OPEM F200

• Packaging of dry goods such as coffee, nuts, and pulses to extend shelf life.
• Sealing of fresh or processed foods to maintain quality and prevent spoilage.
• Bagging of granular or powdered products requiring a vacuum seal.
• Packaging of non-food items sensitive to oxidation or moisture.

Typical throughput

For this class of VFF&S machine, throughput typically ranges from 15 to 40 bags per minute, depending on product, bag size, and film material.

Bag dimensions

Units of this type commonly handle bag widths from 80mm to 250mm and lengths up to 350mm, but specific tooling determines exact ranges.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption of 5-10 kW, plus compressed air.

Vacuum level

Equipped with two vacuum pumps, this unit is capable of achieving high vacuum levels, typically down to 1-10 mbar absolute.

Footprint

A VFF&S machine with an integrated vacuum section commonly requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 2.5m, plus access for maintenance.

Film materials

Suitable for heat-sealable laminated films, commonly PET/PE, OPP/PE, or aluminium foil laminates, designed for vacuum packaging.
