in the SF framework technical inefficiencies range from 0 to \infty by assumption. Technical efficiency scores are instead bounded in the unit interval. As for DF, they can be estimated using standard software after some data manipulation. See among the others, Kumbhakar and Lovell (2000).

I tried to use the packages mentioned, but when I predict the inefficiencies, I get results that do not make sense (values bigger than 1).
