Overview

The twisted-rope shopping bag workhorse,
from compact to wide-format.

The SAGLIN-RZFD-T series is the twisted-rope handle workhorse of the SAGLIN paper bag range — seven configurations covering the full retail shopping bag spectrum, from the compact RZFD-190 for small premium carriers to the wide-format RZFD-550N for large branded and gift bags. Twisted-rope handle is the premium retail standard: strong load capacity and a recognisable mid-to-high-end look.

“Twisted-rope handle is the premium retail standard worldwide — and the N models bring inline brand-graphic printing into the same machine, turning a commodity bag into a branded carrier.”

The series splits into two families. The standard models (RZFD-190 / 250 / 330 / 450A) cover plain twisted-rope shopping bags, with the RZFD-190 reaching up to 200 bags/min on compact formats. The printing-ready N models (RZFD-400N / 450N / 550N) add an optional inline 2-color or 4-color flexographic printing unit, producing branded retail bags directly from the kraft roll for cosmetics, apparel, and premium gift accounts.

Every RZFD-T machine ships with electrical and pneumatic specifications adapted for the Russian market (380V / 50Hz, EAC support). Installation, commissioning, and operator training are handled by our partner HD RUS LLC in the Moscow region.

The RZFD-190 reaches the 200 bags/min peak on the most compact formats; the 250 and 330 run up to 180 bags/min. Wider configurations run lower — 450A and 450N at 120 bags/min, 400N at 130 bags/min, 550N at 110 bags/min. The N models (400N / 450N / 550N) are printing-ready and accept an optional inline flexographic printing unit; their larger footprint and Φ1500 mm roll capacity reflect the wider, heavier-paper formats. Specifications subject to continuous improvement.

Inline Flexo Printing (N Models)

Brand-graphic bags, direct from the kraft roll.

The printing-ready N models — RZFD-400N, 450N, and 550N — accept an optional inline flexographic printing unit. For converters serving cosmetics chains, apparel brands, and premium gift retailers, the ability to print brand artwork directly during bag forming is the difference between commodity producer economics and brand-graphic supplier margins.

The traditional route sends a kraft roll through an offset press first, then through the bag-forming machine — adding lead time, registration risk, and a 30–50% cost markup. The inline flexo unit eliminates both steps: one machine, one operator, one production run, one quality control loop.

  • 2-color flexo: spot-color brand logo, single-side print
  • 4-color flexo: full CMYK process, both-side capability
  • Available on the N models (400N / 450N / 550N)
  • Factory-fit at quotation stage for best integration

Typical Bag-Unit Cost Reduction

Inline flexo production of branded retail bags typically reduces bag-unit cost by 40–55% versus the traditional offset-then-form route, before counting lead time savings and quality control benefits. Actual savings depend on print complexity and order volume.

Engineering

Eight features for two-shift production.

The RZFD-T series is engineered for industrial use. Here is what differentiates the series from generic twisted-rope handle machines in the same class.

01

Twisted-Rope Handle Forming

Dedicated twisted paper rope handle forming with Φ3–5 mm rope. Strong load capacity and the recognisable premium retail look that defines mid-to-high-end shopping bags.

02

German LENZE Motion Control

LENZE PC motion controller paired with LENZE servo drives. Optical fiber integration ensures stability up to the 200 bags/min ceiling on the RZFD-190.

03

SICK Optical Detection

German SICK photoelectric eye correction with optical fiber tracking. Maintains print-bag registration on the N model inline flexo configurations.

04

Touchscreen Job Memory

Touchscreen HMI with point-mark function and job memory for recurring artwork. Multi-language operator panel (EN / RU / ZH).

05

Inline Flexo Capability (N)

The N models accept a factory-fit 2- or 4-color flexographic printing unit. Produces branded bags directly from the kraft roll — eliminating offset-print outsourcing.

06

Hydraulic Auto-Lifting Loading

Hydraulic loading structure for Φ1200–1500 mm paper rolls. Single-operator changeover, reduced operator strain, automatic constant tension during unwinding.

07

EPC Web Guide

Edge position control with constant tension system for raw material unwinding. Reduces alignment time at changeover and minimises paper waste.

08

Eaton Main Electrical Gear

American Eaton main contactors and breakers. Reliable performance under two-shift duty cycles, predictable maintenance intervals, global parts availability.

Frequently Asked

Questions before signing the contract.

Which configuration should I choose across the seven RZFD-T models?
Choose based on your widest target bag and whether you need inline printing. RZFD-190 / 250 / 330 are the volume choices for compact and mid-format shopping bags, with the RZFD-190 reaching up to 200 bags/min. RZFD-450A is the wide-format standard (plain) machine. The N models (400N / 450N / 550N) are printing-ready — order these if you plan to run branded retail bags with inline flexo. The 550N extends to the widest formats (bag width up to 550 mm) with heavyweight paper up to 150 g/m².
What is the difference between the standard models and the N models?
The standard models RZFD-190 / 250 / 330 / 450A produce plain twisted-rope handle shopping bags (paper 50–140 g/m²). The N models (400N / 450N / 550N) are printing-ready: they accept an optional inline 2- or 4-color flexographic printing unit and run heavier paper up to 150 g/m². If you produce branded retail bags, choose an N model. If you produce plain kraft shopping bags, a standard model is more cost-efficient.
What is the realistic production speed under shop-floor conditions?
The RZFD-190 reaches 200 bags/min peak on the most compact formats; the 250 and 330 reach 180 bags/min with calibrated 60–100 g/m² paper. Wider models run lower: 450A at 30–120, 400N at 30–130, 450N at 30–120, 550N at 30–110 bags/min. In two-shift production with mid-size bags, sustained averages settle 10–15% below peak. Inline flexo printing on N models reduces sustained speed by a further 15–25%.
What is the lead time and payment structure?
Lead time: 45–60 days from receipt of 30% deposit. Payment terms: 30% T/T down payment, 70% T/T before shipment. Shipment: by vessel on pallets to St. Petersburg or Novorossiysk (typically 35–45 days transit). Warranty: 12 months from acceptance. Quote validity is 6 months from issue date.
Can I add inline printing later to a standard model?
Inline flexo printing is designed into the N models specifically — we recommend ordering an N model if there is any near-term likelihood of running branded bags. Retrofitting a printing unit onto a standard RZFD-190 / 250 / 330 / 450A after delivery is not recommended, as the standard machine bed is not configured for the printing station. If you’re undecided, specify an N model at the quotation stage.
Is the machine EAC certified for the Russian market?
SAGLIN-RZFD-T carries CE certification from factory. EAC certification (Russian Customs Union conformity declaration) is arranged through our partner HD RUS LLC in the Moscow region as part of the turnkey delivery package. Estimated certification lead time: 30–45 days, included in our standard project schedule.
What spare parts inventory should I keep?
We recommend a 12-month spare parts kit covering belts, sensors, electrical contactors, and pneumatic valves at approximately 3–5% of machine value. Cutting blades, gluing nozzles, and rope-forming components are wear items with predictable replacement intervals. HD RUS LLC keeps a fast-moving parts inventory in Khimki and ships within 24 hours across Russia.
What installation and training is included?
Installation is performed by SAGLIN engineers with HD RUS local support. The customer covers round-trip tickets, hotel, and meals for the engineers. Operator training is 5 working days, conducted in Russian by HD RUS technical staff in Khimki, including paper selection, glue formulation, twisted-rope handle troubleshooting, and brand-graphic registration calibration for N inline flexo configurations.
