Texwrap engineers American-built shrink packaging equipment designed to thrive in the demanding conditions of frozen food processing facilities.

From high-velocity pizza lines to delicate frozen pie operations, Texwrap delivers custom-tailored automation for facilities of every scale. Frozen pizzas, family-style lasagna trays, single-serve entrees, and dessert pies all present distinct challenges on the line, from loose ingredients to strict hygiene standards. We pair your application with the optimal system, integrating orbital or continuous side-seal units with specialized product-handling infeeds, rugged washdown stainless steel, and precise servo-driven print registration.

Our specialized infeed modules—including automated circle placer merges, smart-belt spacing, and lane dividers—keep pizzas, toppings, and multi-component meal trays completely stable through high-speed wrapping sequences. To meet rigorous plant hygiene protocols, Texwrap equipment offers full stainless steel frames and quick-disconnect washdown infeeds built for harsh cold-room sanitation cycles. Integrated servo architecture eliminates high-wear mechanical components while locking in tight film alignment across branded polyolefin wraps. By maintaining precise film control, Texwrap systems minimize film waste on every cycle while producing exceptionally strong, cold-tolerant seals that stand up to sub-zero distribution networks.

HIGH-SPEED ORBITAL PIZZA PACKAGING

Eliminate line bottlenecks downstream from your freezing tunnel. Driven by Texwrap’s patented servo orbital sealing head and proprietary TVS2 side-seal technology, our continuous-motion wrappers maintain total product stability to wrap up to 160 pizzas per minute. From cardboard circle merging to auto-spacing, custom infeeds keep loose toppings contained while forming a tight, tamper-evident shrink seal on every pie.

WASH-DOWN READY FOR HARSH FROZEN ENVIRONMENTS

Protect your packaging machinery in high-moisture and cold-room conditions. Texwrap offers heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel construction with custom washdown infeed conveyors specifically designed for frozen food processing plants. Designed to handle frozen meal trays, lasagna containers, and deep-dish pies, these sanitary systems prevent cold-chain degradation and streamline sanitation routines.

VERSATILE MULTI-FORMAT MEAL OVERWRAPPING

Transition easily between diverse SKU sizes, from individual ready-to-eat dinners to large family-style lasagna trays and multi-packs. Texwrap’s box-motion and side-seal technology delivers tight, high-clarity polyolefin film wraps that lock out freezer burn, maintain brand graphics via precise servo print registration, and maximize eye-catching appeal in the retail freezer display.

F.A.Q: Frequently Asked Questions About Our Frozen Food Packaging Solutions

How do you shrink wrap frozen pizzas without losing toppings or damaging crusts?

Frozen pizzas (sheeted, hot-pressed, or self-rising) are wrapped using Texwrap’s OSS Series continuous-motion orbital side sealers or TVS2 side-seal systems. Equipped with custom smart-belt infeeds, cardboard circle mergers, and gentle product transitions, these systems lock loose toppings in place and create a tight, tamper-evident seal at speeds up to 160 units per minute.

What machine is best for overwrapping frozen lasagna trays and ready-to-eat (RTE) meals?

Frozen lasagna, trayed entrees, and multi-pack meal cartons are best wrapped on the CSS-2011 box-motion side sealer or the TLS Series L-sealers. These machines deliver heavy-duty seal integrity on rigid trays and paperboard cartons, ensuring a tight outer film wrap that protects against freezer burn during transport and storage.

How do you shrink wrap delicate frozen pies and dessert trays without crushing them?

Delicate items like frozen fruit pies, cream pies, and ice cream cakes are processed on Texwrap side-seal wrappers like the CSS-1809. The continuous-motion side-seal mechanism wraps gentle, non-crushing film enclosures around delicate crusts and decorative edges, maintaining product shape without applying destructive pressure.

Can Texwrap machines handle washdown environments in frozen food processing facilities?

Yes. Texwrap builds sanitary, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel machines specifically engineered for high-moisture and cold-room food processing environments. Available features include removable washdown infeed conveyors and sealed enclosures to simplify plant sanitation routines and meet strict FDA hygiene standards.

How fast can Texwrap shrink wrap frozen pizzas and frozen meals?

Throughput depends on product dimensions, tray type, and film gauge, but Texwrap’s continuous-motion orbital sealers (like the OSS-209) achieve verified speeds of up to 160 pizzas per minute (with top-end machine capabilities exceeding 200+ PPM depending on the infeed). Side-seal wrappers for frozen meal trays and pies typically run from 50 to 100+ feet per minute depending on line configuration and infeed automation.

What type of shrink film is used for frozen pizza and frozen food overwrapping?

Frozen foods typically use high-clarity polyolefin shrink films formulated to withstand sub-zero temperatures without becoming brittle, cracking, or losing tension. Texwrap’s precise servo tension controls ensure thin-gauge films shrink tightly around frozen products while maintaining exact print registration for branded graphics.
