Preventing tears starts with steady product handling. A tortilla packaging line can keep large flatbreads in position by spacing them consistently at the infeed, guiding them during horizontal transfer, and coordinating the film feed with the wrapping cycle.
A belt conveyor fitted with side guides or an alignment track helps limit sideways movement as tortillas travel toward the wrapper. Photoelectric sensors can detect product position, while adjustable conveyor speeds help maintain orientation and spacing before packaging.
A suitable flow wrapper forms and seals film around each flatbread. However, the available specifications relate to wafer products, not tortillas, so they cannot confirm the ideal operating settings. Test the line with the actual tortilla dimensions and packaging film to check alignment and reduce the risk of tearing.
