What do you need to start a bag production line?

Equipment for the production of plastic bags

To obtain good results, you need to organize a continuous production process. Therefore, the most practical and reliable way is an established automatic line. The main countries producing equipment for the production of bags are:

• Taiwan;
• China;
• Türkiye.

Russian factories also do not lag behind in the production of high-quality equipment.

Equipment Manufacturers

The main suppliers of equipment for the production of plastic bags to the Russian market are Taiwan, Turkey and China.

Gur-is makina

The Turkish company was founded in 1988. It is a family business that, thanks to the active implementation of advanced technologies, has been able to achieve great success in the production of high-quality equipment. Machines for the production of bags from this company are in demand in Asia and Africa, the CIS, America (North and South), and in many European countries. In addition to standard lines, Gur-is makina produces custom equipment to perform specialized tasks.

Hyplas

Hyplas is one of the leaders in Taiwan in the production of equipment for the production of bags, bags, LDPE and HDPE bags, rotogravure and flexographic machines. The products of this manufacturer have high performance. Moreover, its cost is very affordable. The ease of installation and commissioning process makes Hyplas equipment particularly attractive.

Mingde Machinery Company

The Chinese manufacturer of equipment for the production of polymer products is well known in the domestic and international markets. The company's product list includes a large number of modifications of extruders for the production of polyethylene film, machines for the production of OPP bags, T-shirt bags and with a loop handle. The company also produces extruders with a pattern application device. You can also purchase equipment for recycling and subsequent granulation of polyethylene waste from them. The company's specialists practice designing equipment to order.

Domestic manufacturers

Russian factories are very successfully mastering the production of equipment for plastic bags. For example, the group has occupied a worthy place in the market for at least 20 years. The structure of the group includes the APO Aleko-Polymers complex, which specializes in the manufacture of polymer equipment. Currently, the group is one of the country's leading developers and manufacturers of equipment for processing polyethylene waste, producing plastic bags, and flexographic equipment.

Extrusion machine

The extrusion plant converts polyethylene raw materials into film. They differ in the width of the blown sleeve. Therefore, you need to immediately decide on the required dimensions of the finished product and select the appropriate machine for the production line of plastic bags.

Extruders are produced together with a device for connecting seams. There are varieties of machines equipped with a corocator. It will be needed if a printed design (logo of a supermarket chain) will be applied. It removes static charge from polyethylene. Without this procedure, the paint simply will not adhere to the surface.

How to organize a polyethylene production plant

Every manufacturing business begins with the development of a business plan.

Drawing up a business plan

The purpose of the business plan is to provide general information about the author of the project and a description of the products that he plans to produce. The objectives of the project should also be disclosed, and the production technology of the product should be described in detail.

If this technology is new, then the business plan must present the conclusions of the relevant authorities on its safety for the environment and human health.

Room

Industrial production, such as the production of polyethylene, should be located in the production zone of the populated area. There are certain sanitary and technical requirements for a production facility. The area of ​​the room should not be less than 100 square meters. meters, its height should not be lower than 10 meters. Production workshops must have fire protection and good ventilation.

Staff

A small team can ensure the production process:

• head of the enterprise;
• accountant;
• Sales Manager;
• technologist;
• production line maintenance workers – 4 people.

Other staffing options are also possible.

Paperwork

First of all, you need to register your business. It could be an LLC. It is also necessary to obtain permits from the following authorities:

• City Administration;
• fire, environmental and sanitary-epidemiological services;
• electrical supervision

Cost calculation

First, income from production of products is calculated:

• how much is spent on average on the production of a certain volume of products;
• what is its market value;
• what is the income?

Then you need to calculate all expenses:

• cost of permits;
• preparation of the premises;
• equipment purchase;
• purchase of raw materials.

Monthly expenses:

• remuneration of employees;
• payment for rent of premises;
• taxes and utilities.

Next, calculations are made of the return on investment of the business and its profitability.

Flexographic machine

The production line can be equipped with a device for applying a pattern. There are three types of flexographs:

• two-color;
• four-color;
• six-color.

This equipment is quite expensive. To save money, you can use the services of companies that specialize in flexographic printing. If you do not plan to produce bags with a pattern, then this installation will not be required.

Bag making machine for production

A bag making machine is an indispensable piece of equipment in a production line; it is equipped with a conveyor and is used for cutting products. These machines have additional equipment that makes them multifunctional:

• thermal needles;
• photocell;
• punching press;
• servo;
• winder;
• perforation knife.

