Our FFS salt packing machine compactness

One of the most relevant characteristics of the FFS-E salt bagging machine by Concetti is its compact size. 

Being thoughtfully engineered to be placed even in the most narrow places, this machine can be located in any production site. 

Moreover, it displays a monobloc structure, which is particularly user-friendly design-wise. Maintenance operations and cleaning are much easier thanks to an opening at the bottom which enables the operator to reach every corner of the machine.

Safety is another priority for Concetti. This is why FFS-E has inspection doors which allow the machine to be more productive but also to ensure the maximum level of security to the operators. 

This salt bagging machine is synonymous with efficiency, simplicity, and most importantly, puts the safety of the operators first.

 

The process of salt bagging through FFS-E

Diving into the mechanics of the FFS-E equipment, we can definitely perceive that this is not just a functional and solid machine. In fact, it is extremely fast in delivering the bags requested as well as being astonishingly accurate in order to lower product waste. 

Another feature which needs to be emphasized is that the whole structure of this machine is built using top-quality, corrosion-resistant and durable materials such as stainless steel. This is an important characteristic in machinery that needs to be easily cleaned internally because of the corrosive action of salt products. Furthermore, Concetti has automated the entire packaging process. Now, the operators only need to set the parameters correctly and wait for the PLC-managed machinery to deliver the exact amount of bags required.


Push-type high-level palletizer is the best solution for salt bags


Salt packaging is much more complicated than it appears on the outside. For this reason, it is instrumental to reach optimal storage and transport conditions in order to preserve the intrinsic qualities of this product. 

It is not a mere coincidence that the push-type high-level palletizer, when combined with an efficient salt bagging machine, can help you achieve perfect packaging results. 

 

It is essential to keep in mind that salt is inherently dense and it can be well distributed in bags. This palletizer model has been conceived to manufacture stable and cubic pallets. 

In this way, space is optimized and salt can be safely stacked. The future of storage lies in the synergistic work of the FFS-E salt bagging machine with this push-type high-level palletizer.

Otions for Concetti high-level palletizers

  • Teflon finish of the trapdoors for working with plastic bags.
  • Parts in contact with the bag (rollers, plates, etc.) in stainless steel.
  • Dispenser for placing cardboard or Moplefan sheets on the pallets.
  • Dispenser for placing a plastic mesh sheet between the different layers.
  • Possibility of working with pallets higher than 2,000 mm.


For non-standard pallet dimensions, the technical feasibility of the plant must be confirmed.

How salt bagging equipment works


How does the salt bagging process work through the FFS-E system?

  • Firstly, the machine shapes bags starting from a pre-made PE tubular film. Length can vary due to the parameters set for that butch. 
  • Then, bags are filled with salt. Thanks to an automated weighing system, FFS-E knows exactly when to stop in order to provide just the right amount of product. 
  • Once the filling step is over, the machine proceeds with sealing, a very delicate phase that can affect the purity and freshness of salt. 
  • Lastly, bags are palletized so that they can be easily transported.

FFS-E optimizes the manufacturing process ensuring that not a single grain of salt is wasted. But this is not it. 

Concetti cares about the environment and, for this reason, FFS-E can work successfully with different types of packaging, even recycled ones, in order to be greener in an industry which deeply values sustainability. 

Last, but not least, this machine has been designed to save energy, and deliver a perfectly smooth finish.
