HORIZONTAL BAGGING

Optimising Efficiency with Horizontal Bagging Solutions

Packaging efficiency isn’t just about speed. It’s about precision, waste reduction, and product protection. Horizontal bagging solutions help businesses achieve all three by automating the process of filling and sealing bags.

Goldpack supplies advanced automatic bagging systems, helping businesses optimise their packhouse operations with cutting-edge machinery. By integrating smart automation and high-speed performance, these systems not only improve product packaging integrity but also reduce manual labour and operational downtime.

A lot of bagging of fresh fruit and vegetables uses a wicketed bag solution.

Whilst this is an efficient solution to this bagging problem, if their quality of the bags is below specification, problems can and do arise in the bagging process, leading to stoppages and interventions of the operator. With the Gillenkirch Horizontal Bagger there is no need for wicketed bags and the result is no possible bagging problems or stoppages.

Depending on the model specification of the horizontal bagger you opt for, you have the option of using:

  • Premade Polybags on a Roll
  • Centre-Fold Poly Film
  • Centre-Fold Laminated Poly/PP Film
  • Centre-Fold Nett/Film Combination

With regard to the Closing of the Bags, you have the following options:

  • Horizontal Top Seal
  • Self-Adhesive Tape Seal
  • Sealing using a Kwiklok Closure giving you Resealing option
