4.7 BAG SUPPORT CAPABILITY
Product conveying belts hold the bag in position during the sealing process. The
amount of weight capable of being supported by the conveying belts is directly proportional
to the width and the thickness of the bag containing the product. The machine in-feed section
is designed to support the bag as it runs through the sealer. Typically a 250mm wide L.D.P.E
bag will support 1kg of product. More weight can be supported with wider bags and less
weight can be supported as bag width narrows. If you see slippage of the bag a conveyor is
recommended for additional support. Evidence of slippage will result in a stretched or torn
seal.
