| Automatic form-fill-seal equipment is designed for high-speed packaging (50 to 200 packages
per minute). Product is fed into a flighted or belted in-feed where it is fed into a horizontal tube
of film which is formed by a forming shoe with singlewound film. The edges of the film are
overlapped and bonded electrostatically or thermally. Both product and film are advanced by a
vacuum belt into a continuous motion cross seal. The primary advantages of using this type of
equipment is the lack of film scrap and the less expensive singlewound film.
