- Typical capacity
- Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 30 to 120 bags per minute, depending on product, bag size, and film type.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with installed power often between 5 kW and 15 kW.
- Bag dimensions
- Vertical form, fill and seal machines are generally capable of producing bags with widths typically from 50mm to 350mm and lengths up to 500mm or more.
- Film materials
- These machines are commonly compatible with various heat-sealable film materials, including laminates, polyethylene, and polypropylene.
- Footprint
- For this class of equipment, a typical footprint can be around 1.5m to 2.5m in length, 1m to 2m in width, and 1.8m to 2.5m in height.
- Sealing type
- Most VFFS machines utilise heat sealing for both horizontal and vertical seals, commonly producing pillow bags, gusseted bags, or block bottom bags.
