Granules are free-flowing bulk materials: sugar, salt, rice, grains, granular animal feed, snack granules, and fertilizer pellets. For these products, the vertical form, fill, and seal machine is the standard platform: up to 80 bags per minute with \u00b11% dosing accuracy, depending on the product and film.<\/p>\n

The Structure of the Line<\/h2>\n

The basis is the vertical form, fill, and seal machine<\/a>: film roll, forming shoulder, bottom and top seals. Above the machine, a multi-head weigher<\/a> accurately fill the bag to the specified product weight. For fine granules that are dusty or sticky, a screw feeder is the alternative.<\/p>\n

Step-by-Step Guide to the Selection Process<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Test the product: flow, particle size, dust formation, susceptibility to breakage.<\/li>\n
  2. Set the dosing range, from the smallest to the largest bag weight.<\/li>\n
  3. Select the bag size and type: pillow bag, stand-up bag, or block-bottom bag.<\/li>\n
  4. Record output in bags per minute, not in hourly rates on paper.<\/li>\n
  5. Select the film based on its single-material composition and barrier requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Plastic Film and Sustainability<\/h2>\n

    Granules require a dust-tight seal; a 50- to 80-\u00b5m PE monolaminate is sufficient for this purpose, as it is recyclable as a single material. When requesting quotes, ask for the film consumption per 1,000 bags\u2014this difference between machines will persist as long as the line is running.<\/p>\n
