B and C Vertical Form Fill Seal

• Packaging of snack foods such as crisps, nuts, and confectionery.
• Bagging of granular products like sugar, rice, or coffee beans.
• Packaging of powders including flour, spices, or chemical additives.
• Suitable for packaging small components or hardware items.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 20 to 80 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.

Bag width range

With a 300mm jaw width, this machine is typically capable of producing bags with a width up to approximately 280-290mm.

Film types

Commonly handles various heat-sealable film types, including laminates and polyethylene.

Footprint

A vertical form fill seal machine with an outfeed conveyor typically requires a footprint of approximately 1.5m x 2.5m to 2m x 3m, plus space for material loading.

Temperature control

Adjustable temperature controls are standard, allowing for optimisation across different film materials.

• What does 'Vertical Form Fill Seal' mean?

  It refers to a packaging process where film is formed into a bag vertically, filled with product, and then sealed. This is a common method for flexible packaging.

• What kind of products can this machine package?

• Is an elevator outfeed conveyor included?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used VFFS machine?

• Can this machine handle different bag sizes?

Form-fill-seal machines are valued in food processing for their reliability and operational efficiency. Buyers typically appreciate their ability to handle multiple film types and product specifications. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should examine sealing quality, film tracking systems and overall mechanical wear. These machines generally offer strong performance in high-volume production environments. Key considerations include maintenance history, spare parts availability and compatibility with existing production lines.
