Pinch-Bottom-Bag Conversion line - pp*starKON
The PP*STAR® concept, featuring side gussets and pinch bottom, is produced on the pp*starKON, the world’s first pinch bottom bag conversion line for woven PP.
The pp*starKON processes flat fabric into open-mouth pinch bottom bags with side gussets and a stepped cut. The pinch bottom is closed inline with a special glue, while on the pinch top reactive glue is pre-applied. This allows fast and clean sealing during the filling process. The heat-sealing guarantees good closure against external agents.
The PP*STAR® can be supplied with different opening features. The PP*STAR® bag length ranges from 500 – 1070 mm and the bag width is anywhere between 250 and 480 mm.
