Why Continuous Roll Technology Is the Future of Sustainable Manufacturing
FFS Roll Woven Bags aren’t just packaging—they’re the backbone of modern zero-waste production. By eliminating 47% of packaging material waste and boosting filling line speeds by 62%, these continuous rolls solve two of industry’s most expensive problems. But what truly sets VidePak apart isn’t just the technology—it’s our relentless focus on making that technology work flawlessly for your operations.
The Manufacturing Journey: From Resin to Recycling-Ready Rolls
Let’s walk through the seven-stage production process that makes our FFS rolls industry benchmarks:
1. Resin Preparation: The 0.3% Difference
We start with 100% virgin polypropylene (PP) from global suppliers like LyondellBasell. But the magic happens in our blending process:
- Drying: 85°C dehumidification for 4 hours (ISO 1872-2)
- Additives: 2% UV stabilizers + 1.5% antioxidants
- Mixing: Twin-screw extruders ensure 0.3% nucleating agent dispersion
Why It Matters:
This precision blend gives our bags 450N/5cm seam strength—27% stronger than industry averages.
2. Extrusion & Weaving: Starlinger’s German Engineering
Our 16 extrusion lines (German W&H) and 100+ circular looms (Austrian Starlinger) operate with surgical precision:
- Tape Production: 3,000 filaments wound into 5,000-denier yarn
- Weaving: 400 RPM looms with 0.2mm weave accuracy
- Quality Gate: Real-time AI vision systems reject 0.003% of production
Equipment Edge:
These machines enable 12,000-ton annual capacity while maintaining ±1μm thickness tolerance.
3. Lamination: Building Barriers That Last
For food-grade applications, we add 25-micron BOPP film using Starlinger’s solvent-free process:
- UV Resistance: 1,600-hour Xenon arc testing (ASTM G155)
- Oxygen Barrier: 0.5cc/m²/day transmission (MOCON certified)
- FDA Compliance: Food Contact Notification (FCN) 1800 approval
Client Impact:
A Japanese rice miller extended shelf life by 24 months using our aluminum-lined FFS rolls.
4. Printing: 8-Color Precision With Zero Waste
Our flexo presses deliver pharmaceutical-grade graphics while recycling 100% of ink wash-off material:
- Registration: 0.1mm color-to-color accuracy
- Inks: UV-cured with 98% solids content (eliminating VOCs)
- Efficiency: 99.2% ink transfer rate (27% better than industry average)
Sustainability Metric:
This process saves 1,200 liters of solvent annually compared to conventional printing.
5. Slitting & Rewinding: The Final 0.3%
Even at this stage, precision matters:
- Tension Control: 0.5N load cells maintain ±2% web tension
- Edge Trimming: 2mm precision via ultrasonic cutting
- Roll Building: 5,000m rolls with 0.3% diameter variance (ISO 2983)
Operational Benefit:
Seamless integration with 98% of global FFS packaging machines.
Quality Assurance: From IQC to OQC
Our 14-stage inspection protocol makes defect rates practically irrelevant:
| Stage | Equipment | Key Metric |
|---|---|---|
| Incoming | NIR Spectrometers | 0.2% moisture tolerance |
| In-Process | Laser micrometers | ±5μm thickness control |
| Final | Tensile testers | 450N/5cm seam strength |
Certification:
ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 compliance across all facilities.
