“…a horizontally configured packaging machine.”
A very common question for us to receive is: “What is a Rollstock Machine?”
Today, we will answer that question simply!
A rollstock machine, a horizontally configured packaging machine, efficiently packages products. It utilizes heat, compressed air, or vacuum to thermoform pockets in a roll of film. Once formed, the pockets move into a loading station or fill area. Here, the operator places the desired product for vacuum sealing.
After inserting the product, the operator heat seals a non-formed top layer of film onto the pockets, creating an airtight package. Upon exiting the seal region, the operator can use crosscut and rotary knives to trim and refine the packaging, ensuring a clean and professional look.
Additionally, these rollstock thermoformers, also known as HFFS (Horizontal Form Fill Seal) units, significantly improve efficiency and result in visually appealing packaging. By using a rollstock machine, businesses streamline their packaging process, enhance productivity, and achieve captivating product presentations.
