A New Technology is Born This technology package offers you Downgauging High quality printing Fast filling High mechanical properties Clean packaging environment Improved product packaging performance: barrier to moisture, aromas, vermin infestation Hermetic bag purposes The woven*fss technology is suitable for sugar, rice, fertilizers, chemicals, pet food and numerous other end applications. For the very first time, this new concept combines woven fabric with FFS packaging line technology (see picture below), offering an innovative solution to the industry. Traditionally, woven plastic bags stand for toughness, impact, and tear resistance, and are used in the fertilizer, building and food/pet food industry. The latest innovation by Dow, Haver & Boecker and Starlinger now makes it possible to apply an ELITE resin coating from Dow, to the woven fabric, rendering it sealable. This technology can therefore be used on the cost effective Form, Fill and Seal packaging lines in replacement of incumbent paper bags, polyethylene (PE) film bags or even stitched bags. The state of the art bags can provide a high toughness packaging solution with lower weight. Depending on the specific application, it has shown a weight reduction of up to 50% compared to incumbent solutions. It also allows for excellent printing and ease of recycling.

Our goal is to generate the maximum benefit for our customers. Haver FFS The technology Knowing the difficulties of loose material handling, the combination of FFS technology and woven fabric has been based on a blend of well proven packaging equipment and innovative solutions in bag sealing. The FFS process with its fully automated packaging system is a combination of weighing and filling. It provides clear advantages in respect of accuracy and filling capacity to the customer. The system allows to work with different bag materials as regular PE film and fabric. In addition it can handle a wide range of bag formats and sizes. The easy changeover of film wheels offers maximum productivity. Woven fabric as a packaging material increases the strength of the bag. The bag handling due to the nice square shaped filled bag design results in an easier and more accurate manual and automatic bag handling. The improved bag durability allows for an extended logistic chain with less waste material and bag breakage.
