Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of VFFS bagger, throughput typically ranges from 30 to 120 bags per minute, depending on product characteristics and bag size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a single-phase (1Ph) or three-phase (3Ph) electrical supply, typically 230V or 400V, with a power consumption that varies based on operational speed and heating elements.

Bag width range

The jaw width of 250mm suggests a maximum bag width of approximately 240mm. Forming sets commonly allow for various bag widths, typically from 50mm up to the maximum jaw width.

Construction material

VFFS machines for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, as indicated for this unit.

Sealing technology

Units commonly feature heat sealing, with adjustable seal temperatures and variable cool times to accommodate different film types and ensure seal integrity.

Integration with printers

It is common for VFFS baggers to integrate with thermal transfer overprinters (TTO) for inline date coding, batch numbering, or other variable data printing.
