FOOD BAGGER.

The FAS Sprint Bagger food packaging machine is a bag-filling and sealing machine for pre-made bags. The system can run laminated stand-up pouches with gussted bottoms, or unsupported polyethylene bags on the same machine with no tooling changes, with fast changeover (less than 5 minutes) between different size and pouch formats. Specifically manufacturer recommended for demanding industrial food packaging applications with daily wash-down sanitation requirements.

The pre-made bags / pouches that run on this machine can also have reclosable zippers, resealable flaps, tamper-evident-perforations, and are available in an assortment of materials that can be pre-printed in up to 10 colors with high-resolution graphics, text and bar codes.
