Tubular Woven Bags: Engineering FFS System Synergy Through Material Innovation

When Packaging Meets Automation: The FFS Revolution

Modern bulk material handling requires packaging that keeps pace with 24/7 production demands. Tubular Woven Bags have emerged as critical components for Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) systems in industries including:

• Chemical processing plants filling 1,200kg/hour hazardous powders
• Food manufacturers requiring oxygen barrier integrity for 18-month shelf life
• Construction material suppliers achieving 99.9% fill accuracy

At VidePak, we’ve redefined FFS compatibility through our 4-Stage System Integration Process:

1. Material Selection: Virgin PP resins with 0.91g/cm³ density for optimal flow
2. Weave Engineering: 18×18 mesh counts for consistent air permeability
3. Coating Application: BOPP films with 12μm thickness for heat-seal performance
4. Quality Control: 100% dimensional inspection per ISO 2859 standards

This pipeline enables 99.8% FFS system uptime while maintaining 800N burst strength (ASTM D3786) – critical for minimizing production downtime.

Raw Material Excellence: From Petrochemical to Perfect Bags

Our quality control system ensures material excellence through:

2.1 Supplier Vetting Protocol

• Certification Review: ISO 9001/14001 audits with minimum 5-year track record
• Capability Assessment: 12-month production history analysis
• Standard Compliance: ASTM D1248/EN 13432 verification

Key Partners:

• BASF (Germany): PP homopolymer supply since 2015
• Sinopec (China): 50,000MT annual resin contract
• Yangzi Petrochemical: Long-term HDPE agreements
