These machines form the bag or sachet from
rolls of laminated plastic, foil or paper.

Bags can be pillow, gusset, box bottom or pouch.

Normally these machines are matched with
either a Batch Weigher, Linear Weigher, Auger
or Liquid (peristaltic or metric piston) Filler.

Form, fill, and seal machines are used to process liquids, granules, powders, and sprays for consumer, bulk and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supply shipments. Packaging materials include aerosol containers, bags and pouches, blister packs, bottles and jars, cartons and boxes, cans, capsules, cartridges, cases, cups and trays, drums and kegs, pallets and pails, and tubes and vials. Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) have a capacity of not more than 3 cubic meters and are designed to be handled by form, fill, and seal machines. There are several ways to close packages. Examples include caps and lids, corks, glue, heat seals, nails and staples, tapes, tucks and folds, wrappers, and tamper-resistant materials.
