Causes and solutions of flow wrap machine film deviation

The automatic flow wrap machines is a specialized type of food packaging machine that is designed specifically for the one-time packaging of solid-shaped foods (especially block-shaped, square-shaped, and long-shaped products). It is widely used in food processing, daily chemical products, medicine and other industries.

The deviation of flow wrap machine film is a common problem during the use of flow wrap machines. During the operation of flow wrap machine for sale, the flow wrap machine film may deviate from its proper position and causing the film to be reinstalled, bring inconvenience to the flow wrap machine operator, and also affects the packaging efficiency. Below we will introduce you about several common reasons and solutions for the direction deviation of flow wrap machine film.

Reason 1: The wheels in the middle sealing part are clamped too tightly
If the wheels in the middle sealing part of the horizontal flow wrap machine are clamped too tightly, the flow wrap machine film entry is difficult or even failed. This can result in deviation of the flow wrap machine film and lead to packaging bag jamming.
Solution: adjust the wheels in the middle sealing part of the small flow wrap machine slowly until the packaging film runs smoothly.

Reason2: The wheels in the middle sealing part are clamped too loosely
If the wheels in the middle sealing part of the horizontal flow wrap machine are clamped too loosely, it also can cause deviation of the flow wrap machine film. This is because if the wheels are too loose, it may result in insufficient pressure and cause the flow wrap machine film to deviate upward or downward during operation, making packaging film difficult to run smoothly.
Solution: adjust the wheels in the middle sealing part slowly until the flow wrap machine film runs smoothly.

Reason 3: The bag maker is not adjusted properly
If the bag maker of the small flow wrap machine is not adjusted properly, it may cause deviation of the packaging film. If the bag maker is bent or adjusted too big or too small, it may cause the flow wrap machine film to gradually deviate from the running track during the operation process, and then cause the film to deviate.
Solution: adjust the size of bag maker properly and calibrate the position of the bag maker.

Reason 4: Packaging film feeding device is loose
If the packaging film feeding device is loose, it may cause the flow wrap machine film to become slack and deviate from its intended direction. If the angle of the packaging film feeding device is not placed properly, the flow wrap machine film may not run in the correct direction, finally leading to the film will be out of the running track.
Solution：Adjust the angle of packaging film feeding device according to the height of the raw material.

Furthermore, most intelligent pouch packing machines currently available on the market are operated using PLC control systems, and the same applies to automate flow wrap machines. Therefore, in the “tracking mode” interface of automated flow wrap machines, the tracking method of the flow wrap machine film should be switched to “tracking cut”. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the sensitivity of the photoelectric sensor and adjust the pressure of the glue roller or the tension of the brake. Otherwise it may cause deviation of the flow wrap machine film too.

The above is our introduction to the common causes and solutions of flow wrap machine film deviation, hope it will be helpful to your flow wrap machine operators.
