We are proud to offer a range of Sigitaspak Italian-made Horizontal Flowrappers here in the UK. A horizontal flow wrapper (often called a horizontal form-fill-seal or HFFS machine) is an automated packaging system that creates a protective, tightly sealed package from a single flat roll of heat-sealable film. Sigitaspak specialises in designing and manufacturing a diverse lineup of Horizontal Form-Fill-Seal (HFFS) / Flowrapping machines. They are built to create secure, three-seam “flow pack” style packages from a single flat roll of heat-sealable film (such as polypropylene, barrier films, and laminates).

Flowrapping Case Studies
A Single-Machine Multi-Product Packaging Flowrapper
The customer wanted to eliminate the use of pre-made bags to reduce costs, simplify product changeovers and enable more than 15 different products to be packed using a single machine.
To meet these requirements, Sigitaspak designed and built a fully customised flow wrapper, featuring a bespoke forming tunnel capable of accommodating products of varying lengths, heights and widths. This provided a flexible, single-machine solution tailored to the customer’s diverse product range.
Since introducing the flow wrapper to their packaging process, the customer has reported significant improvements in operational efficiency, labour costs, packaging material consumption, alongside improved overall bag quality. With processing time reducing from 6 hours with multiple operators to just 1.5 hours with a single operator.
Improving overall line efficiency and reliability for Biscuit packs
An Eastern European biscuit manufacturer with a high output of ~1.5 tonnes/hour from cooling tunnel was working with no automated solution and instead relied on heavy manual handling.
After speaking to our partners at Sigitaspak it was suggested that the process should be split into two automated lines, utilising two high-performance Flowrappers, one with a double film reel and automatic splicing and the other using 4 sealing wheel pairs with heated skates.
Following this investment the customer has achieved a fully automated line, from cooling tunnel to finished pack. In turn reducing manual handling and labour costs, whilst still achieving consistent pack quality at high speed, something which their customers expect as standard.
Over the last couple of years our in house sandwich kitchens have grown. As a food business the quality of the products that we serve to our customers each day is very important to us. The Soken HS35A sandwich sealer has helped us improve production efficiency, product quality and is a very reliable piece of equipment that we just couldn’t function without.
Having worked with Soken Engineering for more than 15 years now, I have always found their equipment and service to be first class and highly recommend them.
Soken machines are built to last, we chose to go with them for their speed, reliability and performance of the machines in general. We purchased not 1 but 2, an HS52 & HS60 model. They are great robust machines that will do the job you want.
