BW Packaging, part of Barry-Wehmiller, has officially launched its Hayssen X850 flow wrapper in European markets. Initially engineered to cater to the specific needs of block and sliced cheese requiring superior seal integrity at high speeds, this innovative multi-jaw flow wrapper utilizes advanced servo ring technology along with a quick-release jaw design. As a result, it sets a new standard in performance and quality within the flow-wrapping sector.
Jim Kolmus, Vice President of Innovation Operations at BW Packaging, stated, “The Hayssen X850 was designed to build upon the strong foundation of our previous Hayssen RT model, a flow wrapper that has been a powerhouse for many cheese manufacturers for almost 70 years.” He emphasized that the X850 incorporates valuable customer feedback, modernizing the operational experience, particularly by minimizing maintenance tasks and time.
The Hayssen X850 excels in high-volume output, capable of cycling up to 300 packs per minute while effectively addressing and resolving product jams without halting operations. Its film unwind system enhances film tracking precision, simplifying loading processes and reducing downtime. Additionally, its servo jaw controls are designed to decrease wear and maintenance requirements.
Meeghan Sheppard, Product Manager at BW Packaging, underscored, “This machine also delivers on simplifying the operator experience.” The flow wrapper features a customizable RFID login, and the award-winning OpView™ HMI provides operators with intuitive navigation, simplifying both onboarding and training with guided instructions for optimal operation.
Constructed with a stainless-steel frame, the Hayssen X850 is designed to meet modern manufacturing standards, offering an IP66 rating for washdown capabilities. It features advanced HMI-controlled gas flush and independent temperature controls, allowing compatibility with various types of zippers and films, including those made from recyclable materials.
Hayssen has long been the preferred choice for cheese manufacturers seeking flexible packaging solutions. As a trusted name under the BW Packaging umbrella, it offers unmatched performance, reliability, and lifelong support for parts and services.
