With ever-growing competitiveness in the global market, efficiency and effectiveness have become terms synonymous with competitive survival. When it comes to bagging products, Form-Fill-Seal technology offers one time and cost efficient solution.
The automated technology forms plastic bags out of flat rolls of co-extruded polyethylene (PE) films, simultaneously filling and sealing the bag compactly. Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) films, printed or clear, are designed to run on both vertical and horizontal FFS machinery.
What Can You Pack with Form-Fill-Seal Technology?
Form-Fill-Seal automated packaging technology commonly packs petrochemical, food, and industrial products into co-extruded polyethylene (PE) bags. FFS bags can be used to pack both liquids and solids in powder, granular and flake form, such as:
· Building materials
· Chemicals
· Petrochemicals, including polymers, compounds, masterbatches and polymer additives
· Fertilizers
· Solid food products, such as sugar, salt, rusk, bread crumbs, breeder pellets, and pet food
What Benefits Do Form-Fill-Seal Films & Bags Offer?
Cost-Effectiveness
FFS bags are made to cope with high production outputs requesting high filling capacities that could reach 2000 bags per hour.
Lead Time & Inventory
FFS bagging lines offer high and consistent packing speed, thus increasing production rate, shortening lead-times of filling processes and reducing inventory costs.
Fully-Automated Packaging
FFS bagging lines automatically form, fill, and seal bags, with very low manpower supervision, thus saving labor.
Heavy-Duty Packaging
FFS bags can contain up to 25kg of material. They offer drop and puncture-resistance to prevent material spillage.
Open-ability
FFS bags have low inner friction for easy flow inside the sack.
Stackability
FFS bags have high outer layer friction for best pallet stackability and performance.
