The impact of the right closing technique

A reliable closure protects your valuable product during transport. It guarantees a long shelf life and safe delivery to customers. Do you choose the wrong method for your specific product or bag? Then you risk annoying leaks and considerably lower efficiency. Votech is happy to help you make the right choice.

Traditional and extremely strong: sewing bags

Sewing is one of the oldest and strongest industrial closing methods. Fischbein sewing machines are the absolute world standard for this technique. This robust technique is ideal for heavy and dusty products. Think of packaging animal feed, seeds or building materials. The thread effortlessly cuts through dust for a firm closure.

• Suitable for paper, woven polypropylene and traditional jute bags.
• Very high production speeds are easily achievable with these sewing machines.
• These systems are easy to integrate into your current automation.

Airtight and hygienic: sealing bags

For food products or chemicals, an airtight seal is absolutely crucial. Here, the advanced Saxon sealing machines excel without any doubt. They fuse the bag edges flawlessly and extremely hygienically together. This prevents dangerous contamination and keeps unwanted moisture out. Your valuable product always remains in optimal condition in this way.

• This method is perfect for plastic and PE-coated bags.
• It directly provides a tight and very professional appearance.
• A strong seal prevents costly product loss during the logistics process.

Dust-free and neat: gluing bags

Gluing offers a unique combination of absolute strength and a neat appearance. This innovative technique folds the bag edge neatly and glues it firmly. The end result is a completely dust-free and perfectly flat closure. This makes efficient stacking of industrial packaging considerably easier. Votech seamlessly integrates these high-quality systems into your existing portfolio.

The final choice strongly depends on your product and bag material. In addition, the desired production capacity naturally plays a very major role. Votech analyses your specific requirements and the complete industrial production environment. We offer smart total solutions for truly every step in the process.

Frequently asked questions about Fischbein & Saxon bag closing: sewing vs sealing vs gluing — what suits your bag type?

Which bag material is suitable for sealing?

Sealing works by far best with various types of thermoplastic materials. Think of flexible polyethylene or specially coated industrial paper. The controlled heat melts these materials perfectly and seamlessly together.

Can I combine sewing and taping?

Yes, that is a very popular and extremely strong closing method. The machine sews the bag shut and immediately applies crêpe tape. This effectively prevents fine powder from escaping through the stitch holes.

Does Votech also offer maintenance for these machines?
