FFS Machinability Specs
To ensure seamless high-speed web tracking, jae release, and hermetic sealing on your vertical or horizontal lines, we maintain strict mechanical tolerances:
- Coefficient of Friction (COF): Kinetic COF range of 0.15 to 0.25 (Film-to-metal / Film-to-Film)
- Sealing Temperature Window: Wide operational window from 230°F to 380°F
- Seal Integrity: Excellent hot-track strength prevents bottom-seal blowout during VFFS drops
- Core ID / Slit Width Tolerance: Standard 3″ or 6″ cores; slit width precision within + 0.5 mm
Target Compatibility & Lead Time
- Machine Compatibility: Matrix, Hayssen, Woodman, Bosch, Ishida, Ilapak, Flow-Wrappers
