Ffs Bags
I have much experience filling 25kg bags of plastic pellets from Windmoller & Hoelscher Diamont FFS.
You need to start with something - suggest pallet size.
Then decide bag pattern & rough bag size to fit that pallet.
Will tell you what width of FFS film roll you need - maybe you are there already.
Operator needs to adjust actual bag lenth on the machine as bulk density varies - easy to do, but people need to be aware they must do it.
Obviously pallet load will be looser or tighter as bag length changes. ■
Re: Form Fill And Seal Bags
I. Temple,
My company is also using W&H Diamant FFS. Do you use the Libraweigher from Librawerks for your weighing system?
Regards. ■
Packaging - Form Fill & Seal Bags
No we do not use the Libraweigher
- we have Paxall inline double bucket dumping scale above the
machine - one bucket filling & weighing,while the other is
dumping, & a Toledo Scale "legal for trade" checkweigher
(looks like a short belt conveyor) in the bag conveying system
after.
The checkweigher controls an underweight bag kick-off system to recycle underwewight bags for refilling. ■
Proper Bag Size
Just contact Haver & Boecker in Oelde/Germany. They operate a laboratory to investigate into the material properties to determine the apprpriate bag dimensions. (ph.: +49 2522 30-0) .

Form fill and seal bags
we have just converted to form, fill and seal pp bags for our product line , we need help sizing the bags , thicker versus longer , narrower so they fit on a pallet . Where would I go to learn how the bags are sized . bag supplier and bagging eqpt suppliers not very helpful . We have a product line that varies in bulk density and we are tring to adapt the new eqpt to exisiting palletizing eqpt . thanks ■
