Chemical fertilizers demand packaging that’s tough, smart, and sustainable. Paper Valve Woven Bags have become the industry’s go-to solution, offering a unique blend of moisture resistance, structural integrity, and cost efficiency. At VidePak, we’ve spent 17 years perfecting these bags through relentless innovation, making them the preferred choice for fertilizer manufacturers worldwide. Let’s dive into what makes our Paper Valve Woven Bags different—and why they’re transforming chemical packaging.
The Anatomy of a Fertilizer-Ready Bag
Our Paper Valve Woven Bags feature a triple-layer construction engineered for chemical resistance:
1. Outer Layer: Reinforced Kraft Paper
- Grade: 80-120 gsm virgin kraft paper (FSC-certified).
- Coating: 15-30 micron PE laminate for moisture barrier.
- Benefit: Withstands 95% relative humidity without degradation.
2. Middle Layer: Woven PP Fabric
- Denier: 800-1,500D (higher denier = greater tear resistance).
- Weave: 10×10 to 14×14 threads/inch (ASTM D3776-20).
- Benefit: Survives 2.0 bar pressure during filling (TÜV SÜD certified).
3. Inner Layer: PE Film
- Thickness: 30-50 microns (food-grade option available).
- Additives: UV stabilizers for 12-month outdoor storage.
- Benefit: Prevents caking in hygroscopic fertilizers.
Technical Specifications: Where Precision Meets Performance
Our bags adhere to global standards while offering customizable parameters:
Specification | Range | Compliance Standard |
---|---|---|
Basis Weight | 120-250 g/m² | ISO 22776-1:2008 |
Tensile Strength | 200-300 N/5cm (MD/TD) | ASTM D882-18 |
Valve Type | Open-mouth or spouted | ISO 21898:2020 |
Safe Working Load | 25-50 kg | EUMOS 40780:2021 |
Key Parameter Deep Dive
1. Valve Design
- Spouted Valves: Reduce filling times by 40% (vs. open-mouth bags).
- Seal Integrity: Withstands 2.0 bar pressure (TÜV SÜD certification).
2. Moisture Resistance
- PE Laminate: Limits water vapor transmission to <15 g/m²/day (ASTM F1249-21).
- Case Study: A Brazilian fertilizer producer reduced caking by 63% using our PE-laminated bags.
3. Print Quality
- Flexo Printing: 1-6 colors with 98% opacity (ISO 12647-7:2016).
- Abrasion Resistance: 500+ cycles (Taber 5135 tester).
Production Excellence: How We Engineer Out Failure Modes
Our ISO 9001:2015-certified process subjects every bag to 23 quality checkpoints:
1. Kraft Paper Sourcing
- Fiber Length: 3-5mm (ensures tear resistance).
- Burst Strength: 400-600 kPa (TAPPI T807 test).
2. Woven PP Fabrication
- Starlinger Equipment: 100+ circular looms maintain 0.5% thickness variation.
- W&H Extruders: Achieve 12×12 weave density ±0.5 threads/cm.
3. Lamination & Printing
- Adhesive Bond: 3.5-5.0N/15mm (ASTM D903-98).
- CCD Cameras: Detect 0.3mm² defects at 1,500 bags/hour.
Case Study: A European Fertilizer Manufacturer’s Efficiency Gains
Problem: A European fertilizer producer faced 18% annual losses from bag failures during transit.
Solution: VidePak engineered:
- Spouted Valve Bags: Reduced filling times by 40%.
- Triple-Layer Construction: Withstood 2.0 bar pressure (TÜV SÜD certification).
Result: - Damage claims reduced by 82%.
- Production throughput increased by 31%.
Equipment & Capacity: Engineering Scale
Our 120,000m² facility houses:
Equipment | Count | Key Advantage |
---|---|---|
Starlinger Looms | 104 | 1.2B meters/year PP fabric production |
W&H Extruders | 16 | 18,000 MT/year PP resin processing |
Printing Presses | 8 | 6-color flexo with 0.1mm registration |
This infrastructure enables 48-hour lead times for stock items and 10-day turnarounds for custom orders—a critical advantage in agile supply chains.
