Description

What Are FFS Bags and Films?

The FFS (Form Fill Seal) Bags and Films are specially manufactured high-durability plastic films in continuous rolls, used to fully automate the industrial packaging line. The revolutionary concept behind Form Fill Seal technology is that it is a single motion that is automated: The machinery pulls the tubular or flat film roll, forms it into the desired shape of a bag, charges the exact amount of payload and immediately applies an airtight heat-seal.

The films are typically manufactured from multi-layer co-extruded polyethylene (PE) or high-tech polymer blends of polyolefins and are extremely tough, flexible and pliable. They have outstanding performance in commercial pneumatic filling systems with heavy loads, and withstand physical load, moisture and are puncture-proof.

Available FFS Bags and Films Types

Tubular FFS Film Rolls

Available in seamless polymer "socks" and tubes that have side gussets pre-folded perfect to use for automated vertical lines in which the machine is only required to seal and cut the bottom and top edges.

Flat Roll-Form FFS Films

Single-layer flat plastic sheets made to be wrapped around horizontally and vertical shoulders, forming shoulders and molding the film into back-seams or pillow pouches that move dynamically.

Gusseted FFS Bag Formats

The gussets on the sides are deep and expand when filled to form blocks that are rigid, allowing full industrial bags to be placed perfectly on pallets and not falling over.

UV Stabilized FFS Films

Mixed with specific light-blocking compounds and top stabilizers to stop the plastic from becoming brittle or cracking in distribution yards that are open to the air.

Food-Grade Certified FFS Roll Stocks

Made with 100% polyethylene resins that are made in cleanrooms that meet strict hygiene requirements for packaging sugar salt, grains and flour.

Structural Sizing & Material Options

Singhal Industries Private Limited provides an extensive range of dimensional flexibility that can be matched to the vertical and horizontal forms of machinery:

• Light-Gauge Retail Film Reels 70 to 100 micron flexible sheets made to automate the packaging of grains for retail as well as salt and snack foods for consumers.
• Regular Commercial Gusset rolls: 120-150 micron multi-layer tubes that are optimized for 20 to 25 kg of animal feed and seeds for crops packaging.
• Industrial Film Stocks for Heavy-Duty: 160-200 micron thick sheets made to withstand 50kg bulk payloads of aggregates and cement.
• Anti-Static Films Specialized for Static: Made with active static dissipating components to help package explosive chemical powders and electrical parts in a safe manner.

FFS Bags and Films Manufacturing Process

Premium grade form fill seal rolls are produced at Singhal Industries Private Limited under stringent automatic controls utilizing highly advanced co-extrusion blown film machines.

• Step 1: Raw Compounding Selection: Virgin polyethylene pellets, color pigments, slip and UV stabilizers are compounded with precision.
• Step 2:  Multi-Layer Co-Extrusion: The mixture is melted under pressure and extruded via an advanced multi-layer circular die to produce a vertical plastic film column.
• Step 3: Bubble Cooling and Alignment: The fast-moving vertical air rings cool down the bubble column uniformly for micron-level thickness throughout the sheet layout.
• Step 4: Surface Treatment and Printing: The film runs through an electrical corona system to adjust the surface tension prior to running through 10-color flexographic machines for printing.
• Step 5:  Mechanical Side Guesting: The special folders make deep and even gussets on the tube wall to maintain stability of the stack.
• Step 6: Tension Testing and Master Rewinding: The rolls are tension rewound rapidly on controlled cores following tough testing in the lab for drop resistance, tear resistance, and puncture resistance.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: For what applications are FFS Bags and Films intended?

FFS bags and films are specialized plastics roll stocks intended for automated packing machines that form a bag, fill it with product (for example cement, fertilizers, chemicals, or grains), and seal in one operation.

Q2: Could FFS bags and films carry bulk products?

Yes. We have a range of multi-layer FFS packaging specifically designed to withstand very strong sealing properties and have great puncture resistance to accommodate bulk capacity from 5 kg up to 50 kg.

Q3: Are your Form Fill Seal films fully resistant to any chemical?

Yes. Our co-extruded polyethylene films are inert materials which means that they do not degrade in contact with aggressive agricultural nutrients, acids and alkalis, corrosive chemicals.

Q4: Is it possible to print corporate logos or bar codes on your rolls?

Yes, indeed. The printing machines at our manufacturing plants can print your corporate logo, safety instructions and barcodes using a high-speed flexographic machine in up to 10 colors.

Q5: Are FFS Pouches and Films water-proof?

Yes. With proper sealing using automatic jaws, the FFS Packaging offers a total hermetic moisture barrier to protect fine powders and granules against moisture and rainfall.

Q6: What is the key difference between FFS Roll Stocks and Pre Made Pouches?

The FFS films come in continuous roll stock format which automatically forms, fills and seals in a single packaging machine whereas pre-made pouches come with separate packaging lines either automated or manual.

Q7: Can we have custom sizes, widths, and thickness scales?

Yes. We provide total B2B customization of film width, gusseting depth and thickness ranging from 70 to 200 microns.

Q8: Can you recycle your FFS roll stocks?

Yes, as our form fill seal packaging products are made from pure polyethylene polyolefins, therefore they are 100% recyclable.

Q9: Which Industries Employ FFS Bags & Films?

Industries such as automation packaging of chemicals, fertilizer facilities, building construction materials, agricultural seeds dispensing, and large-scale food processing industries have extensively employed the FFS films.

Q10: How Do I Choose the Appropriate Film Thickness for My Automation Equipment?

The correct micron thickness usually depends on the material density, loading capacity, packaging speed and environmental conditions of the film travel.

Q11: Will High Humidity Result in Sticking of Rolls During Warehouse Storage?

No. We engineered our newest films with improved anti-blocking and slick surface matrix features, so the roll unspools smoothly and does not adhere under any circumstances.

Q12: Can Recycled Material Blends Be Used to Package Retail Food Grains?

No. Pure polyethylene resins are used for our bags in the case of retail foods, sugar, and flour. Reprocessed blends can be used in the case of aggregates, minerals, and construction waste.

Q13: Can the roll-form films survive the outside exposure period?

Our roll-form films used for outside exposure have light inhibitors and stabilizers that prevent the film from cracking due to sunlight.

Q14: What is the advantage of light materials of FFS packages in logistics costs?

Thanks to the unique density structure, the films are strong and light without extra weight and therefore will reduce your transportation costs.

Q15: How can our international purchasing organization get a confirmed factory export quote?

Purchasing managers can provide us with their specifications, mechanical specifications, micron thicknesses and destination ports and we can calculate the price and time of manufacturing at the factory.
