The document discusses HFFS flow wrapper machines and how Omron provides automation solutions to improve their performance.

The main components discussed are the foil unwind, product feed and detection, longitudinal pull and seal, transversal seal and cut, and packed product out-feed.

Omron provides function blocks, a hybrid controller, motors, drives, sensors and other components that integrate easily and help create perfect seals each time by controlling temperature, seal jaw pressure and timing.
