Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, speeds commonly range from 40 to 100 bags per minute, depending on product, bag size, and film type.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with an approximate power consumption of 5-10 kW.

Bag dimensions

Commonly, these machines can produce pillow bags with widths ranging from 80mm to 250mm and lengths up to 350mm, though exact ranges vary by model.

Film compatibility

Typically compatible with heat-sealable laminated films, including BOPP, PET/PE, and metallised films, suitable for both clear and pre-printed rolls.

Air consumption

Pneumatic systems are common, typically requiring a compressed air supply of 6-8 bar at approximately 300-600 litres per minute.

Footprint

A complete line including a multihead weigher and conveyor typically requires a floor space of approximately 3m x 2m x 3.5m (LWH).

• What kind of products can this machine pack?

  This type of VFFS machine is designed for free-flowing granular products such as snacks, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and similar items. It is not generally suitable for powders or liquids without specific modifications.

• Can it handle different bag sizes?

• What is a multihead weigher and why is it included?

• What does 'Photo electronic eye for packing on pre-printed film' mean?

• Is training typically required to operate such equipment?

• What kind of maintenance does a VFFS machine require?

Form-fill-seal machines hold strong reputations in food packaging for reliability and consistent output. Buyers typically prioritise machines with clear maintenance histories and verified production specifications. Key strengths include versatility across film types and product formats, alongside relatively straightforward operation. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine seal quality consistency, film tracking accuracy, and the condition of heating elements. Machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence. Downtime for repairs is a common concern, so availability of spare parts and technical support merits careful consideration before acquisition.
