Dow, Starlinger and Haver & Boecker have formed an active cooperation to combine the advantages of form, fill seal (FFS) technology for free-flowing goods and woven tape fabric as a packaging material.
The FFS technology is a fully automatic low cost packaging method for powders, resins, flakes and many other free-flowing goods and provides an opportunity to cut costs, energy and raw material consumption in the bulk material packaging process.
With the new packaging concept in place, it is possible to process woven tape fabric produced on Starlinger machinery using Dow resin, on Haver & Boecker FFS packaging lines.
The recyclable fabric is of lightweight and bags made of this fabric do not rip and are resistant to dropping, squeezing and bending.
The FFS method uses a sealing process to close the bags, instead of needles, which are prone to breaking, nor sewing thread.
