Frequently asked questions
How does a bag sewing machine work?
A bag sewing machine closes filled bags by stitching the top shut using one or two threads. The bag is guided either manually or automatically under the sewing head, where the machine quickly and securely sews the seam. Depending on the model, the machine can include tape, a folded edge, or additional features like thread or tape break detection. Fischbein’s industrial bag sewing machines are designed for continuous use and deliver consistent quality regardless of processing speed. This ensures a reliable closure for a wide range of applications.
What is the difference between a bag closing machine and a sealing machine?
The main difference lies in the closing method. A bag sewing machine mechanically closes bags using thread, optionally combined with tape. This method is ideal for paper bags, woven bags, or laminated materials. A bag sealing machine, on the other hand, uses heat to close bags, which works best for plastic or film-based bags. Both types of machines can operate manually or automatically. The choice depends on the material and contents of the bag, allowing you to select the most effective closing method for your needs.
What bag types are suitable for a bag sewing machine?
Bag sewing machines are suitable for many types of bags, including paper bags, woven polypropylene (PP) bags, laminated bags, jute bags, and multi-layer bags with inner liners. Depending on the model, the machine can be adjusted for various sizes, materials, and fill weights. These bags typically range from 5 to over 50 kilograms. This flexibility makes bag sewing machines a great solution for diverse industrial packaging needs.
