Tubular Form, Fill, Seal Bagging Machines
The Tubular Form, Fill, and Seal (FFS) bagging machine family is designed to be reliable, cost effective, and completely customizable. These machines offer unmatched versatility, producing pillow-shaped or gusseted bags from 5 - 110 lbs.
FFS machines offer several advantages over machines that use pre-made bags:
-
Increased production speed
-
Reduced cost per bag
-
Increased flexibility in finished bag size
-
Custom configurations to suit any product
-
In-line gusseting for longer film yield
Each machine comes complete with the most appropriate feeding and dosing system for each unique product and industry. To provide the best solution for each application, additional features may be incorporated into the machine, including in-line gusset formation, mobile machine platform, corner sealers (K-Seal), and more.
Tubular FFS machines are an ideal packaging solution for many different industries including chemical, agricultural, biomass, industrial manufacturing, pet food, livestock feed, lawn & garden and more. Products that may be packaged by these machines include resin pellets, wood pellets, salt, fertilizer, rocks, chemicals, powders, dried foods, cement, and granular products.
