Ffs Bagging Machine / Ffs Automatic Packing Machine¹

Product Description FFS BAGGERGeneral Introduction:FFS (Form Fill Seal) bagger is an advanced packing system widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and consumer goods industries to automate the packing process. This machine streamlines operations by forming a package from a flat roll of tubular film, filling it with the desired product and sealing it, all in one continuous process. This machine typically consists of several key components including a film unwinder, a forming station that shapes the film into a bag, a filling mechanism that dispenses the product into the formed package and a sealing unit that securely closes the package to maintain freshness and prevent contamination. These devices can handle various types of products including powders, granules and solids, making them versatile for different applications. Additionally, modern FFS machines are equipped with advanced technology such as sensors and programmable logic controllers (PLC), enabling precise control over the filling and sealing processes.Working Process:Film feeding: The FFS machine starts with a roll of packaging tubular film which is unwound and fed through the machine.Forming: The packaging film is then formed into the desired package shape, such as a pouch or sachet, using a forming collar and a set of forming jaws. The formed package is then held open by the jaws.Filling: The pharmaceutical product is dispensed into the formed package using a filling mechanism such as a volumetric filler, a dosing pump, or a weighing scale.Sealing: Once the package is filled, the sealing process begins. The sealing jaws of the FFS machine come together and apply heat or pressure to the top and bottom of the package, sealing it shut.Cutting: The sealed package is then cut from the film roll using a cutting machine such as a rotary knife or a guillotine.Discharge: The completed package is discharged from the FFS machine for further processing, such as labeling, palletizing, or wrapping.Product Feature:Increased Efficiency: FFS machines automate the packing process, significantly reducing the time required for packing products compared to manual methods. Cost Reduction: By minimizing labor costs and reducing material waste, these tools contribute to overall cost savings in production. Consistent Quality: The automated process ensures uniform packaging, leading to consistent quality in the final product.Versatility: These machines can handle a wide range of products including powders, granules and solids. This versatility makes them suitable for various industries, adapting to different packing needs effortlessly.Enhanced Product Freshness: The sealing capabilities of these machines help maintain product freshness and prolonged shelf life. By minimizing exposure to air and contaminants, they ensure that products remain in optimum condition until they reach the consumer.Reduced Material Waste: The precision of FFS machines leads to suitable use of packing materials which reduces waste. Lower material consumption not only cuts costs but also supports sustainability efforts.Easy Integration: These devices can be easily integrated into existing production lines. This flexibility provides a smooth transition to automated packing solutions without major disruptions to ongoing operations.Specifications:Bag type:Bags made from tubular film with or without gussetsBag material:Heat sealable Polyethylene (PE)Bag length:600 - 1000 mmRoll width A:360 - 500 mmGusset depth B:50 - 90 mmSpace between gussets C:310 - 280 - 210 mmFilm thickness:120 - 250 μmRoll diameter:Max. 1500 mmCore diameter:150 mmBag closure:Heat Sealing (Impulse) FAQ:1. What you have consider before your contemplation of FFS?Will your customers accept plastic bags?Are plastic bags tough enough?Do any regulations prohibit the use of plastic bags?Speed - is bagging rate above 200 bags/hourCan you run one bag size and weight continuously for a minimum of 2 hoursAre your products: fine, aerated, low density, if so FFS may be expensive especially if you pack 3 x 25kg bags/minute2.What are the advantages of FFS?Bags made on FFS are less expensive than pre-made bags = "pay back"Lower capital cost than fully auto machine when packing rate above 500 bags/hTotal automation - usually unattended, labor saving provides = "pay-back"Consistent packing rateCompact (especially the Vertical FFS)Fast - increased production rate, reduced no. of shifts = "pay back"Easy and quick to clean-out between production batchesFewer moving parts - especially Vertical FFS'Online' film printing provides readable bar code and product info3. What are the disadvantages of FFS?Not economical for short production runs of one bag size - below 1000 x 25 Kg bags = 25 tonsCannot handle paperCannot handle multi-ply packing materialsNot economical for packing low density, aerated powders such as wheat flour, talcum powder, skimmed and whey powder at medium speedsCannot remove 'trapped air' very quickly or easilyShape of package made by Vertical FFS  or 'C' type FFS not as good as valve sackCannot self-adjust for different widths of bag (but changing length is very easy on Horizontal and Vertical FFS machines)Usually, the pallet wrapper uses stretch film, but they can also employ pre-stretched film or other new consumables on the market, such as kraft paper with stretching capabilities.
