Overview of Converting Machinery
Converting machines is the operational backbone of the flexible packaging industry. These systems transform raw flexible substrates, plastic films, laminates, co-extruded sheets, and foils into finished packaging formats including pouches, bags through integrated processes such as sealing, cutting and folding.
Equipped with servo drives and programmable automation, modern converting machines deliver rapid throughput, lower material waste, and repeatable quality over extended production runs. Within this broader category, wicketer bag making machines address a distinct and high-demand requirement producing stacked, pin-mounted bags that integrate seamlessly with automated filling equipment downstream.
What is a Wicketer Bag Making Machine?
A wicketer bag making machine is a specialised converting system that produces finished bags and mounts them onto metal pins ("wickets") in counted stacks, ready for use on automated filling and packaging lines. This pin-stacking configuration is standard in food retail, bakery, fresh produce, hygiene, and medical packaging any environment where rapid, clean bag dispensing directly on the filling line is essential.
Our Vega W-series wicketers are engineered for both conventional bag production and value-added formats. They handle standard applications like bread bags, and they are equally capable of running technically demanding bag types such as:
- Zipper poly bags
- Square and round bottom ("boom") bags
- Diaper and personal hygiene bags
- Fresh produce and perforated bags
- Hot pin blocking bags
- Hermetic seal (pouch-style seam) bags
Technical Specifications of Our Wicketer Bag Making Machine
Our Vega W-series servo wicketers are offered in three working widths- 600 mm, 800 mm, and 1000 mm giving converters the flexibility to match the machine to their specific bag size and output requirements. Each variant is designed for maximum productivity at a competitive cost of ownership, with speeds reaching up to 450 cycles per minute.
