Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Units in this class commonly operate at speeds ranging from 60 to 120 bags per minute, depending on the specific model and bag size.

Power supply

Most industrial bag closing machines typically require a standard three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with some smaller units potentially operating on single-phase.

Closure type

This type of machine typically applies a Kwik Lok closure, which is a plastic tag with a pre-cut slot.

Bag material suitability

Generally suitable for use with various flexible bag materials, including polyethylene, polypropylene, and laminated films.

Control interface

Modern units often feature an HMI (Human Machine Interface) for operational control and settings adjustment.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint can vary, but units are typically designed to integrate into existing packaging lines, requiring moderate floor space.
