The Admiral 650 is an automatic side sealer POF shrink wrapping machine — the side-sealing version of Edda’s Supra range. Because its side seal runs along the full length of the product instead of a fixed L-shaped frame, it wraps items of unlimited length in clear POF film for a tight, retail-ready finish. The Admiral line covers sealing jaw lengths from 500 to 950 mm. Built in Bursa by Edda, Türkiye’s first manufacturer of horizontal stretch wrapping machines.
What the Admiral 650 wraps
- Long profiles, panels, trims and mouldings
- Boxed consumer goods, household and industrial products
- Multi-packs of bottles, cartons and cans
- Any flat or regularly-shaped product of unlimited length
How it works
Products travel on the infeed conveyor into centre-folded POF film. The side sealer closes the open long edge of the film along the product, and a cross-seal jaw seals and cuts the front and rear of each pack. Since the side seal is not limited by a fixed frame, product length is unlimited. The sealed pack then moves through the shrink tunnel, where heat shrinks the film tight against the product. Capacity on the 650 size is up to 45 pkg/min (max.), depending on product dimensions.

Applications in detail
The Admiral 650 is an automatic side sealer POF shrink wrapping machine with a 650 mm sealing jaw and an output of up to 45 packs per minute (max.). Because its long seal runs along the product, it wraps items of any length in clear film – from short boxes to long profiles and panels.
Long products
Profiles, panels, trims and mouldings of any length are shrink wrapped in clear film, because the side seal follows the product instead of a fixed frame.
Boxed consumer goods
Boxed household, industrial and consumer products get a tight, transparent, tamper-evident pack that protects the printed box.
Multipacks and bundles
Light multipacks of bottles, cartons and cans can be bundled in POF film; for heavy multipacks, PE shrink film is the better choice – see our PE shrink page.
Books and printed matter
Books, catalogues and sets are wrapped at high output. See our printed matter and retail page.
How the Admiral 650 works
On the Admiral, products travel on the infeed conveyor into centre-folded POF film. A side-sealing unit closes the open long edge of the film along the product, while a cross-seal jaw makes the front and rear seals and separates one pack from the next. Because the long seal is made continuously along the product rather than inside a fixed L-shaped frame, product length is unlimited.
The sealed pack then passes through the shrink tunnel, where hot air shrinks the film evenly around the product. Sealing, cutting and transfer are automatic, so the operator only feeds products and changes film rolls.
Choosing the right model
The Admiral series covers sealing jaws from 500 to 950 mm; larger jaws take wider products but run at lower maximum output. Choose the Admiral 650 for your widest product, and look at the Alfa series if you need higher output with the same unlimited product length.
| Model | Type | Sealing jaw | Max. film width | Capacity (max.) | Motor / total power | Machine size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Admiral 500 | Automatic side sealer | 500 mm | 600 mm | 60 packs/min | 4 / 14 kW | 3700 × 1500 × 1400 (h) mm |
| Admiral 650 | Automatic side sealer | 650 mm | 750 mm | 45 packs/min | 4 / 17 kW | 4000 × 1680 × 1400 (h) mm |
| Admiral 850 | Automatic side sealer | 850 mm | 950 mm | 30 packs/min | 4 / 17 kW | 4400 × 1850 × 1400 (h) mm |
| Admiral 950 | Automatic side sealer | 950 mm | 1100 mm | 20 packs/min | 4 / 20 kW | 4800 × 2050 × 1400 (h) mm |
| Alfa 500 | Continuous side sealer | 470 mm | 600 mm | 100 packs/min | 5 / 15 kW | 4500 × 1500 × 1400 (h) mm |
| Alfa 650 | Continuous side sealer | 650 mm | 750 mm | 60 packs/min | 5 / 18 kW | 4500 × 1680 × 1400 (h) mm |
All models wrap products up to 150 mm high; capacity depends on product dimensions. For the whole range, see our POF shrink wrapping machines.
Shrink film for the Admiral 650
The Admiral 650 takes centre-folded POF shrink film up to 750 mm wide, in 10–30 micron.
POF (polyolefin) film is clear, glossy and strong for its thickness, and it stays flexible in the cold, which makes it the usual choice for retail products and food. This machine is designed for POF film.
Film is supplied centre-folded, and the roll width should cover the product width plus its height with some margin for the seals. Our team can recommend film width and thickness for your products.
Installation and integration
The Admiral 650 measures 4000 × 1680 × 1400 (h) mm (as listed in the catalogue, W × L × H). It runs on 380 V three-phase power, 50/60 Hz, with a main motor of 4 kW and a total installed power of 17 kW including the heat tunnel; 208, 415 and 480 V versions are available.
Products can be fed by hand or from an existing conveyor, and finished packs can go to boxing, labelling or palletising. Ask us about infeed conveyors and pack collection for your line.
What to check before ordering
- Product size: height (up to 150 mm on all POF models), width and length.
- Output: packs per minute now and in the coming years.
- Product length: fixed sizes suit an L-bar machine; long or varying lengths suit a side sealer.
- Film: POF only, or POF and PVC.
- Infeed: manual loading or connection to a printing, filling or production line.
- Power and space: single-phase or three-phase, and the floor area available.
Operation, maintenance and service
Operators load the film roll, set the sealing and tunnel parameters for each product and keep the infeed clear. Routine care includes cleaning the sealing jaws and conveyor, checking seal quality and following the maintenance intervals in the operating manual.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum film width on the Admiral 650?
750 mm, on rolls with a Ø 30 mm core.
What product length can the Admiral series wrap?
There is no upper limit on product length — the side seal runs along the product, so only height and width are constrained by the machine size chosen.
What is the maximum output of the Admiral 650?
Up to 45 pkg/min (max.), depending on product dimensions.
What is the difference between the Admiral and Supra series?
They share the same automatic concept. The Supra seals with a fixed L-shaped bar, which limits product length; the Admiral uses a side sealer, so it can wrap products of any length.
What output can the Admiral 650 reach?
Up to 45 packs per minute (max.), depending on product dimensions and film.
Which film thickness should I use on the Admiral 650?
POF film in 10–30 micron is recommended. Thinner film is enough for light products; thicker film gives more strength for heavier packs.
What power supply does the Admiral 650 need?
380 V three-phase, with a main motor of 4 kW and 17 kW total including the heat tunnel.
Is there a limit on product length?
No. The side seal runs along the product, so product length is unlimited; the maximum product height is 150 mm.
Can it be connected to my line?
Yes. Products can be fed from an existing conveyor, and finished packs can go on to boxing, labelling or palletising.
