01.Product Features

Characteristics of our flexible container bag

  • 01

    Design to meet customer needs

    We do development, design, prototype, evaluation and mass production after thoroughly studying distribution system such as filling environment, on-premises transportation, shipping for customer's flexible container bag.

  • 02

    Domestic product development and overseas production

    We provide optimal specifications with the shortest delivery time by flexible container bag product development in Japan and prototype making, performance test and mass production in our overseas factories.

  • 03

    Continuously cost reduction

    We thoroughly control the cost of our own factory, eliminate unnecessary waste, strive to reduce the defect rate and improve the yield, and do what can be done locally at the local site, achieving a thorough cost reduction by establishing a head office structure with a minimum number of staff.

  • 04

    Lean distribution management

    In place of stock management of customer's flexible container bags, established a just-in-time supply system. We deliver containers directly to customers as well.

  • 05

    Assortment of high-level flexible container bags

    There are many achievements in the production of flexible containers such as new JIS standards, high cleanliness specifications, food specifications, UN standard compliant, conductive specifications, and anti-electrostatic specifications. In addition, it is also possible to supply single items such as inner bags for flexible containers (aluminum inner bags, conductive inner bags, anti-electrostatic inner bags).

Electrostatic measures flexible container bags

Electrostatic measures flexible container bags are made to prevent disasters such as dust explosion caused by electrostatic discharge when filling and discharging. There are three types of them (type B, C, D) classified by discharge prevention mechanism. On the other hand, normal flexible container bags which are made without any special electrostatic measures are called type A. We offer all types of electrostatic measures flexible container bags. (type B to type D) They can be used safely even in an environment where dust explosion may occur.

Products of flexible container bags

  • Type A:Normal flexible container bags are made without any special electrostatic measures.

  • Type B:They are designed to suppress the generation of creeping discharge. They can be used in an environment where measures against electrostatic disasters are taken and a dusty environment ignition energy exceeds 3mJ.

  • Type C:The flexible container bags are made of mixed fabric in which carbon steel or conductive yarn with a silver core are woven at regular intervals. Our system is designed to quickly reduce static electricity generated when filling and discharging granular materials, and not to store energy that could lead to disasters. We check all products for conductivity after inspection and before shipping.

  • Type D:They are made from safety designed materials which prevent brush discharges and creeping discharges and do not need grounding. This type of flexible container bag produces corona discharges before producing brush discharges or creeping discharges when the bags get electrified and then the conductor approaches. Corona discharge does not set a fire because it’s a very weak discharge with almost no sound or light, also referred to as silent discharge. The flexible container bags are made for complete protection against the danger of electrostatic and don’t need to ground.

Standards for Food Sanitation Law / Food / Addictives

Standards for Food Sanitation Law / Food / Addictives

We conduct regular inspections of standard material of flexible container bags and inner bags for food, based on the notification "Material standards for synthetic resin tools or containers and packaging (Ministry of Health and Welfare Notification No.370)." Our standard material shows the conformity value in all standards, so it can be used safely for customers who want to use it to contain food or feed crop.

Additive-free plastic bags for food and pharmaceutical products

Additive-free plastic bags for food and pharmaceutical products

We also produce flexible container bags combined with additive-free plastic bags for food and pharmaceutical products at customers’ request. LDPE and LLDPE are mainly used for the inner plastic bags of flexible container bags. Basically, the additive-free material is radical polymerization type of LDPE. On the other hand, because of ionic polymerization, LLDPE uses a catalyst for reactions such as inflation. General LLDPE uses a chlorine-based catalyst. However, calcium chloride and stearic acid are generated because chlorine is corrosive and “calcium stearate” is also added for neutralization.

We propose non-additive plastic bags to avoid dissolution of such substances and get into the contents. We also propose flexible container bags which combines composite specification aluminum inner bags for contents that are vulnerable to moisture. The sealed aluminum inner bags can completely protect the contents from moisture. In addition, in terms of high water content, aluminum inner bags has a low oxygen permeability, so it’s possible not only to prevent leakage of the contents, but also prevent the progress of some fermentations.
