Our History

The Hayssen brand began in 1910, when its founder, Herman Hayssen, invented and patented the first automatic bread wrapping machine in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The first machines were manufactured in Mr. Hayssen's garage with the help of just one mechanic.

Hayssen was a privately-held and family-owned company from 1910 until 1966, when it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bemis Company, a principal manufacturer of packaging materials and specialty coated and graphics products headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In May, 1997 Hayssen was acquired by Barry-Wehmiller and is now a BW Flexible Systems brand.

What Is a Horizontal Flow Wrapper?

Horizontal flow wrappers perform three tasks in one fluid, continuous motion: infeed and spacing of items, wrapping the film around the items, and then sealing and discharging the finished product. The packages need to be protective, consistent, and professional without sacrificing speed. Flow wrappers are often called form fill and seal machines.

Horizontal flow wrappers are widely used in a variety of industries including food, personal care, household products, and more.

How Does a Horizontal Flow Wrapper Work?

HFFS machines help manufacturers achieve speed and efficiency in their packaging processes. No matter your requirements, BW Flexible Systems can provide a user-friendly flow pack system for you.

First, an in-feed conveyor spaces and delivers your products into a forming box. On machines with a rotary sealers, this forming box applies packaging film around the product. Then the film is sealed and cut, forming the bag. BW Flexible Systems also offers Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) solutions for products that require it.

Once this process is completed, the sealed product is ready to be boxed and shipped.


Why Should I Use a Flow Wrapping Machine?

Flow wrappers are designed with efficiency and accuracy in mind. They are an excellent solution for both growing and high-volume manufacturers.

Flow wrappers help you achieve your goals of packaging products quickly and efficiently. They provide a shelf-stable wrapped package that protects products from contamination and improves shelf life.
