Automated Insert Machines

Spectrum and PPC Industries manufactures food-grade poly liners and tubing that interface with automatic bag insert machines. We use superior resin technology to create liners and tubing with enhanced physical characteristics that run properly and efficiently on automated insert machines. Our advanced winding technology prevents block or static, allowing the roll to run down to core.

After fully evaluating the customer’s project requirements, Spectrum’s engineers specify the film structure for the application. Spectrum offers a wide range of structures, both established and custom designed, to meet our customer’s requirements.
