Why does a machine rated at 100 bags per minute often deliver less in actual production?

• Rated 100 bags/min is an ideal dry cycle, excluding actual feed, fill and seal times.
• Film tension fluctuation and heat-seal jaw recovery extend cycle time, cutting effective output.
• Poor material flow or inaccurate dosing causes stops and lowers the qualified rate.
• Changeover, cleaning and fault reset time dilute the average throughput.
• Require a 1-hour continuous run test including feeding and sealing to verify actual bags/min.
