2008 - Minipack Torre Mailbag Form and Sealer

About this machine

This Minipack Torre Mailbag Form and Sealer is a form and seal machine — sometimes referred to as a form-fill-seal or flow wrapper — designed to automatically wrap individual products in a tight film sleeve with sealed seams at both ends and along the back. Machines of this type are widely used in print media distribution and mailing operations, packaging items such as catalogs, magazines, and periodicals for dispatch. Minipack Torre is a well-established Italian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the packaging machinery sector, producing a broad range of wrapping, sealing, and film packaging equipment for industrial and commercial users across Europe and beyond.

This particular machine, manufactured in 2008 and currently located in Germany, operates on a forming shoulder principle: flat film is drawn from a roll, shaped around the product by means of a forming shoulder, and then sealed with both a longitudinal back sealing seam and a transverse sealing seam. Sealing is achieved via independent hot wire sealing bars using impulse sealing technology, with electronic temperature control governing the process. The machine is capable of packaging up to 1,200 products per hour. Power requirements are 220–230 V at 50–60 Hz, making it compatible with standard single-phase European electrical supply.

The infeed and discharge process is fully automated: printed products are fed into the machine, detected by a sensor, conveyed through the wrapping and sealing station automatically, and discharged at working height via an outfeed conveyor belt. The machine accepts flat film of various thicknesses, offering flexibility across different product sizes and film specifications.

A display panel gives the operator control over a comprehensive range of parameters, including bag length, sealing time, film slack control, and cycle start. Pressure settings are independently adjustable for the longitudinal sealing jaw, the transverse sealing jaw, and the guide rollers. Sealing jaw temperatures can be set separately for both active operation and standby modes. The display also provides a piece counter and a production counter, supporting output monitoring during operation. The locking time of the counter-pressure rollers following product passage is likewise operator-adjustable. The machine is mounted on castors with a locking function, making it mobile and easy to position within a production environment.

The scope of delivery includes an operating manual with circuit diagram. The machine is available for a live demonstration under power.
