Typical throughput

For this class of vertical form-fill-seal machine, throughput commonly ranges from 20 to 60 bags per minute, depending on product and bag size.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption of 3-7 kW.

Air supply

A compressed air supply is generally needed, typically 6-8 bar at 200-500 litres/minute, for jaw operation and other pneumatic components.

Film width

The maximum film width for vertical form-fill-seal machines in this category is typically between 400mm and 600mm.

Bag dimensions

Commonly, bag widths can range from 80mm to 250mm, with lengths up to 400mm, though this is dependent on the specific former and jaw configuration.

Footprint

A typical footprint for a vertical form-fill-seal machine is approximately 1.5m (L) x 1.2m (W) x 2.5m (H), excluding ancillary equipment.

Material compatibility

These machines are commonly compatible with various heat-sealable films, including laminates, polyethylene, and polypropylene.

• What kind of products can this machine package?

• What does 'print registration' mean?

• What is a 'Preston coder'?

• Can this machine handle different bag sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used unit?

• Is installation and commissioning support usually available?

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.
