Many manufacturing companies prefer shipping bulk orders through the traditional packaging material. However, the benefits of FIBC bags are less known and not widely used. That said, the most common uses for FIBC bags are in companies in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, fertilizer, and chemical industries.
Some B2B buyers cannot make use of bulk trucks as they require a smaller amount of material. For instance, a farmer requires only 2,500 lbs of seeds or fertilizer. He would not accept or receive a truckload of fertilizer. Therefore, bulk bags are the perfect and more practical option for him.
FIBC bags are also an affordable option for under-developed countries to carry out transportation in shipping containers. Here, bulk bags would be the ideal choice to import and export or give and receive products. These bags can withstand primitive infrastructure like dirt roads and poor equipment.
Advantages of FIBC Bag-Making Machines
If you are manufacturing products in large amounts, you will require machines to create bags for storage and transportation. There are several benefits associated with using in-house FIBC bag-making machines.
- Reduced cost of storage and transportation – FIBC machines help to reduce the cost of storage and transportation for your company. With the in-house capacity to utilize FIBC bag-making machines, the cost of outsourcing storage facilities and transportation amenities reduces significantly.
- Automated processes – FIBC fabric-cutting machines can take over the manual operations of cloth measuring, cutting, drawing, and so on. The machines provide the advantage of high-speed accuracy cutting, automatic cloth turning, cloth coding, etc. It eliminates the need for manual cloth receiving, labour saving and intensity of labour. Your workers at the manufacturing unit can focus on far more crucial operations.
- Direct input of parameter settings – With FIBC bag-making machines, you can input the settings directly and the machine will produce bags accordingly. For instance, the fixed length is controlled by the operator and parameter settings are directly fixed through the man-machine interface. The PLC or industrial computer controls and manages the operation. Belt-pressing rollers are controlled by separate solenoid valves and cylinders. This allows for adjustable pressure, simple operation, accurate cutting, less wastage of sling heads, and high precision of production.
- Highly durable – The FIBC bags are highly durable as they are manufactured and made to undergo durability testing. The testing rig machine is fitted with four cameras, a digital dashboard, and a sensor system to measure the strength of the fabric. The bags are loaded onto metal hooks and high degrees of pressure load are applied to each bag to test the strength.
- Clean and secure bags – The FIBC bags are clean and safe to use for various products in bulk. You can rest assured that your products will not get contaminated because of the bulk bags’ clean and secure capacity. At Armstrong, we also have a bag-cleaning machine that is integrated with pre-filtered air technology and an automated cleaning process.
- Strong and easy lifting ability - FIBC bags have strong handles for a reason. They are designed to carry bulk products and items. Therefore, their handles have to be strong, unlike regular lightweight bags. This is where the Strapex Handle-Wrapping Machine is needed to make the FIBC bag handles strong for lifting and easy transport
- processes.
There are various FIBC bag-making machines that you can utilise to enhance operations at your manufacturing unit. At Armstrong, we deliver excellent and high-quality machines for purposes ranging from cutting to rolling, bale processes, baffle punch, belt-cutting, and so on.
