Bag types

This model is known for producing block bottom bags, and can often be configured for pillow bags or gusseted bags.

Bag weight range

For packaging 1kg bags, this machine is well-suited, with typical ranges for similar models spanning from 250g to 5kg.

Footprint

A Fawema FA 10K, including associated weighing scales, typically requires a floor space of approximately 2m x 2m to 3m x 3m.

Integration

These machines are commonly integrated with multi-head weighers, auger fillers, or volumetric cup fillers, as seen with the included Hastamat scales.

• What kind of film material can this machine use?

  Form Fill & Seal machines like the FA 10K typically work with heat-sealable roll stock film, including laminates such as BOPP, PET, and paper-based films with a heat-sealable layer.

• Is it difficult to change bag sizes or product types?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used FFS machine?

• Can this machine be used for products other than coffee beans?

• What spare parts are commonly needed for a machine of this age?

Form-fill-seal machines hold strong reputations in food packaging for reliability and consistent output. Buyers typically prioritise machines with clear maintenance histories and verified production specifications. Key strengths include versatility across film types and product formats, alongside relatively straightforward operation. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine seal quality consistency, film tracking accuracy, and the condition of heating elements. Machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence. Downtime for repairs is a common concern, so availability of spare parts and technical support merits careful consideration before acquisition.
