Futura 1600 DS
Automatic machine for making double seal bags and sheets from plastic films.

Futura 1600 DS is a double sealing bar welding machine for making both open mouth bottom seal bags from tubular films, and open mouth side seal bags from single-folded films. Film materials include HDPE and LDPE, also REGENERATED.
The machine can work with one or two sealing bars with no need for any mechanical adjustment.
Versatility, reliability, welding quality and simplicity of use are the main features of this machine.
PRODUCTION FORMATS
Production formats with tubular films range from 200 to 5000 mm in length with a useful welding width of 1600 mm.
Production formats with single-folded films range from 100 to 1600 mm in length with a width of 5000 mm.
It has been designed to process very thick materials and larger sizes, without excluding all other workable sizes.
Changes in length and thickness do not lead to production downtime.
All functions of the welding machine are programmed via a terminal with a large display for entering production parameters and displaying diagnostic messages.
The Futura 1600 DS welding machine is completely protected by a transparent makralon cover that guarantees total safety of the operators while allowing continuous control of production.
The machine conforms to standards
Customization at the service of your business.
The software program for all the welding machines and the accessories has been developed entirely within the company by specialized engineers.
The machine control programs can be personalized according to the customer’s production requirements.

- The load-bearing structure is stabilized and made of noble metals.
- Roller conveyor with special reinforced profiles.
- Welding unit fitted with nickel/chromium convex sealing strips and electronic heat control to obtain homogeneous and resistant welding.
- Autofocus photocell for printed material.
- Brushless servomotor to ensure constant control of the material infeed speed in sync with the welding bar.
- Feed rollers and gusseting units protected by a patented anti-rolling system.
