Touch Display

Using The Machine

The machine operator simply selects the product by its descriptive name from the touch display. This automatically

sets the bag length, position of the product within the bag and even the position of the 'sell by'  stamp.

Other functions of the machine remain unchanged except there are now no bag length mechanical knobs or physical adjustments or PEC positioning to worry about. Immediate bag registration, superb accuracy and total repeatability are now automatic.
Kit of Parts

What You Get

The image shows the basic kit of parts. It includes a graphics touch display, a high performance motion controller, motor, gearbox ,encoders and assorted pre-made cables for easy, almost. 'plug-n-play' wiring.

Installation and Operators Manuals including wiring drawings and photographic examples are included. Full backup and support is supplied by our own expert engineers who have a wealth of experience with almost every make and model of flowrapper.

For high speed, high accuracy applications a high performance servo motor version is also available.

Installation Overview

Whether you perform the work yourself by following the detailed installation manual or leave it to us at one of our regional workshops, the process is the same:

   - Strip out the existing film drive variable gearbox and adjustment levers
   - Mount the motor/gearbox assembly and couple it to the existing shaft - click for example

   - Mount the seperate encoder so that it turns once per cycle of the machine - click for example

   - Fit the touch display in a convenient position - click for example

   - Construct or locate a suitable mounting for the registration sensor - click for example

   - Connect 24 volts, registration sensor and plug in supplied cable assemblies

   - Power up and set machine parameters to match your specific machine - click for example


The conversion is well within the capabilities of most maintenance or service engineers and at every step you have full telephone, email or even on-site support from real experts, backed by ISO9000:2000 accreditation. Most makes and models of flow-wrapper have been converted and we can send in an expert engineer to assess exactly what's required before you start. Or, of course, we can do the complete job for you!

Second hand flow-wrap, flowrap or flowpack packing machines can be rebuilt, refurbished, updated and upgraded at very low cost. Used packaging machines are always available and a midasmotion DIY conversion is an excellent cost-effective way of imrpoving them. Printed film, often called registered film, film registration, PEC, is becoming more and more common as it provides a significantly higher quality wrap. The cost of new packaging machinery which caters for printed film is high and can still be troublesome on some low budget machines. Older mechanically operated PEC registration is inaccurate and wasteful, often taking many packs to pull into registration and significantly wandering around a registration mark. The midasmotion equipment is considerably more accurate and pulls into registration almost immediately, wasting no bags or film material. Used, second-hand and old flow wrappers, flow-wrappers and similar machines can easily be converted to perform high performance registration using this midasmotion designed equipment. Even new machines ordered without print registration can be modified cheaply and easily. Machinery manufactures use the system to add film registration to their own basic design of packing machine. The basic registration PEC system can be extended to form the complete control system for flow-pack, flow-wrap, flowrapping packaging machinery. Large corporate end-users of packing machinery to small family run bakeries have used this equipment at the heart of their packing machinery and packaging lines. The kit can be fitted to almost any flowrapper such as those by Record, Ilapak, Ulma, PFM, Rose Foregrove, Tyyrell, Argosy, Delfin, GSP, TISOMI, Auto-Wrapper, Bradman Lake, Bosch and many more. The motion controller is designed and manufactured by midasmotion ltd with servo and inverters by Omron/Yaskawa. Encoders are by BEC.
