For industries requiring robust, moisture-proof packaging that prioritizes worker safety and logistics efficiency, one critical question emerges: How do Woven Bags with PE Liners ensure product integrity while streamlining handling processes? The answer lies in VidePak’s integration of polyethylene (PE) barrier technology, valve/block-bottom designs, and ISO-certified manufacturing processes that reduce moisture-related losses by 95% and improve palletizing efficiency by 20%. With 150 million units produced annually for clients in food processing, chemicals, and construction—including a Nigerian cocoa processor who reduced mold contamination by 98% using VidePak’s PE-lined bags—this solution redefines industrial packaging safety.
1. PE Liners: Multi-Layer Protection Against Contamination
1.1 Material Composition and Barrier Performance
VidePak’s PE liners are extruded from 100% virgin low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with thicknesses ranging from 0.03–0.08 mm, achieving:
- Moisture barrier: ≤0.5% water vapor transmission rate (WVTR, ASTM E96) at 38°C/90% RH.
- Chemical resistance: Withstand pH 2–12 solutions without degradation (ISO 175).
- Seal integrity: Heat-sealed seams withstand 15 psi pressure (ASTM F1140).
Case Study: A Chilean copper concentrate supplier eliminated $220,000/year in oxidation losses using 0.06 mm PE liners with anti-static coatings (10⁶–10⁸ Ω surface resistivity).
1.2 Safety Enhancements
- FDA/EC 1935 compliance: Safe for direct food contact (e.g., grains, powdered milk).
- Anti-slip surfaces: 0.8–1.2 μm Ra texture reduces drops by 40% in wet environments.
2. Ergonomic Handling Designs for Industrial Efficiency
2.1 Valve Systems: Dust-Free Filling and Discharge
- Pneumatic compatibility: 80–120 mm valve diameters enable 1.8–2.5 ton/hour filling rates.
- Dust suppression: Silicone-coated valves reduce particulate emissions to <1 mg/m³ (OSHA PEL).
- Reusability: 500+ cycles without seam failure (tested per ASTM D5265).
Example: A German cement plant achieved 99.9% dust containment using VidePak’s 100 mm valves with triple-lock seams.
2.2 Block-Bottom (Square-Base) Structural Advantages
- Stacking stability: 85° tilt resistance (EN 15512) allows 8–10 pallet layers.
- Space optimization: 15% more bags per 40-foot container vs. round-bottom designs.
- Automated compatibility: Robotic palletizers achieve ±2 mm alignment at 120 bags/minute.
3. Precision Manufacturing with Starlinger Technology
3.1 Circular Weaving and Lamination Processes
VidePak’s 100+ Starlinger STeX looms produce:
- Consistent weave density: 10×10 to 14×14 threads/inch (±2% tolerance).
- High-speed production: 200–240 RPM, yielding 18,000 m²/day of fabric.
- PE liner bonding: 30 lamination machines apply liners with 35 N/25mm peel strength (ASTM D1876).
3.2 Quality Control Protocols
- Thickness monitoring: Laser sensors ensure ±0.005 mm liner uniformity.
- Burst testing: 5:1 safety factor (e.g., 250 kg test for 50 kg rated bags).
4. Logistics Optimization: Compression and Protection
4.1 200-Ton Hydraulic Compression
- Volume reduction: 25–30% compression enables 1,800–2,000 bags/container.
- Material recovery: ≤1% permanent deformation after 72-hour compression (ISO 2233).
4.2 Palletizing and Film Wrapping
- Stretch-film encapsulation: 80 μm LLDPE films provide:
- Moisture barrier: WVTR ≤5 g/m²/day.
- UV protection: 1,200-hour resistance (ASTM G154).
- Corner protectors: 3 mm PP edge guards reduce shipping damage by 90%.
