Standalone or inline
Standalone units fit valves to pre-made bags by hand. Inline units sit on a form fill seal machine and place valves on running film. Ask which, and how it signals the bagger.

A valve applicator places one-way valves on coffee film or bags, and it only works with the valve it was tooled for, so a cheap applicator can lock you to one valve supplier.

Standalone units fit valves to pre-made bags by hand. Inline units sit on a form fill seal machine and place valves on running film. Ask which, and how it signals the bagger.
Valves fix by adhesive backing or by welding through the film, in different sizes. Ask which valves the tooling fits and the cost of a second die.
The valve must land in the printed window on every bag. Ask how position is set and held when film or bag supplier changes.
Most units are pneumatic. Ask the pressure and flow needed; one listing excluded the compressor.

| Require this | A pass looks like |
|---|---|
| Fit valves to a counted run of your bags at the rate an operator can sustain. | Every valve inside the printed window, fixed flat, and the rate per hour recorded. |
| Squeeze sample bags after fitting and sealing. | Every valve releases air one way and no bag leaks around the valve edge. |
| Fit a second valve type if you plan to switch supplier. | Die change timed and the second valve fits as well as the first. |
