Dettingen/Erms, 9 August 2016 – Hugo Beck, a leading manufacturer of flowpack, film packaging,
and post-print processing systems will team up with mopack and at this year's FachPack trade fair. As
a leading supplier of polyolefin, polyethylene and polypropylene packaging film and shrink film,
mopack complements Hugo Beck's range of horizontal film packaging solutions perfectly. Visitors can
explore applications for various mopack films and Hugo Beck packaging machines first-hand on Stand
307 in Hall 4A. Hugo Beck is also represented in the 'Packaging in Medical Technology and
Pharmacy' theme park on Stand 360 in Hall 9.
Flowpack seal-tight packagingThe flowpack X-e is the entry-level model of Hugo Beck's film packaging machines for flowpack
applications in many sectors, including the food and confectionery industry. It offers all the features of
larger machines, such as a rotary transverse sealing unit, a servo axis control system, and an
adjustable forming shoulder for a high degree of flexibility. Its typical fin seals produce exceptionally
airtight packs suitable for modified atmosphere applications and enhancing presentation at the point of
sale. The spectrum of films that can be used ranges from hot or cold-sealable across metallic or paper
coated films through to laminated films. Flowpacking using biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP)
film from mopack will be demonstrated at FachPack .
The flowpack machine line's X-D version is designed especially for use in the pharmaceutical and
medical technology sectors, where Hugo Beck specialises mainly in customised solutions. Fully
hermetic packaging seams, full traceability, and reproducibility from the first product packaging are
guaranteed. Examples of packaged items are infusion tubes, drug and alcohol tests, plaster,
diagnostic equipment, etc. Stringent cleanroom requirements are easily maintained when petri dishes
