Asset Overview (Standalone)

The Shanklin F5DA Flow Wrapper is a horizontal flow wrapping machine designed for high-speed packaging of food and consumer products using centerfold film. The system forms, fills, and seals packages in a continuous motion, producing consistent, retail-ready wrapped products.

Constructed with stainless steel components suitable for food production environments, the unit is designed for reliability and ease of operation. The F5DA is capable of handling a variety of product sizes and configurations, making it suitable for frozen and prepared food applications.

This unit operates using air-assisted sealing and film feed systems and is commonly paired with downstream shrink tunnels to achieve tight, tamper-evident packaging.

Key Features

  • Horizontal flow wrap packaging system

  • Continuous motion operation for high throughput

  • Compatible with centerfold shrink film

  • Air-assisted sealing system

  • Stainless steel construction for food-grade environments

  • Adjustable for multiple product sizes and formats

Operational Role (Standalone)

This asset functions as the primary wrapping unit in the packaging process, enclosing products in protective film prior to shrink sealing, cartoning, and inspection.

Integrated System Role (AKDI Production)

The Shanklin F5DA Flow Wrapper operates as part of an integrated frozen food production and packaging system at the AKDI facility in Harvey, Illinois.

This system collectively supports production programs including:

  • Kroger “Deli Fresh” Pizza Production

  • Centreville Foods Pot Pie Production

Within this system, the packaging line operates in the following sequence after the Cryogenic Nitrogen Tunnel Freezer:

Flow Wrapper → Shrink Tunnel → Cartoning → X-Ray Tunnel Inspection

The flow wrapper represents the first critical packaging stage following freezing, converting bulk frozen product into sealed retail-ready units for downstream processing.

System Importance

As part of a continuous production chain, this asset is considered mission-critical infrastructure. Removal or disruption would directly impact AKDI’s ability to package and deliver finished goods for key customer programs.
