Tubular Form Fill Seal Series Bagging Machine
The Tubular Form, Fill, and Seal (FFS) bagging machine family has been designed to be reliable, simple, and cost effective, while offering many customization options. Tubular FFS bagging offers advantages over premade bagging such as increased production speed, reduced per-bag cost, and increased flexibility in finished bag size. One Tubular FFS machine may produce several different bag sizes.
The entire Tubular FFS family of machines can accommodate a wide array of tubular film, producing pillow shaped or gusseted bags from as small as 20 pounds to as large as 110 pounds. Film may be pre-gusseted, or a gusset may be created in-line directly on the machine. This greatly reduces film shipping costs and halves film changeovers.
Tubular FFS is an ideal packaging solution for many different industries including petrochemical and plastic resins, agricultural, chemical, biomass, industrial manufacturing, pet food and livestock feed, and lawn and garden. Products that may be packaged by these machines include resin pellets, wood pellets, salt, fertilizer, rocks and stone, chemicals, powders, spices and powders, dried foods, cement and slurries, and granular products.
