Producers of industrial sized bags can add the convenience of easy opening and reclosing by inserting a slider system into a pouch after bag-filling, thanks to technology by Concetti Group, an Italian manufacturer of filling equipment, and Pactiv, the American reclosable slider company.
The Slide-Rite system can now be applied to bags of building and construction materials, lawn, garden and agricultural products and pet and animal feedstuffs.
The development relates to Pactiv’s SR-202 slider applicator and the Concetti FFS machine Continua and IGF-IMF bagging lines for preformed bags.
“We wanted to be the first in Europe to offer our customers using both rollstock and standard preformed bags the possibility to have the Slide-Rite technology,” says Riccardo Concetti, sales and marketing manager.
