Mechanical drives ousted in overwrapping machine
Taking advantage of modern control pneumatics and control systems to move away from mechanical and cam driven methods an overwrapping machine is smaller, lighter and cheaper.
The product is intended to be a direct replacement for the traditional paper products and will allow large savings on handling and wastage caused by paper bag breakage.
The valve bags are manufactured using an AMPLAS patented process using a bespoke heavy gauge polybag machine made by the company.
Not limited to one type of film or size, the bag has many uses such as feed, cement, concrete, grout and cat litter.
The market will appreciate the rain resistance, the reduced cost, the strength and the ability to run with existing filling equipment.

Since AMPLAS started marketing machines in the UK in 1987, many installations have been made, with all machines still operative.
