Part 3 The Edward St Machines
The Tobenoil Years (1958 to 1966)
Flow-Wrapping Machines
In
1960
a
new
packaging
technology
was
sweeping
the
industry,"Flow-wrapping"
also
known
as
Horizontal
Form,
Fill,
and
Seal
(HFFS)
this
style
of
packaging
produced
a
Pillow
pack
style
wrap,
this
is
still
the
most
popular
form
of
food
wrapping
today,
and
apart
from
the
introduction of cold sealing in the early 90s it has not changed much over the last 50 years,
Auto
Wrappers
developed
and
manufactured
its
first
flow
wrapper
in
1960,
and
called
it
the
"AT"
machine,
This
was
the
for
runner
to
the
Versoflow
machines
Although
this
created
a
new
market
for
Autowrappers
it
also
saw
the
gradual
demise
of
the
Cut
and
Wrap
style
machines
as
customers
preferred
the
hermetic
air
tight
seal
which
increased
shelf
life
of
their
products.
