Form-fill-seal machinery is one that I don’t tire of watching in action. The speed and grace of these machines create a fluid assembly as they form the package, fill it and seal it within minutes (or seconds). I got the pleasure to see some of these machines running just last month at PACK EXPO International. The themes running among the machinery (from various suppliers) are speed, flexibility and sanitation, and some even accomplish all three.
