News - What is an FIBC Fabric Cutting Machine?

An FIBC fabric cutting machine is used to cut polypropylene (PP) woven fabric into precise shapes and sizes for making FIBC bags. These fabrics are typically tubular or flat PP woven sheets laminated or coated for strength and durability.

When computerized, the machine integrates PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) to automate the cutting process, ensuring high precision, speed, and reduced manual error.

Key Features of a Computerized FIBC Fabric Cutting Machine

  1. High Precision Cutting

    • Equipped with servo motors and sensors for exact measurements.

    • Accuracy is essential for maintaining bag size consistency.

  2. Automation

    • Uses pre-programmed dimensions for different FIBC sizes.

    • Reduces operator intervention, increasing productivity.

  3. Cutting Methods

    • Cold cutting for simple straight cuts.

    • Hot cutting using heat to seal edges and prevent fraying.

  4. PLC Control System

    • Easy setting of fabric length, cutting speed, and production count.

    • Touchscreen interface for quick parameter adjustment.

  5. Output Efficiency

    • Capable of cutting hundreds or thousands of pieces per shift.

    • Consistent quality output for large-scale FIBC production.

  6. Safety Features

    • Emergency stop functions.

    • Overload protection and automatic alarms.

Types of Cuts Performed

  • Straight Cut: For side panels, top panels, or bottom panels.

  • Circular Cut: For circular-type FIBCs (with additional attachments).

  • Angle/Diagonal Cut: For special design requirements.

Advantages of Computerized Fabric Cutting

  • Speed: Significantly faster than manual cutting.

  • Accuracy: Reduces material waste and improves bag uniformity.

  • Labor Savings: Minimal manual handling required.

  • Customization: Easily adaptable for different bag sizes and shapes.

  • Quality: Consistent sealing of edges to avoid fabric fraying.

Typical Technical Specifications

  • Cutting Length Range: 300 mm – 6000 mm (customizable).

  • Cutting Speed: 10 – 30 cuts per minute (depends on fabric thickness).

  • Fabric Width: Up to 2200 mm.

  • Power Supply: 3-phase, 220/380/415 V.

  • Motor Type: Servo motor for accurate feeding.

Applications

  • Manufacturing jumbo bags for cement, chemicals, food grains, fertilizers.

  • Cutting liner fabrics for coated FIBC bags.

  • Preparing panels, tops, and bottoms for various bag designs.
