Amotek, part of the Optima Packaging Group (PELV Booth C-3936), will introduce the FBW flowbagger, designed specifically to meet the market demand for wet wipes.

The FBW combines the advantages of a horizontal wrap-around with a top longitudinal seam to prevent liquid loss during the wrapping process, and a standard bag filler’s practical cross weld with side gussets.

Amotek’s modular design provides interchangeable cross-sealing units for production speeds up to 80 cpm and rotating sealing modules up to 120 cpm.

The servo-driven film unwind module features easy threading, consistent tensioning, and a dual feed and backup reel design with auto-splicing and registration control for continuous material flow. Likewise, a dual unit labeling module provides continuous application of the recloseable adhesive labels that allow consumers to remove a single wipe at a time.

A servo-driven product infeed module synchronizes product transport to the servo-driven sealing, cutting and gusset tucking processes. All these functionalities are performed by an ELAU PacDrive automation system.
