HFFS Application

Bread Flow Wrapping Machine for Pillow Packs

Bread rolls, buns and small loaves are soft products whose shape can change under conveyor, guide or forming-box pressure. A suitable horizontal flow wrapper must maintain orientation, avoid unwanted compression and coordinate packaging with upstream cooling and product spacing.

Published HYS Configuration Facts

  • HFFS model range: HFS-260, HFS-350 and HFS-450
  • Published speed range: 20–250 packs/min

  • Published suitable film thickness: 0.03–0.06 mm

Final model, options and output are confirmed from product and package samples.

Custom functions: Nitrogen flushing, dust extraction, metal detection and checkweighing require a customized machine or line configuration.

Gentle Bread Handling

  • Provide product length, width, height, weight and acceptable compression.
  • Bread should reach packaging at a stable temperature and surface condition after cooling.
  • Guides and flights must control spacing without marking or deforming soft products.
  • Variation in loaf height and shape should be included in forming-box clearance.

Package and Freshness Inputs

  • Confirm film structure, barrier target, thickness, friction and sealing window.
  • Bag dimensions require enough headspace to avoid compressing the bread or trapping it in the seal.
  • Crumbs, oil and surface moisture can affect film tracking and seal quality.
  • Gas flushing, coding and easy-open features are customized project options.

Production Test Checklist

  • Every bread format and its maximum dimensions.
  • Upstream cooling, arrival rate and manual or automatic feeding method.
  • Target good packs per minute, film roll and finished bag dimensions.
  • Seal integrity, appearance and acceptable product deformation criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

Potentially, if both products fit the selected model and suitable forming parts are provided. Size and softness determine changeover requirements.

No. Shelf life depends on the bread formulation, cooling, hygiene, film barrier, atmosphere, seals and storage conditions. It requires complete process validation.
