The 1500ED series bottom seal bag making machines offer high speed bag production up to 600 fpm (183 mpm.) An enlarged drum allows superior sealing of special blends and heavy-gauge films. The 1500ED rotary bag machines can be configured to run in-line with an extruder or use parent rolls of tube or pre-slit material to make side or bottom sealed bags. Bottom or side seals are applied in the blanket and drum section. A series of perforations are placed either next to the bottom seal or in-between the side seals to allow for separation of the bags. The 1500ED series bottom seal bag making machine from CMD offers high-performance bag making in a robust system designed for years of troublefree, profitable operation.
