Goglio GL18

• Packaging granular or powdered products such as coffee, flour, sugar, and spices.
• Creating pillow-pack style bags for various food and non-food items.
• Automating the packaging process from film roll to sealed product.
• Suitable for operations requiring high throughput and consistent bag formation.

Typical capacity

Typically, vertical form-fill-seal machines of this class can achieve speeds ranging from 30 to 80 bags per minute, depending on product density and bag size.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on motor size and heating elements.

Bag types

Primarily designed for pillow-pack style bags, but some units may be adaptable for gusseted or block-bottom bags with appropriate change parts.

Dosing system

This unit includes an auger dosing unit, which is ideal for accurate volumetric filling of powders and fine granular products like ground coffee.

Film materials

Typically compatible with various heat-sealable film materials, including laminates and co-extruded films, commonly found in roll stock format.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a typical footprint might range from 1.5m x 1.5m to 2.5m x 2.0m, plus space for material handling and operator access.

• What is meant by 'pillow pack style bags'?

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.
