Sewn Open Mouth (SOM) fabric bags have revolutionized the packaging industry with their versatility and durability. These bags, often referred to as SOM Bags, cater to diverse sectors like agriculture, chemicals, and food industries. At VidePak, a leading name among woven bag manufacturers, we ensure the production of Sewn Open Mouth Woven Bags meets the highest standards through rigorous quality testing. This article explores our comprehensive testing processes that make Open Mouth Bags the trusted choice for global clients.
The Importance of Quality Testing for SOM PP Bags
Quality assurance in SOM sacks involves multifaceted testing that guarantees reliability under varying conditions. These tests are designed to assess the physical, chemical, and functional properties of our bags to ensure performance under stress and environmental challenges. Here are the critical testing methods VidePak employs:
1. Tensile Strength Testing
Tensile strength is crucial to ensure that SOM PP Bags can withstand heavy loads during handling and transportation. At VidePak, we test the raw polypropylene threads and the finished bags for their load-bearing capacity. Our high-precision equipment measures breaking points to ensure the materials meet or exceed international standards.
| Parameter | Standard | VidePak Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 60 MPa | 65–70 MPa |
| Elongation at Break | 15%–25% | 20%–22% |
2. Tear Resistance Testing
Tear resistance ensures the durability of SOM Bags during sharp impacts or rough handling. Our testing evaluates resistance in both machine and cross-machine directions, replicating real-world scenarios to enhance the bags’ longevity.
3. Heat Sealing Integrity
Heat sealing is essential for Sewn Open Mouth Bags, especially those used in industries requiring moisture protection. Our machines simulate high-temperature conditions to test the sealing strength and flexibility under various climatic conditions.
4. UV Resistance Testing
VidePak ensures that woven bags maintain their structural integrity under prolonged exposure to sunlight. The ultraviolet (UV) resistance test simulates outdoor conditions, verifying that our bags can withstand extreme weather for extended periods without degradation.
Comprehensive Quality Tests
In addition to the major tests, VidePak conducts supplementary tests to meet specific client requirements:
| Test Type | Purpose | Equipment Used |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness Tolerance | Ensures uniform material thickness | Digital micrometer |
| Weight (GSM) Check | Verifies the grammage consistency | Electronic balance |
| Edge Burr Detection | Checks for smooth cuts to prevent handling issues | Edge smoothness detector |
| Color Difference | Matches client-specific branding needs | Spectrophotometer |
| Elongation Rate | Measures material flexibility | Tensile tester |
Advanced Testing for Industry Standards
VidePak’s commitment to quality doesn’t stop at standard testing. We adopt additional methods to meet niche industry demands:
1. Aging Tests
Aging tests help simulate long-term usage scenarios. The bags are subjected to high temperatures, humidity, and physical strain for extended periods, ensuring they remain functional under extreme conditions.
2. UV and Anti-Aging Performance
Sewn Open Mouth Woven Bags are tested in UV chambers that simulate intense sunlight exposure, ensuring that even in outdoor settings, the bags maintain their tensile strength and tear resistance.
3. Weight Consistency Testing
Weight consistency is critical for maintaining quality across batches. Our automated systems test multiple samples from each production run to ensure they align with customer requirements.
4. Cutting Precision
To avoid mishandling and waste during operations, our quality team verifies that the cutting edges are free from burrs and meet dimensional accuracy requirements.
5. Color Consistency
For customized SOM sacks, VidePak uses spectrophotometers to maintain color uniformity across prints, ensuring brand logos and designs remain visually appealing.
Why VidePak Stands Out Among Woven Bag Manufacturers
VidePak’s reputation among woven bag manufacturers stems from our state-of-the-art facilities and commitment to rigorous quality control. With industry-leading Starlinger equipment and over 30 years of expertise, our team ensures that every batch meets stringent quality standards. Our continuous innovation in testing and production technologies keeps us ahead in the competitive global market.
