FP 100 HP: high-speed paper sealing by Tecno Pack

Tecno Pack continues its tradition of research and development, with an ever-increasing focus on energy savings and the shift towards fully sustainable packaging. The 2025 edition of the international IPACK-IMA trade fair marked the debut of the flagship model among horizontal flow pack packaging machines: the FP 100 HP BOX MOTION 520.

This new model has been specifically designed to ensure perfect sealing on paper, even at high speeds, delivering smooth and linear operation while eliminating the typical challenges associated with similar applications.

The FP 100 HP BOX MOTION 520 is the result of extensive optimization efforts, significantly enhancing both the reel drive system and the longitudinal and transversal sealing groups.

The transversal sealing unit features an innovative box motion system with extended sealing time, capable of delivering adjustable sealing pressure up to 600 kg per square centimeter, even at the highest operating speeds.

The film unwinding mechanism benefits from precision regulation, fully automated and supported by load cells. These ensure consistent film feed to the longitudinal sealing group under all conditions – from startup to top speed, during in-cycle adjustments, restart phases, and automatic reel changes.

The longitudinal sealing unit, consisting of four pairs of wheels, features exclusive micrometric adjustments designed for paper sealing, accommodating varying thicknesses and material consistencies.

At the Tecno Pack Group booth during IPACK-IMA 2025, visitors witnessed the FP 100 HP BOX MOTION 520 producing perfectly sealed paper packages at high speed (up to 160 packs per minute), appreciating the machine’s operational smoothness — a top-level performance maintained effortlessly at cruising speed.

Tecno Pack is fully prepared to meet the new challenges of industrialization in primary flow pack packaging, offering a thoroughly tested, reliable solution aligned with the demands of today’s market.

The Impact of Mill Closures on Packaging Innovation

Across Europe and North America, paper mills are closing their doors, reshaping the geography and economics of packaging supply. In countries such as Finland and Germany, structural overcapacity, declining demand for graphic papers, ageing assets and rising costs have forced significant consolidation. What remains is an industry under immense pressure, where fewer mills must produce
