How To Plan Ahead For A Packaging Machine Installation

Are you planning a FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) or Big Bag filling machine installation? If so, it might seem like there’s never an ideal time to do it.

With production operating 24/7 and urgent matters constantly demanding attention, you might feel like putting the installation off. With the right preparation, the process can go more smoothly than you think. Here’s how you can execute it painlessly.

It’s difficult to predict how long an installation will take. It will depend on the supplier, how small or large the installation is or if the machine is ready. At Webster Griffin, after designing and planning, we usually take one to two weeks for installation. Having open communication with our clients helps us adhere to deadlines and deal with any setbacks. We’ve also found that focusing on the following activities can further ease the process.

Make sure that your teams know about the machine’s installation date and downtime in advance so they can raise any questions or concerns. You’ll also need to speak to the supplier to see if they’ll need help with installation and moving the machine into place.

Bring the discussion to your application.

Describe your product, packaging, target output and site requirements. Our team can help you define the appropriate equipment and project scope.
