What products can this VFFS line package?

This type of VFFS line is typically used for packaging free-flowing dry, granular, or small particulate products. The integrated linear weigher is well-suited for accurate dosing of such items.

What bag sizes can this machine produce?

The specific bag sizes depend on the forming tube and sealing jaws installed. For this class of equipment, it commonly handles bag widths from 60mm to 300mm and lengths up to 400mm.

Is this system suitable for liquids or pastes?

No, a standard VFFS line with a linear weigher is not designed for liquids or pastes. Different dosing systems, such as piston fillers or pump fillers, would be required for such applications.

What level of automation does this line offer?

This is a semi-automated to automated line, handling product feeding, weighing, bag forming, filling, and sealing. It reduces manual labour compared to completely manual packaging.

What maintenance is typically required for a VFFS line?

Routine maintenance typically involves checking and replacing wear parts like sealing jaws, cutting knives, and belts, as well as lubrication and cleaning of the film path and mechanical components.
