Gluing machine for bags: efficient and reliable sealing with Fischbein
A Fischbein gluing machine for bags offers a fast, precise, and durable way to close paper and multi-wall bags without the use of sewing. With advanced models like the Fischbein PBC-6000 and DRC-300, you can seal various types of bags using a high-performance hot melt glue machine that ensures maximum protection. These automatic gluing machines are widely used in industries such as powders, minerals, animal feed, agriculture, and horticulture. Thanks to their speed and accuracy, Fischbein gluing systems streamline your packaging process and create dust- and moisture-proof closures.
Very energy-efficient machines are specially designed for use with multi-wall bags in extremely corrosive environments. Equipped with highly efficient heating elements and the patented breakaway device automatic opening system, they are the ultimate machines for closing paper bags with pinch tops.
With their unique thermal tubing system, these machines distribute the heat evenly over the top of the pinch bag for perfect closure. And, thanks to the unique patented breakaway device concept, there are no more bag jams!
A machine specially designed for sealing small multi-wall paper bags between 1 and 20 kg, ensuring effective control of the distribution of the hot-melt glue.
Fischbein hot melt glue machine: powerful technology for industrial packaging
Fischbein’s hot melt glue machines are specially designed for the reliable closure of pre-glued, multi-wall paper bags with folded tops. Featuring a unique heat distribution system and innovative glue technology, these industrial gluing machines provide a strong, hermetic seal: perfect for heavy or complex packaging. Key features include motorized height adjustment, bag cleaning before sealing, and safety mechanisms that prevent jams. These robust machines are ideal for high-speed industrial packaging lines where precision and uptime are essential.
Smart features for continuous operation
Each automatic gluing machine from Fischbein includes intelligent functions like: motorized height adjustment; integrated cleaning of the bag surface before glue application; and jam-prevention safety mechanisms. This ensures continuous, smooth operation — even under tough production conditions with dust, humidity, or temperature fluctuations. The hot melt glue applicator machine technology not only provides a strong and clean seal but also gives your packaging a professional appearance. Without stitches or threads, sealed bags are easier to stack and handle during storage and transport. Fischbein gluing machines are also easy to integrate into existing packaging lines, making them a practical and future-proof investment.

Frequently asked questions
Why glue bags instead of sewing or sealing?
Gluing bags provides a dust- and moisture-resistant seal without perforations like those caused by sewing, offering better protection for the contents. The process is often faster and quieter than sewing and is suitable for a wide range of materials. Gluing also reduces the risk of damage that can occur when sealing sensitive or complex bags. In addition, gluing provides a cleaner and more aesthetic finish, making it ideal for packaging that requires a professional appearance.
What is hot melt glue and how is it applied?
Hot melt glue is a thermoplastic adhesive that is heated until it melts and becomes liquid. It is then quickly applied and solidifies upon cooling to create a strong bond. In the packaging industry, it’s used to rapidly and securely close bags without requiring drying time. The glue is applied directly to the closure edges by a hot melt glue applicator machine. Hot melt glue is flexible and adheres well to a variety of materials, making it a reliable sealing solution. It is also compatible with automated packaging lines.
What materials is gluing suitable for?
Gluing is suitable for paper, cardboard, plastic films, and multilayer packaging materials. In particular, multiwall paper bags with a hot melt strip or inner liner can be effectively sealed using glue. Certain plastic bags with specialized coatings are also compatible with hot melt adhesive. The flexibility of glue allows it to be used on various bag sizes and thicknesses, making gluing a versatile sealing method across many industries.
What is a gluing machine and how does it work in packaging?
A gluing machine is a device that automatically applies glue to packaging materials to seal them. In the packaging industry, hot melt glue machines apply adhesive to paper or plastic bags as part of the production process. The machine heats the glue, doses it accurately, and presses the bag’s closure edges together to form a tight seal. Sensors and intelligent controls allow the machine to operate consistently and safely within automated packaging lines.
What types of gluing machines are available for packaging?
There are various types of gluing machines, each with specific features. Some models are designed for closing folded-top multiwall paper bags, while others handle plastic bags with zip closures. Compact machines exist for small production volumes, and heavy-duty industrial gluing machines are available for high-speed operations. Some systems include additional features like dust removal and motorized height adjustment. The right choice depends on the packaging type and production needs.
What are the benefits of using a gluing machine in a packaging line?
A gluing machine improves efficiency by providing fast and consistent closures without manual labor. It helps prevent leaks and damage that can occur with sewing or sealing. Automated operation reduces errors and increases hygiene and safety. Additionally, automatic gluing machines can be integrated into automated packaging lines for a streamlined production process. This leads to cost savings and improved product quality.
How do I choose the right gluing machine for my packaging needs?
Select a gluing machine based on the types of bags or packaging materials you need to close—such as paper, plastic, or multiwall bags. Consider the required speed, production capacity, and integration with your existing packaging line. Also look for useful features like motorized height adjustment, dust removal, and safety mechanisms. The machine should be reliable and easy to maintain. Votech can help you choose the best machine for your specific product and process.
What are the maintenance requirements for a gluing machine?
Regular cleaning of the glue applicators and heating modules prevents clogging and ensures smooth adhesive flow. Monitoring temperature settings and moving parts helps maintain consistent performance. Worn parts like glue belts or rollers should be replaced in time to avoid breakdowns. It’s important to respond to error messages and alarms immediately. A preventive maintenance plan extends the machine’s lifespan and minimizes downtime.
What does a gluing machine cost, and how fast is the return on investment?
The cost of a gluing machine varies significantly depending on the model, capacity, and features. A high-volume industrial gluing machine for specialized applications is typically more expensive than a basic model. The return on investment depends on production speed, labor savings, and reduced product loss due to better sealing. In many cases, the ROI ranges from a few months to a couple of years. Proper maintenance and efficient use help accelerate profitability.
