Bags and extras

In this option for filling and packing of rice, the package is formed by a thermo-sealable film in the form of a roll. Depending on the desired level of automation, the packaging installation can be configured in various ways and could consist of the following composite modules:
- Vertical packaging machine (VFFS)
- Dosing device
- Conveyor
- Printing device
- Transport belt for the ready package
- Metal detector
- Check weigher

Note: The configuration to the right is just an example, as the client can purchase only the modules he requires.

Dosing device:
Measures out a product from bulk by some preset value and sends the ready dosage to the packaging machine (p.1).

Packaging machine:
Forms, fills and seals elastic packages. For packaging material is used thermo sealable film in the form of a roll, which by passing through the different processes of folding, sealing, filling and cutting, forms the ready bag.

Printing device:
Prints a date, lot and batch numbers, barcode and other obligatory information on the blank field of the package.

Feeding conveyor:
Transports the product to the dosing device's hopper (p.2) and maintains a constant level of the product.

Output transport belt:
Protects the warm seals of the package from damage when falling on the ground and transports the ready package to the stacking table.

Main function of the packaging machine: forming, filling and sealing of plastic bags. The working method of those machines can be found here

Depending on the size of the package and the desired capacity, the customer can choose between the following models of vertical packaging machines, appropriate for working with rice:

Depending on the desired level of automation, the customer can equip his packaging installation with the following additional machines and devices:

Printing device Printing date, LOT or batch number, barcode and every other obligatory information on the blank field of the package.	Output transport belt Protects the warm seals of the package from damage, when falling on the ground. It transports the package to the table for stacking.	Rotary table It collects and distributes the ready packages. Prevents the stacking of packages and protects their good appearance.
Checks weigher Recheck the ready packages, which come from the packaging machine and puts aside those that do not meet the set target weight.	Metal detector Scans and inspects for the presence of metal particles inside the ready packages and puts aside the faulty production.	Additional bag-forming system Allows for working with films with different size. The devices are produced according to the customer's requirements.

Depending on the desired bag type, the vertical packaging machine is equipped with different types of formers. The bags that could be formed by this type of machines and the different extras are the following:
