Biodegradable bag making machines are available in various configurations (semi-automatic to fully automatic) with specifications varying by model and manufacturer, including production capacity, power requirements, and compatible materials like PBAT and PLA. Key Specifications
Automation Grade: Machines can be fully automatic or semi-automatic, impacting labor needs and production speed.
Capacity: Production capacity varies significantly, ranging from approximately 25-80 kg/hr or 100-400 pieces per minute, depending on the specific model and bag size.
Bag Material: These machines are designed to process biodegradable and compostable materials, such as PBAT (Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate), PLA (Polylactic Acid), and corn-starch based blends.
Power and Voltage: Most industrial machines require a 3-phase power supply, with voltages typically around 380V to 440V and connected loads ranging from 20 kW to 53 kW.
Bag Dimensions:
Max Bag Width: Can range from 250mm up to 1200mm (approx. 10 inches to 47 inches), depending on the model.
Max Bag Length: Ranges from 150mm up to 800mm or more.
Film Thickness: The machines can handle a thickness range of approximately 10 to 100 microns.
Machine Dimensions and Weight: Physical sizes vary, with some machines having a towering height of 16-20 feet and weights of approximately 1200-2700 kg.
Features: Common features include PLC/PID controls, servo-controlled cutting for accuracy, electric heat-sealing, and automated web-guided unwind/rewinding mechanisms. They can often produce various bag types like D-cut, loop-handle, and square-bottom bags.
