Tortilla Wrap Packaging with Box Motion Jaw System Horizontal Flowpack Packaging Machines

✅ 1. Product Feeding

• Manual or automatic feeding: Lavash is either placed manually on the infeed conveyor or automatically transferred from the production line (e.g., cooling conveyor).

• Alignment & spacing: Since lavash is flat and sometimes fragile, the feeding system must gently align and space the sheets to avoid overlap or breakage.

✅ 2. Film Feeding

• Rollstock film (usually BOPP or PE laminated film) is continuously fed into the machine.

• Printed or plain film may be used depending on branding needs.

• A forming box shapes the film into a tube around the lavash.

✅ 3. Product Wrapping

• Lavash enters the forming tunnel, where it’s wrapped horizontally in film.

• The system must minimize air inside the pack to keep the lavash from drying out.

• Often includes gas flushing (MAP) if longer shelf life is needed.

✅ 4. Sealing

• Longitudinal sealing (back seal) is done with heat-sealing discs.

• Transverse sealing (end seals) is made by box-motion sealing jaws.

• For lavash, box-motion sealing is preferred for better pressure control and to avoid product damage.

✅ 5. Cutting & Discharge

• The machine cuts the sealed film between packs.

• Packaged lavash is discharged to a conveyor for labeling, printing, boxing, or direct palletizing.
