Needleless Bag Making Machine for Foam, Air Bubble Film, Laminated Materials

SLA16W.VE — one line that cuts sheets and makes bags, without a single hole in the finished product.

If your customers keep asking for bags without holes, the problem is probably not your welding. It is the stacker.

On most bag making machines, finished bags and sheets are collected on needles. On air bubble film, every needle is a bubble that will deflate. On foam, it is a weak point exactly where the product will be stressed.

The SLA16W.VE collects without needles. Same bags, same sheets, no perforation anywhere.

Sheets and bags on one machine, without needles

Until now you had to choose.

A sheet cutting machine like our FlexCut16 stacks without needles, but it only cuts. A bag making machine SLA16W welds bags of any size, but collects them on needles.

The SLA16W.VE brings the two together. It cuts, it welds, it makes bags in different sizes, and it stacks everything automatically without piercing the material. One line, two jobs, no compromise on the finished product.

Where needleless bags make the difference

Protective packaging with air bubble film. Bubble bags and sheets that arrive at the end customer fully inflated, doing the job they were bought for.

Foam bags and pouches. For electronics, furniture, glass, automotive parts and any product that must arrive without a scratch — and where a pierced pouch is a returned delivery.

Technical foam sheets and formats. Where your customer inspects the surface, and a row of holes means a rejected batch.

Working with a material that is not on this list? Tell us.

Several FAP machines exist today because a customer brought us a material we had never processed before.

At a glance

• Film width up to 1600 mm
• Sheets and bags from 80 mm to 900 mm with automatic needleless collection (longer formats with manual collection)
• Foam, air bubble film and laminated materials
• Three seal types supplied with the machine

Speed depends on the material you run, the format and the number of layers. That is why we define it on your production.

What you gain

• No holes, anywhere. Not on the seal, not on the sheet, not on the bag. What leaves the line is what your customer ordered.
• Sheets and bags from the same line. Switch between formats and bag sizes without moving the job to another machine.
• Three seal types without changing machine. Flat, V and wire seals are all supplied, so one line covers different products and customer specs.
• Gentle on delicate materials. The film is fed smoothly into the machine, so elastic and thin materials are not stressed by the stop-and-go rhythm of cutting and welding.
• One operator. Reel loading and daily running are designed for a single person.
• Orders you used to turn down. The requests you sent to a subcontractor, or refused, become work you can take in-house.

A machine built around your production

• SLA16W.VE is configured following the FAP Method: we start from what you have to produce — your material, your formats, how the finished product leaves the line and who runs it on the night shift. The configuration is the last decision we make together.

  That is what we call Co-Engineered Machinery: feasibility study, design and modelling, coordination with you at every step, construction, testing in our workshop, then installation and commissioning at your plant.

  And delivery is not where it ends. We start the line on your material, fine-tune what only real production reveals, and stay with you for the years the machine will be running.

Frequently asked questions

• Why do bag making machines leave holes in bubble film and foam? Most bag making and sheet cutting lines collect the finished product on needles that hold the stack together. The needles pierce every sheet or bag. The SLA16W.VE uses an automatic needleless stacker, so the product is never pierced.
• Can one machine make both bags and cut sheets? Yes. The SLA16W.VE cuts sheets and welds bags in different sizes on the same line, with automatic needleless stacking for both.
  
  
• Which materials can it process? Foam, air bubble film and laminated materials. If you work with something else, send us the details: we will tell you honestly whether the line can handle it.
  
  
• How fast is the machine? It depends heavily on the material, the format and the number of layers.
  
  
• What is the difference from the FlexCut16 and from the FAP bag making machine? The FlexCut16 cuts sheets with needleless collection. The bag making machine welds bags but collects them on needles. The SLA16W.VE does both jobs — cutting and bag making — with needleless collection.
