Horizontal Flow Wrapper · Fresh Produce Line

Fruit-safe flow wrapping, from bin to sealed bag

The TL-FP-350 wraps citrus, tree fruit and delicate produce at up to 230 bags per minute, without the bruising, drops and rejects that come with rigid chain-conveyor wrappers.

Why Packers Choose the TL-FP-350

Built around the fruit, not the other way around

Gentle handling that preserves fruit quality

A cushioned conveyor and soft feeding mechanism move oranges, lemons and other delicate fruit into the film web without pressure points or drops — packers report noticeably fewer rejected units than with rigid chain-conveyor wrappers.

TL-FP-350 soft fruit feeding device

Complete automation, bin to sealed bag

Weighing, feeding, wrapping, sealing and cutting run as one continuous operation. A single operator manages the line while the system handles up to 230 packages a minute — turning packing from a seasonal bottleneck into a steady process.

One machine, multiple market formats

The TL-FP-350 produces standard pillow bags and side-sealed pillow bags. The touchscreen HMI stores recipes for different fruit sizes and bag configurations, so switching from small lemons to large oranges takes minutes, not hours.

What these numbers mean on your line

  • At top speed, 230 bags/min works out to roughly 110,000 packs across an 8-hour shift — enough for most mid-size citrus packing houses to run one line per grading station.
  • 55–60 mm product height comfortably fits standard oranges, lemons and limes; larger grapefruit may need the lateral feed option.
  • 4.15 m machine length fits into most existing packing lines without a facility rebuild — plan for feed and discharge clearance of roughly 1 m on each end.

Side by Side

TL-FP-350 vs. conventional chain-conveyor wrappers

Most flow wrappers on the market were designed for boxed, rigid goods and adapted for fruit later. The TL-FP-350 was built for delicate produce from the start.

Applications

What packers run through the TL-FP-350

Individually wrapped citrus fruit packs

Citrus fruits

Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits and mandarins keep their rind unblemished through the cushioned transport system, arriving at shelf looking freshly picked.

Individually wrapped pears

Tree fruits

Apples, pears, peaches and plums move through the soft feeding system without the bruising that leads to rapid browning and customer rejection.

Individually wrapped persimmons

Specialty produce

Kiwis, avocados, persimmons and mangoes — soft flesh under delicate skin — need the precise pressure control the TL-FP-350 provides to arrive without hidden internal damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before you request a quote

Yes. The touchscreen interface stores up to 100 product recipes covering different fruit dimensions and bag sizes. Operators select a recipe and the servo system automatically adjusts film feed, bag length and sealing parameters. Recipe changeover takes 5–10 minutes, and the machine handles fruit diameters from small lemons to large oranges without mechanical modification.

The TL-FP-350 runs food-grade films including BOPP, PE and multi-layer composite films. For fresh fruit, a micro-perforated or breathable film is usually recommended over a fully sealed film, since produce continues to respire after packing — a fully airtight bag can trap moisture and accelerate spoilage. Film choice also depends on shelf-life target, retailer barcode/print requirements and local food-contact regulations; our team can recommend a film spec based on your fruit type and export destination.

The built-in date printer marks each package with production date, batch number, lot code and sequential count. Production data logs through the PLC system, so packers can generate reports for food safety audits, customer inquiries or recall management. An optional labelling module adds barcode or QR code capability for supply chain integration.
