Horizontal Form Fill and Seal Packaging Machine

Automatic horizontal form fill and seal machines use roll film to make bags in a continuous packaging process. Products are conveyed horizontally into the packaging area while the machine forms the film, creates longitudinal seals, performs transverse sealing and cutting, and discharges the finished packs. The result is a consistently formed pillow package with reliable seals.

Unlike vertical packaging machines that primarily use gravity for product filling, horizontal packaging machines are well suited to products with a defined shape, items that must maintain their orientation, or products requiring gentle handling. Common applications include biscuits, bread, convenience foods, pharmaceuticals, daily-use products and industrial components.

HFFS Packaging Machines
How HFFS Packaging Works

An HFFS machine feeds products horizontally into packaging film, which is formed around each product through a forming collar. The film edges are joined by a longitudinal seal, while cross-sealing jaws seal and cut the film to create individual pillow packs. A synchronized conveyor system ensures accurate product positioning and consistent bag lengths. The entire process runs automatically, with adjustable settings for different product sizes, packaging materials and production speeds.

Custom Packaging Systems

Runli combines HFFS flow wrapping machines with product feeding and alignment systems, coding and inspection equipment, and downstream cartoning or palletizing automation. Each line can be configured around the product dimensions, wrapping film, pack format and required output.
