PA - Kopas JK200F Vertical Form Fill & Seal Line

• Packaging free-flowing granular products such as nuts, seeds, pulses, and grains.
• Forming, filling, and sealing pillow-pack style bags for various food items.
• Automating the packaging process for snack foods, coffee beans, and confectionery.
• Handling products requiring precise volumetric dosing for consistent pack weights.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 30 to 80 bags per minute, depending on product, bag size, and film material.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with an associated power consumption that varies with operational load.

Bag style

This model is designed for producing pillow-pack style bags, a common format for free-flowing products.

Dosing system

Equipped with a volumetric filling system, suitable for accurately dosing free-flowing granular products.

Included peripherals

This line includes a checkweigher, infeed conveyor, and a thermal transfer printer for date coding.

Footprint

A vertical form fill and seal line with associated conveyors and dosing unit typically requires a significant operational area, often several metres in length and width.

• What types of film can this machine use?

  Vertical form fill and seal machines commonly utilise heat-sealable roll stock film, such as laminates or co-extruded films, suitable for the specific product and desired shelf life.

• Is this machine suitable for liquids or powders?

• What maintenance is typically required for a VFFS machine?

• Can the bag size be adjusted?

• What is the benefit of having a checkweigher included?

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.
