Production Process of Jumbo Bags
The manufacturing of Jumbo Bags involves several stages, each crucial to ensuring product quality and performance. Here’s a detailed look at our production process:
1. Raw Material Preparation
The journey of producing FIBC Jumbo Bags begins with the selection of high-quality polypropylene (PP) resin. This material is known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to moisture and chemicals. At VidePak, we use only virgin PP, sourced from reputable suppliers, to ensure the highest quality in our products.
2. Extrusion
Once the raw materials are prepared, they undergo an extrusion process. The PP pellets are melted and formed into flat films. Our advanced extrusion lines, provided by Starlinger, are designed to maintain high production speeds while ensuring uniform film thickness. This automated process allows us to achieve line speeds exceeding 200 pieces per minute, enhancing our production efficiency.
3. Weaving
The flat films produced in the extrusion phase are then woven into fabric using circular looms. Our production facility is equipped with 150 circular looms, allowing for a significant volume of fabric to be produced in a short time. The weaving process involves intertwining the PP threads to create a robust and durable fabric. The strength of the fabric is critical, as it directly influences the load-bearing capacity of the finished Jumbo Bags.
4. Cutting and Sewing
Once the fabric is woven, it is cut into specific dimensions based on the design requirements. Our cutting machines ensure precision, reducing waste and maximizing material usage. After cutting, the fabric pieces are sewn together using high-strength threads. This sewing process is vital for creating the bag’s structure, including the reinforced bottoms. The X-shaped and W-shaped bottom designs provide additional support, allowing the bags to withstand heavy loads without compromising integrity.
5. Printing and Coating
Next, we incorporate branding and product information through a printing process. Our printing machines are capable of multi-color printing, enabling us to offer customized designs that meet client specifications. After printing, the bags may undergo a coating process to enhance their moisture resistance and overall durability. This additional layer protects the contents of the bags from external elements, making them suitable for various industries.
6. Inspection
Quality control is paramount in our production process. After the bags are printed and coated, they undergo rigorous inspection. Each bag is checked for defects, ensuring that they meet our high standards of quality and durability. This inspection process includes testing the bag’s strength and load capacity, ensuring that they can handle the demands of bulk transportation.
7. Packaging
Once inspected, the Jumbo Bags are packaged for shipment. We utilize automated packaging systems that efficiently bundle and prepare bags for delivery. Our packaging process ensures that the bags remain intact and undamaged during transit, ready to meet our clients’ needs upon arrival.
Automation and Efficiency in Production
At VidePak, we pride ourselves on our state-of-the-art equipment from Starlinger. Our automated systems enhance production efficiency and reduce labor costs, allowing us to focus on quality. The integration of multiple machines in a single production line facilitates seamless operations, minimizing downtime and maximizing output. This automation enables us to maintain high production rates while ensuring consistent product quality.
