which reduce niches for microbial harborage. It allows access to the hard-to-reach areas of the machine that can hide debris. These important features are now available with a box motion end seal unit.
The Wrapper provides a high quality, tight seal, for difficult to seal films, while allowing for the machine to be disassembled for thorough sanitation and maintenance. The box motion model offers a smooth transfer of product into the end seal unit, which utilizes a “flying knife” for an easily adjustable and quiet operation. This system also allows for taller products and longer dwell times, and additional seal pressure when needed. The discharge conveyor has a “slide mechanism” that allows for easy access to the end seal area for maintenance and sanitation. Quick and tool free disconnect, and complete disassembly of the infeed allows for thorough sanitation throughout the conveyor.
