Tubular bag machine
Nowadays, more than ever, products are packaged with the help of tubular bag machines. One of the most innovative forms of packaging at present is the stickpack, which is a longitudinally welded small tubular bag. In contrast to a sealed-edge bag, the stickpack uses up to 40% less film for the same filling quantity. Typically, powders, granules, and liquids are packaged with tubular bag machines. For example, sugar, coffee, chocolate, popsicles, potato chips, cosmetics, but also medicines, cleaning cloths, powder packaging, detergents, chocolate bars, confectionery and ketchup. Stickpack and other tubular bags make it easy to consume all these products on the go.
When cutting such tubular bags, the DIENES knives and knife holders find their use.
DIENES Know-How
The knives and knife holders that come into direct contact with food must meet special hygiene and quality requirements. DIENES is direct supplier to packaging machine manufacturers in this market segment.
Our latest shear cut knife holder PSG Mini 25 has proven to be particularly suitable for use in tubular bag machines. Thanks to the backlash-free vertical double guide, this ensures the greatest possible stability while maintaining the minimum cutting width of 25 mm. Operating convenience is significantly increased by the precise depth adjustment and the quick-change mechanism for blade replacement.
