- For this class of equipment, speeds commonly range from 80 to 150 bags per minute, depending on product and bag specifications.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate current ratings.
- Footprint
- Form-fill-seal machines, especially those with enveloping capabilities, typically require a significant operational footprint, often several square metres.
- Bag material compatibility
- These machines are generally designed for heat-sealable filter paper or non-woven materials suitable for tea bags.
- Envelope material compatibility
- The enveloping function commonly uses heat-sealable paper or film laminates.
- Product feed system
- Typically features an integrated dosing system suitable for granular or free-flowing dry products.
