Versatile Mistral Wipes Out Packaging Problems

A uniquely customised Mistral modified atmosphere flowrapping system that combines packaging speed with hermetic sealing is the latest in a line of successes experienced by specialist textile products company Severn Delta.

Severn Delta produces a range of wet, textile-based wipes and wash cloths and one of the most problematical areas of successfully packaging them is avoiding the fluid from the wipes coming into contact with the external surfaces of the pack. That would also compromise seal integrity and label application.

PFM's Mistral flowpack system using a film specified by Severn Delta that is ideal for use with such fluid impregnated products has overcome those risks.

One distinctive feature of PFM's wet wipes packing system, which is producing 70 packs per minute hand-fed with 15 varieties of pack, is the precise die-cutting of the printed laminate material that is over labelled as it unwinds off the reel - the labels being either transparent, or printed. The Mistral accepts blocks of wet wipes and wraps them, whilst the special rotary D-cam long dwell end seal jaws provide an hermetic seal to prevent the product drying out.
