Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What film types are compatible with this machine?
The machine works with BOPP, LDPE, laminated film, PET, and heat-sealable films.
Q2: Can I pack multiple items in a single pouch?
Yes, with the appropriate feeding system or collator, you can group multiple items (e.g., two soap bars or three pens).
Q3: Can I use my own printed film with branding?
Yes. The photo-eye mark sensor ensures your branding and artwork are perfectly centered on each pack.
Q4: Does this machine require compressed air?
Yes. It typically needs 0.6–0.8 MPa for sealing pressure and auto-eject systems (if pneumatic).
Q5: Is it suitable for small and large products?
Yes. The machine is highly adjustable and can accommodate a wide range of product sizes.
Q6: What is the downtime for product changeover?
Typically less than 15 minutes, especially with pre-saved packaging “recipes” via the touchscreen control.
