Bag Closing Conveyors
How the bag closes decides the shelf life of the product and how it looks on the shelf. There are four closing systems, and all of them work on a conveyor.
Clipband is the most common: it is fast and a date can be printed on it. The tab lock closes with a plastic clip. The tape system uses adhesive tape, and the twist tyer twists the neck of the bag and secures it with wire. Capacity runs from 25 to 60 bags a minute depending on the system.
