Reduce Downtime with our Forming Set Refurbishment Service
Operating an efficient supply chain is critical to achieving production, sales and labour targets. Production downtime poses a significant risk to businesses, with the cost of downtime being over £10,000 per hour for large businesses (source). Therefore, ensuring your production line is back up and operational as quickly as possible is crucial to running a profitable and efficient operation.
A particular pain point for manufacturers utilising VFFS machinery is when a forming set or tube closer begins to underperform or stop working altogether. Typical signs of this can be:
- Creasing in bags
- Poor quality back seal
- Twisted bags
- Film snapping
- Product captured in the end seal
- Overinflated bags
At BagForm International, we pride ourselves on our industry-leading turnaround times and track record in supporting businesses when they require a VFFS forming set or tube closer at short notice. Whilst we can manufacture brand new forming sets and tube closers in under three weeks, it usually is faster and more cost-effective to refurbish your existing VFFS equipment instead.
Our “Refurb & Return” service offers manufacturers with VFFS machinery a cost-effective and fast solution to get their bag forming sets and tube closers back on the production line. We have a proven track record and extensive experience working with all major VFFS machinery OEM brands. Furthermore, with our comprehensive parts supply and efficient manufacturing process, we can refurbish a forming set or tube closer in as little as 24 hours (depending on the scope of the work), providing an industry-leading turnaround time.
