Abstract: A form-fill-seal machine and a method for manufacturing and filling a bag (100) having a drawstring tape or cord. The form-fill-seal machine includes a device to guide a film on the machine. A conveying device positions at least one drawstring tape or cord on the film. A folding device folds the film to form a first sheet and a second sheet of the bag. First and second welding jaws weld the first sheet and the second sheet to close two sides of the bag and leave a third side of the bag open. A filling chute fills the bag by the third side of the bag. Third welding jaws close the bag by sealing the third side.

Abstract: The invention relates to a form fill seal machine (200) for producing and filling a bag (100) with a band, said bag comprising a first sheet (112) and a second sheet (114) that together form a first edge (117) and a second edge (118) of the bag, and a band closing device (120), the machine comprising:—a device (210) configured to feed a film (1) onto the machine,—a conveying device (215) configured to position at least one band (136) on the film,—a folding device (240) configured to fold the film (1) in such a way as to form the first sheet (112) and the second sheet (114) of the bag,—welding jaws (245a, 245b) configured to weld the first sheet (112) and the second sheet (114) in such a way as to close two sides of the bag and leave a third side of the bag open,—a filling chute (250) configured to fill the bag via the third side of the bag, and—welding jaws (255) configured to close the bag by sealing the third side.
