Xflow®, roll-stock films for automated packing of bulk fresh produce

Series of roll stock film, by StePacPPC, for automated packing of bulk fresh produce in high throughput horizontal form, fill and seal (HFFS; Flow-pack) and vertical form, fill and seal (VFFS) machines.

Xflow meets the needs for automation and leaner film specifications by saving up to 40% in use of plastic film in comparison to the preformed bulk bag variant.

Xflow significantly extends freshness of fruits and vegetables by providing a produce-specific Modified Atmosphere (MA) and Modified Humidity (MH) that slows respiration and aging processes whilst inhibiting microbial growth.

It also reduces dehydration and weight loss during storage and shipment. StePacPPC provide our customers with comprehensive postharvest technical support to ensure uniform and consistent performance of the packaging.
