AUTOMATIC PACKING

FFS Packing

FFS (Form-Fill-Seal) Packing Machine is a highly automated and versatile packaging system designed to streamline the process of bagging a wide variety of products. As the name implies, the machine combines three core packaging functions into one continuous and efficient operation: Forming the bag from a flat roll of film, Filling it with the product, and Sealing it for dispatch. This integrated technology is the industry standard for industries requiring high-speed, reliable, and hygienic packaging, effectively replacing manual or semi-automatic lines to boost productivity and reduce labor costs.

Detail

Features:

  • Increased Efficiency: Fully automates the packing process, significantly reducing time compared to manual methods.
  • Cost Reduction: Lowers labor costs and minimizes material waste, contributing to overall production savings.
  • Consistent Quality: Ensures uniform packaging through automation, delivering reliable and consistent product quality.
  • Versatility: Handles a wide variety of products—including powders, granules, and solids—making it adaptable across different industries.
  • Enhanced Product Freshness: Provides strong sealing that minimizes exposure to air and contaminants, helping to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.
  • Reduced Material Waste: Precision engineering ensures optimal use of packaging materials, reducing waste and supporting sustainability.
  • Easy Integration: Designed for seamless integration into existing production lines without causing major operational disruptions


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.

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/hour
  • Can you run one bag size and weight continuously for a minimum of 2 hours
  • Are your products: fine, aerated, low density, if so FFS may be expensive especially if you pack 3 x 25kg bags/minute


2.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/h
  • Total automation - usually unattended, labor saving provides = “pay-back”
  • Consistent packing rate
  • Compact (especially the Vertical FFS)
  • Fast - increased production rate, reduced no. of shifts = “pay back”
  • Easy and quick to clean-out between production batches
  • Fewer moving parts - especially Vertical FFS
  • 'Online’ film printing provides readable bar code and product info


3. What are the disadvantages of FFS?

  • Not economical for short production runs of one bag size - below 1000 x 25 Kg bags = 25 tons
  • Cannot handle paper
  • Cannot handle multi-ply packing materials
  • Not economical for packing low density, aerated powders such as wheat flour, talcum powder, skimmed and whey powder at medium speeds
  • Cannot remove ‘trapped air’ very quickly or easily
  • Shape of package made by Vertical FFS or ‘C’ type FFS not as good as valve sack
  • Cannot 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.
