Introducing the Former Jet: A New Standard for Washing & Sanitizing Bag Formers

Formers International Launches the Former Jet – A Revolution in Bag Former Washing and Sanitization

Houston, TX – Formers International, a global leader in high-quality bag forming assemblies for

food packaging lines, is proud to introduce its newest innovation: the Former Jet – a powerful,

efficient, and easy-to-use solution designed to wash, rinse, and sanitize bag formers in all food

packaging operations.

In the fast-paced world of food production, efficiency, cleanliness, and sustainability are non-

negotiable. Bag formers, which guide products such as chips and other foods into bags, are vital

components of this process. However, they are frequently exposed to oil, seasoning, and

product residue that builds up over time. This accumulation can interfere with bag forming

accuracy, cause sanitation concerns, all while sitting on a cart somewhere waiting for the

sanitation team to address.

In just a fraction of the time it takes for a manual wash, the Former Jet not only cleans and

sanitizes but also dries your former assemblies, making them ready for storage or immediate

use in production. This efficient process saves tens of thousands of gallons of water annually,

establishing the Former Jet as the sustainable choice for packaging line wash operations.

The Former Jet was designed with food packaging environments in mind. It’s unique and

customizable wash bay, along with the patent pending custom nozzle designs, accommodates

the variety of bag formers in each facility. Operations and sanitation teams can now efficiently

incorporate the Former Jet into existing cleaning protocols, reducing the time and effort typically

required to maintain forming equipment. Regular use of the Former Jet supports overall line

performance and safety compliance during the packaging process.

Key benefits include:

● High-temperature cleaning of oils, seasonings, and residue without disassembling the

bag former

● Improved sanitation, helping facilities meet industry EHS standards

● Minimal downtime, allows for efficient sanitation of bag former assemblies before and

after production or storage

● Operator-friendly design, offers simple and intuitive features for ease of training and

implementation

In an industry where cleanliness and uptime directly impact the bottom line, solutions such as

the Former Jet can offer a substantial return on investment. By ensuring the cleanliness of bag

forming assemblies and reducing maintenance-related delays, food packaging plants can

operate more efficiently and deliver a consistently high-quality product to the market.

Now imagine the significant reduction in consumer health risks when utilizing the Former Jet in

routine sanitation protocols. Additionally, the reduction of risk for product recalls and damage to

a brand’s reputation due to a contamination incident which could cost $10’s of millions or more.

The Former Jet is now available for order from Formers International. Manufactured in the

United States and available for global shipments. To learn more or schedule a live product
