What types of film can this system use?

Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS) systems are typically compatible with various heat-sealable roll films, including laminates and co-extruded films, often set up for printed film with registration marks.

Is this system suitable for washdown environments?

Given its stainless steel construction, this type of system is generally designed for food processing environments and can withstand appropriate washdown procedures. Buyers should confirm specific IP ratings with the seller.

What kind of maintenance is typically required?

Routine maintenance for VFFS systems includes checking and replacing wear parts like sealing jaws, knives, belts, and bearings, along with calibration of the weighing system. Regular cleaning is also essential.

Can the bag size be changed?

Yes, bag sizes can typically be changed by replacing the forming collar (former) and adjusting parameters on the HMI. This unit includes an extra flat bag forming collar.

What is the purpose of the mezzanine?

The mezzanine provides an elevated platform for the multi-head weigher, allowing gravity to feed product into the VFFS machine below, optimising the system's footprint and operational flow.
