DUNCAN, S.C. — April 10, 2025 — BW Flexible Systems, a global leader in
flexible packaging solutions, has announced enhancements to its Hayssen R300
flow wrapper, which originally launched one year ago at PACK EXPO
East. Now, the solution will come standard with BW Packaging's award-winning
OpView™ human-machine interface (HMI), offering significant improvements to
user training and operation, as well as providing baked goods producers with
the flexibility necessary to adapt their equipment with their ever-evolving
production needs.
“We’re proud to hear all the positive feedback since the release
of the Hayssen R300 last year,” said Brantley Turner, Director of Product
Management at BW Flexible Systems. “Its user-friendly design has allowed our
customers to quickly and easily automate the packaging of their baked goods.
And with the addition of OpView as the standard HMI for this product moving
forward, we expect things to get even easier.”
OpView, which debuted at PACK EXPO International in
November, empowers bakeries to overcome some of their greatest operational
challenges through simplified operation and troubleshooting, streamlined
operator training and superior flexibility for future innovation. In 2024, the
HMI was recognized for design excellence with its smart user interface (UI),
earning two iF Design Awards in the prestigious global
design competition that evaluates design excellence across many industries.
“What’s special about OpView is that regardless of an operator’s
experience level, they can use its smartphone-like interface to easily set up,
operate and troubleshoot the R300,” said Joe Ambrose, Director of Digital
Innovation at BW Packaging. “It’s a highly valuable solution for operations
where scarcity of experienced operators is an issue, which makes it a great fit
for small and medium sized bakeries.”
In addition to its HMI, the Hayssen R300 includes several features
that optimize production. Automated adjustments and easy changeovers help
maximize uptime and ensure smooth operation. The ultra-low roll height
increases operator accessibility, making it easier for operators to load film
rolls. Clear guards and an open design provide better visibility into the long
seam unit for safe and timely troubleshooting. Furthermore, the adjustable
folding box can suit a wide range of SKUs, making the R300 a versatile solution
for growing businesses.
