Form Fill Seal bagging machine
A form fill seal bagging machine (FFS bagger) makes, fills and closes heavy-duty bags from a roll of polyethylene tubular film. Since there are no pre-made bags to buy and store, packaging cost per bag drops sharply. The machine handles free-flowing powders, granules and pellets and reaches up to 2,000 bags per hour, depending on the product.
The frame is all stainless steel, which suits corrosive chemicals and food products. The machine works in three stations:
1. Forming: the bottom of the bag is sealed and the film is cut to length.
2. Filling: a net or gross weigher fills the bag to the target weight.
3. Sealing: the top is heat-sealed and the bag is discharged.
A compact footprint fits tight packaging rooms, and PLC control with remote access makes operation and troubleshooting simple.

Why U.S. Producers Choose FFS Bagging
An FFS bagger replaces bag magazines and manual bag placement with a continuous film roll. That cuts packaging material cost, labor and changeover time, and it produces moisture-resistant, uniform bags that stack well on pallets.
Typical Bag Sizes and Products
Common fill weights range from about 10 to 110 lb (5–50 kg). Typical products include fertilizer, plastic pellets and resins, salt, sugar, grains and seeds, animal feed and pet food, wood pellets, sand, cement and dry mortar.

Completing the Packaging Line
Options include an annular metal detector, check-weigher with reject, gusseting device, and product conveyor and loading system. Downstream, bags go to a palletizer and stretch wrapper. For lower volumes or pre-made bags, see the open mouth bagging machine and vertical packaging machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
A form fill seal bagging machine is an automatic packaging system that forms bags from a roll of film, fills them with bulk product and seals them in one continuous process.
It forms the bag from plastic film, fills it through a weighing or dosing system, and seals it automatically, giving consistent bags at high speed.
It packages fertilizer, chemicals, plastic pellets, food ingredients, minerals, animal feed, seeds and other powders and granules. Each machine is tailored to the product, bag size and required rate.
It delivers fast, fully automatic bagging with lower labor and packaging costs, consistent bag quality, better product protection and easy integration with conveyors and palletizers.
Pillow bags, gusseted bags and custom heat-sealed bag formats are possible, depending on the product and packaging needs.
Weighers, auger fillers, screw feeders, volumetric dosers and pneumatic or mechanical conveyors can all feed an FFS machine.
Yes. Enclosed filling areas, dust extraction connections and effective sealing keep dusty products under control.
Capacity depends on the product, bag size and filling system. Machines reach up to about 2,000 bags per hour for free-flowing products.
Consider product characteristics, bag size and weight, required rate, fill accuracy, film type, automation level and dust control. We help you select the right configuration.
