What is a Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) machine?

An FFS machine forms a bag from a roll of film, fills it with product, and then seals it, all in one continuous automated process.

What are block bottom bags?

Block bottom bags have a flat base, allowing them to stand upright on shelves, offering good product presentation and stability.

Can this machine handle different products?

While configured for ground coffee, FFS machines of this type can often be adapted to package other dry, granular, or powdered products with appropriate change parts and dosing systems.

What maintenance is typically required?

Regular maintenance for FFS machines includes checking and replacing wear parts like sealing jaws, belts, and bearings, as well as routine cleaning and lubrication.

Is specialist film required for FFS machines?

Yes, FFS machines typically use heat-sealable roll stock film, often laminated, which is suitable for the specific product and desired barrier properties.
