- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 30 to 120 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 compressed air supply.
- Weighing accuracy
- Multihead weighers are known for high accuracy, typically achieving weighments within 0.5-1.5g of target weight, depending on product characteristics.
- Bagging formats
- Vertical form-fill-seal machines commonly produce pillow bags, gusseted bags, and block bottom bags.
- Footprint
- A complete line, including infeed and outfeed conveyors, typically requires a significant floor area, often around 4-6 metres in length and 2-3 metres in width, plus operational space.
- Construction materials
- Components in contact with food are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to meet hygiene standards.
