Goglio GL18

• Packaging of granular products such as coffee beans, rice, pulses, and pet food.
• Forming, filling, and sealing bags for snacks, confectionery, and dried fruits.
• Creating sealed pouches for powders like flour, sugar, or spices.
• Packaging hardware components, small parts, or non-food items in flexible bags.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, output commonly ranges from 15 to 30 bags per minute, depending on bag size and product characteristics.

Bag styles

Units of this type typically produce block bottom, pillow, or gusseted bags.

Bag material

Commonly processes heat-sealable roll stock film, including laminates suitable for gas flushing or valve application.

Dosing system

Often integrated with multi-head weighers, linear weighers, or volumetric fillers depending on the product.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power consumption based on configuration.

Air supply

Pneumatic systems are common, requiring a clean, dry compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar.

• What is a VFF&S machine?

  VFF&S stands for Vertical Form-Fill-Seal. These machines form a bag from a roll of film, fill it with product, and then seal it, all in a continuous vertical motion.

• What is a linear weigher?

Form-fill-seal machines hold strong reputations in food packaging for reliability and consistent output. Buyers typically prioritise machines with clear maintenance histories and verified production specifications. Key strengths include versatility across film types and product formats, alongside relatively straightforward operation. When purchasing used units, inspectors should examine seal quality consistency, film tracking accuracy, and the condition of heating elements. Machines from established manufacturers generally command buyer confidence. Downtime for repairs is a common concern, so availability of spare parts and technical support merits careful consideration before acquisition.
