- Typical throughput
- Units in this class commonly achieve speeds of 20 to 60 bags per minute, depending on product and bag size.
- Power supply
- Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, often 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption in the range of 3-7 kW.
- Air supply
- Integrated compressor units are common, but external compressed air (typically 6-8 bar) may also be required for some functions.
- Film material compatibility
- Generally compatible with a range of heat-sealable films, including laminates and polyethylene.
- Bag dimensions
- For this class of equipment, bag widths typically range from 50mm to 300mm, with lengths up to 400mm, though this is often adjustable.
- Footprint
- A typical vertical form-fill-seal machine occupies a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus space for material handling.
