Flow Pack Wrapper for Multi-Format Packaging Operations

ECHO Machinery manufactures versatile flow pack wrapper systems that accommodate pillow pack, gusseted, and block-bottom bag formats on a single platform. Designed for co-packers and manufacturers with diverse product portfolios, the flow pack wrapper features modular forming sets and quick-change sealing jaw cassettes that enable format switching in under 15 minutes. The machine handles a product size range from 40mm to 400mm in length with automatic film width adjustment via servo-driven forming shoulder positioning. Suitable for food, hardware, medical devices, and personal care items, this wrapper supports cold seal and heat seal films, registered and unregistered print, and integrates with upstream feeding systems including automatic weighers, volumetric fillers, and robotic pick-and-place cells. Production speeds vary from 60 to 180 packs per minute depending on product dimensions and film type.

Company Advantages

Multi-Format Quick-Change System

Interchangeable forming shoulders and sealing jaw cassettes allow operators to switch between pillow, gusseted, and block-bottom formats in under 15 minutes without specialized tools.

Universal Film Compatibility

Dual-mode sealing system supports both cold seal and heat seal films, including polypropylene, polyethylene, laminate, and paper-based substrates—future-proofing packaging material flexibility.

Seamless Upstream Integration

Standardized infeed conveyor interface with PECK/PICK protocol compatibility enables plug-and-play integration with multi-head weighers, volumetric fillers, and robotic loading systems.

Flexibility defines the modern packaging line, and ECHO flow pack wrappers are engineered for co-packers and manufacturers who need one machine to handle multiple formats. The core innovation is the modular forming section: each format uses a dedicated forming shoulder and jaw set that mounts on a common base frame with quick-release clamps and auto-recognition sensors that load the correct recipe parameters. The film unwind system handles roll diameters up to 400mm with motorized roll centering for web alignment. For registered print films, dual optical mark sensors provide redundancy, and the control system automatically compensates for print repeat variations. Temperature control extends across four independent heating zones on the longitudinal sealer and three on each cross-seal jaw set. An optional ultrasonic sealing module is available for heat-sensitive products requiring cold-seal-only operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can format changeovers be performed on this flow pack wrapper?

Typical format changeover—including forming shoulder, sealing jaw cassette, and film guide rail adjustment—takes 12–15 minutes for a trained operator. The auto-recognition feature loads stored recipe parameters automatically, eliminating manual entry of temperature, speed, and registration settings for each format.
Yes, the dual-mode sealing system allows operation with both heat seal and cold seal films. For cold seal operation, the heating zones are deactivated and pressure-only sealing is applied. An optional ultrasonic sealing module provides an alternative for applications requiring cold seal without pressure-sensitive film chemistry.
The standardized infeed interface supports integration with multi-head combination weighers, auger fillers for powder products, volumetric cup fillers, liquid piston fillers, and robotic pick-and-place cells. The wrapper control system communicates via Ethernet/IP or Profinet for synchronized speed control.

Customer Testimonials

Carlos Mendez
One machine replaced three dedicated wrappers

As a contract packer, format flexibility is everything. This ECHO flow pack wrapper replaced three single-format machines, and the 15-minute changeovers have dramatically improved our scheduling flexibility. We now run pillow packs in the morning and gusseted bags in the afternoon without issue.

Anna Johansson
Perfect for our diverse product range

We package everything from granola bars to hardware kits, and this wrapper handles all formats reliably. The automatic recipe loading during changeover prevents operator errors, which was a persistent problem with our previous manual-setup machines.
