Leading manufacturer of dry ingredients conveying and bulk bag handling, Spiroflow, is offering businesses a supply chain cost benefit by including foil or plastic bag liners within their woven bulk bags.

Working closely with leading bag liner suppliers, Spiroflow’s bulk bag filling equipment can now integrate these liners, which, following a nitrogen purge and heat sealing process, can significantly extend product shelf life. The innovative solution will be of particular interest to producers of nuts, seeds, coffee beans, dried fruits.

Commenting on the initiative, Spiroflow’s James Podevyn, said: “The foil or plastic bag liner could be used with any bulk bag filling construction we make and the customer may choose the perfect, bespoke bag for their product, enabling us to build the equipment to meet their exact requirement.  This enhanced bag process could benefit any product that has a shelf life, is affected by contact to air, or is hygroscopic in nature.”
