FAWEMA GmbH

FAWEMA form, fill & seal machines feature intelligent control solutions and rugged construction making them ideally suited for continuous operation in the food and non-food industries – even under the most difficult of conditions.

Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and dynamic servo-drives throughout, the machines can be adapted to a wide range of products and packaging films.

FAWEMA form, fill and seal machines are especially designed for operating efficiency under practical conditions and ease of operation. Accurate bag lengths can be guaranteed even with varying speeds. The packaging process is optimized by user programmable jaw pressure and a sensitive product detection system in the sealing area.

FAWEMA Bags, sacks and pouches
As a producer of machines that pack hugely different products, from fine powders to bulkier products like wood charcoal and cat litter, we understand the needs of each industry when it comes to the final pack that must be achieved.  
FAWEMA equipment is diverse and flexible allowing our customers to utilise a wide range of bags and have a large variety of closure options. Retail pre-made paper bags and sacks in a weight range of up to 25 kgs can be tightly sealed in a variety of ways, from standard hotmelt glue application to applying labels and top stitching to deliver both brick-style packs and gable top packs.   
FAWEMA can also run premade plastic bags on a large range of the machines that we produce. The pre-made plastic can have many different closures, including zip closures and ultrasonic sealing.
Typically, pre-made plastic bags have been used in the Pet food industry, but there has been a shift away from the traditional paper bags in the loose tea, sugar and even flour industries, to pre-made plastic bags.
FAWEMA has in recent times installed machines that can pack into a pre-made paper and pre-made plastic bags. The underlying reasons that the industries want this flexibility, are the plastic bags can be completely airtight sealed and the bags allow for better marketing and are more visually appealing to the consumer on the shop shelf.  
FAWEMA develops and produces its own Form fill and seal machines, which create the bag initially on the machine from roll stock film or film composites. The bags when formed and filled can then be closed in the same way as a pre-made bag.

FAWEMA's multi-unit packaging lines are ideally suited for combination with all common types of packaging machines. Both rigid containers and soft packages such as block-bottom bags, flat bags and the like can be grouped in the most diverse arrangements and wrapped in shrink film.
Advanced sealing tools and a high-performance shrink tunnel suited for operation in dust-laden areas guarantee optimum results in secondary packaging.
Thanks to their modular construction, FAWEMA's multi-unit packaging lines can be flexibly configured and added to. It is easily possible to connect several upstream packaging machines to one multi-unit packaging line.

Outstanding Features

• film wrap from reel for all monoaxially and biaxially shrinking films
• low-wear, continuously heated welding system
• shrink tunnel suited for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
• continuously adjustable speed of passage
• option for processing bags with upright gable-top closures
• easy changeover of formats and multi-pack arrangements
• option of adding modules for higher performance (e.g. pre-collecting chamber)
• choice of linear, L-shaped or U-shaped installation
• choice of right- or left-handed orientation
• optional synchronization with upstream or downstream machines
• sturdy construction for multi-shift operation
• servo-driven multi-unit packer with automatic format changeover available

Max. size of multi-packs: up to 800 mm long, up to 800 mm wide, up to 400 mm high

Max. film width: up to 980 mm

Output/minute: up to 20

Typical examples:

free-standing bags, boxes...

This machine developed on the basis of FAWEMA’s many years of expertise broadens our product range by offering a low-cost solution for pre-made bags which is primarily intended for packaging flour, sugar, tea or similar products.

The Highlights

• Higher flexibility thanks to servo-driven main motions.
• Times for format changes are much reduced. Less format parts required.
• Low outlay for additional formats.
• Larger format range.
• Better product vibration and thus better compaction.
• Less space required due to a smaller machine housing. There is no need for a height-adjustable conveyor.
• Better access for maintenance and cleaning.