Roll Bag Making Machine Taiwan

The installation creates different types of packaging products. Thus, a photocell and hot needles are used to make T-shirt bags. If the machine does not have some necessary type of additional equipment, it will have to be purchased separately.

Raw materials for the production of bags

Granulated polyethylene is used as raw material. It is available in two versions:

• high pressure polyethylene;
• low-pressure polyethylene.

The most affordable raw materials are produced by manufacturers in Russia and Korea.

Granulates vary in quality level:

• first grade;
• recycled.

Garbage bags are mainly made from recycled materials. It is prohibited to use it for food packaging.

Special dyes will also be needed for production.

Conditions for launching a bag production line

Choosing the premises and location for opening this business requires special attention. Manufacturing products from polyethylene has a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, the bag production line can only be opened if all environmental safety requirements are met:

Environmental safety directly depends on compliance with all conditions for launching a bag production line

• the workshop should be located in non-residential areas, outside populated areas;
• placement of equipment and organization of workplaces must be carried out in accordance with GOST;
• a fire protection system must be installed;
• the room is equipped with exhaust and supply ventilation, humidity control and heating;
• the voltage of the network from which the machines are powered must be 380 V;
• batteries must be grounded;
• The ceiling height in the workshop is not lower than 8 meters.

A room for the production of bags should be selected with an area of ​​at least 300 square meters. It is usually divided into 3 sections - production workshop, exhibition hall and warehouse.

As for personnel, there will be no problems finding them. The bag production line does not require the participation of highly qualified personnel. Operating the machines is easy. Therefore, workers will be easy to train, and after a short internship they will be able to begin the full-fledged work process.

Equipment for the production of paper bags and bags

Today there are many proposals regarding the acquisition

equipment for the production of paper bags

for the production of paper bags and packages, but the fundamental difference lies in the power of the equipment.
The latter, as a rule, determines the type of equipment: low-power lines are semi-automatic mini-factories, and high-capacity lines are automated in most cases. Of course, the price depends on the type of line. Depending on your starting capital, you can purchase production lines that are completely different in price and characteristics. The basic minimum consists of: a machine for multi-layer gluing of workpieces, equipment for forming and gluing bags, stitching machines. As the business develops, production can be gradually expanded by purchasing additional equipment. For the initial stage, you can organize a small workshop with a production volume of no more than 250 bags per hour.

You can purchase new or used equipment. For example, a used UBT-200M (semi-automatic) machine can be purchased for 300-400 thousand rubles and equipped with additional equipment. Then the minimum production line will cost approximately 700-900 thousand rubles.

Let's take a closer look at the cost and equipment of the new automated line.

Equipment for the production of paper packaging

This table will allow you to calculate the cost of equipment and plan production. For example, equipping a line that produces up to 800 thousand open or 360 thousand closed bags per month, with printing up to 2 colors, will cost 6.5 million rubles.

Such a large difference in prices is easily explained by productivity, which is up to 120 blanks per minute, regardless of the number of paper layers in the bags produced (from 1 to 5).

Please note that it is advisable to purchase a hydraulic bale press and an installation for mixing glue only for large-scale production. If you plan to organize a small workshop, then you can do without this equipment. Another important point: only low-power lines can be equipped with additional equipment; and high-capacity lines are usually sold complete, configured and adjusted to certain production parameters.

Technically, the line for the production of paper bags and packages consists of the following units and blocks: an unwinding unit, a unit for interlayer transverse sizing of paper layers, a unit for longitudinal sizing of paper layers, a device for forming a paper sleeve with one side fold (rebate) and three side folds (rebates) according to GOST R53361-2009, a perforation unit (up to 144 holes with a diameter of up to 3 mm) with a longitudinal cutting device for making a glued bottom of a bag, a device for drawing and cutting a sleeve with a counter of finished paper tubes, a conveyor and a receiver of finished products. Production is fully automated and controlled from the control panel.

Separately, it should be noted that the line for the production of paper bags and packages also has the useful property of being reconfigurable to the desired format of the products (length - from 30 to 120 cm; width - from 20 to 61 cm for the described line), unlike mini-factories, producing packages or sacks only in a predetermined and set format and requiring constructive additions to change it.

The line is usually equipped with additional flexographic printing units, as well as a lifting and moving mechanism for installing paper rolls weighing up to 1 ton, which automates the feeding of paper rolls. There are any types of paper bags produced.
